asking for the bare minimum of inclusion is suddenly seen as a ridiculous request when done by a nonbinary person.

Dear Leopard,

I really appreciate you eating people's faces. But can you stop eating mine?

The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.

Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”

Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”

The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.

Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”

Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.

Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.

ok next to normal thoughts before i forget:

best direction and blocking i have EVER witnessed in a musical theater production. like actually insane. catch me i’m falling. the three men onstage. diana and gabe closing their eyes at the same time. mirroring between diana and natalie. they were just constantly moving in and out of each other’s orbits

JACK WOLFE. FUCKING JACK WOLFE. the humanity he brings to Gabe, even as he haunts the stage. the PHYSICALITY. the way he clings to diana. the final interaction with dan. stellar. oh my fucking god. such a well-rounded, bone-chilling, devastating performance. best portrayal of Gabe i’ve seen if not one of the best performances i’ve seen period.

no real weak links?????? i mean, dan was by far the weakest, but he still had moments and overall a star-studded cast. unexpectedly loved loved loved this interpretation of henry. and natalie as well, she is a character so near and dear to my heart and she was portrayed perfectly by eleanor worthington-cox, through her anger and her hurt at being forgotten and her drug-induced highs and overwhelming fear that she’s going to hurt Henry and become like her mom. very strong and definitely hit home. doctor was such a solid rock with great comedic timing and a true human concern for diana. dan was fantastic that last scene, viscerally painful (although i didn’t care for his singing overall). and diana was the lifeblood of the show and she killed it. natalie and gabe were standouts to me, but everyone was great.

cinematography. editing. from rockstar doctor to the focus on the music box. serious kudos. it was stylistic which ik some people didn’t appreciate but i loved it

set design: with Gabe joining the ‘glass box’ with the pit, Natalie’s ‘room’, everything centered around the kitchen, the aggressive lights.

i don’t really know what else to say, i’m absolutely floored. again the show itself means so so much to me and this was an incredible production. unbelievably grateful they decided to do a proshot and hope it’s released so i can rewatch and analyze the heck out of all the acting and directing choices

them constantly reaching for each other oh they make me sick

No shade to PBS but being so pearl clutching about curse words in a show about severe mental health conditions, drug abuse, and a suicide attempt is so fucking american and ridiculous

I read my askbox right before I fell asleep and I proceeded to have a dream that I accidentally picked up a blue ringed octopus. I woke up and was like WELL… THIS MUST BE THE END… and then realized I was fine LMAO

This regime wants to exert even more control over the news and information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all. That's why it is attacking publicly funded media like NPR and PBS. But it's also part of a ploy to gut vital public services and oversight in order to clear the way for more tax cuts (and subsidies) that will predominantly go to the super-rich and powerful corporations. Know the truth. (Art work by @doodlebymeg)
