thank you prev

need him in a way. not telling you which one

I'll gladly pay 25¢ more for a double cheeseburger if it means the workers get paid a decent wage.

Also, price increases happen all the time even when wages do not increase.

They didn't have to increase prices in the first place. This is a choice not someone holding a gun to their head

Also prices of fast food are rising in places without wage increases as well

no one ever lets me be friends with their mom 😔

friend’s mom checking up on me bc she adores me? i get a text from friend saying “STOP TEXTING MY MOTHER”. sister’s partner’s mom has similar interests as me? we have to play telephone through our respective family members bc asking for phone numbers gets an “absolutely not.” coworker’s mom is obsessed with all the shows that i am and is a chronic rewatcher as well? “no. NO. you are not gonna be tv watch buddies with my mom. that’s NOT happening.”

no one lets me have any fun

this is still so funny to me

i’ve been left unsupervised with a mom’s phone number

You guys aren’t gonna believe this

Ever since this happened I have not found a shiny Pokémon in the game

okay tumblr

happy 100.1% tumblr poll result tuesday

terfs straight up do not like women. they talk big game about finding strength in fucking female pride or whatever and then act like anyone who finds real joy and delight in being a woman is some kind of "delusional" gender culture vulture. you scroll their blogs and 50% of their posts are "lol when libfems say [x]" and the other 50% are harassing random trans women. they identify what they think are the most pressing dangers of patriarchy and lay the blame squarely on women's shoulders for being too dumb to resist. they have bios like "I'm here to center women 💞" and I guess they're telling the truth because it's a 24/7 "here's another woman I hate" grindset over there. men are, at best, a macguffin in their ideology, they despise women exactly as much as all the fascist politicians whose policies they support.

love shakespeare. did a hamlet run tonight, looked someone dead in the eye to say “am i a coward?” during a speech and the fucker shrugged and nodded

we literally ruined society when we invented the fourth wall. let’s bring back call and response. heckling, even. fuck you hamlet you dumb piece of shit kill your uncle or shut up

"When we took Shakespeare’s “Measure for Measure” into a maximum security woman’s prison on the West Side… there’s a scene there where a young woman is told by a very powerful official that “If you sleep with me, I will pardon your brother. And if you don’t sleep with me, I’ll execute him.” And he leaves the stage. And this character, Isabel, turned out to the audience and said: “To whom should I complain?” And a woman in the audience shouted: “The Police!” And then she looked right at that woman and said: “If I did relate this, who would believe me?” And the woman answered back, “No one, girl.”

And it was astonishing because not only was it an amazing sense of connection between the audience and the actress, but you also realized that this was a kind of an historical lesson in theater reception. That’s what must have happened at The Globe. These soliloquies were not simply monologues that people spoke, they were call and response to the audience. And you realized that vibrancy, that that sense of connectedness is not only what makes theater great in prisons, it’s what makes theater great, period."

Oskar Eustis on ArtBeat Nation

I was in the front row of a Hamlet performance where the "Am I a coward?" was directed at me and I, being a no-impulse-control gremlin, hollered back "Yes!!" (they'd primed us ahead of time that audience interaction was encouraged). Hamlet got right up in my face as he kept talking and just kept going until I gently pushed him back; I forget what line it was on when it happened but he took the direction of the push and reeled away across the stage.

This meant that I had marked myself as someone willing to be fucked with, and so during the graveyard scene later he approached me again. "Here hung those lips that I have kissed--" he booped my mouth with the skull's "-- I know not how oft."

I have stories related to me from those at Blackfriars, the American Shakespeare Center (they play in a replica of the original Blackfriars, with modern safety conventions like lightbulbs in the chandeliers, but a great dedication to the way structure shaped the original work in the original Blackfriars. Their house is only about 45 ft deep (roughly 15 m I think), which is about the max distance two sighted people can be from each other and still make eye contact. They play with the stage and house equally lit, they talk to the audience, they enter from the audience, they whip up crowds from within the audience. It’s fantastic. But anyway, on to the stories.)
