[ID: Six screencaps from Taskmaster. Rosie Jones asks, "Would you rather make sweet love to my body..." Greg Davies puts a hand to his forehead with a long-suffering smile. Rosie continues, "...but with Alex's head..." Greg and Alex Horne glance at each other, amused. Rosie says, "...or Alex's body with my head?" Greg closes his eyes, removing his glasses wearily. End ID.]

i just read an article and apparently jonathan kaplan (who played jason in the falsettos obc and was 11 at the time), watched his voice teacher who helped him through the show's auditions decline and eventually die from aids related illness during the show's previews.

in this same article michael rupert mentioned how there would be patients who came and saw the show and would go to the stage door just to be near the performers and tell them how much the story meant to them.

one day, heather macrae (charlotte) attended the funeral of her friend paul jabra and immediately after went straight to the theatre to perform in the evening show.

stephen bogardus recalls leaving the theatre and walking through the audience (about 15 minutes after the show had finished) and people would still be there holding each other.

My favorite part of Downton is actually when Thomas's job is almost over after O'Brien outs him and Robert is like "I explored many men's bodies back in my day at Eton... anyways CRICKET. WE MUST HAVE CRICKET" and it's never mentioned again

Munther Isaac's Christmas message from Bethlehem. It's in English so there's no mistaking who needs to hear it. Please don't ignore it.

"We will be OK. Despite the immense blow we have endured, we, the Palestinians, will recover. We will rise. We will stand up again from the midst of destruction, as we have always done as Palestinians. Although this is, by far, maybe the biggest blow we have received in a long time, but we will be OK. But for those who are complicit, I feel sorry for you. Will you ever recover from this? Your charity and your words of shock after the genocide won't make a difference, and I know these words of shock are coming, and I know people will give generously for charity, but your words won't make a difference. Words of regret won't suffice for you. And let me say it; we will not accept your apology after the genocide. What has been done has been done. I want you to look in the mirror, and ask: Where was I when Gaza was going through a genocide?"

[ID: Five screencaps from Taskmaster, showing the contestants’ attempts to make snowmen. One is made of marshmallows, with a wool hat and mittens. One is a lump of ice with carrot ends for eyes, a carrot nose, and twig arms. One is made of ice cream and raisins. One is made of mashed potato, wearing a flat cap and scarf. One is a stuffed white rabbit toy with blue ice cubes on its head. End ID.]
