Wow, this is actually happening. A play that dives into American sex/kink/racism is not what I usually expect from Broadway.
Slave Play is brilliant and I highly recommend it. I may get a ticket just to watch the rest of the audience though. Is America ready to literally* look at themselves in the mirror while slave plantation sex is going on?
* The back of the set is a gigantic mirror wall.
Hmmmm, I love how light my MacBook is. Now that Apple has gotten rid of it, I wonder if I should buy a refurb of a maxed out 2017 model. I have the first and I’ve read the performance got a lot better. 🤔
Kimchi Cuddles’ Kitty Alignment Matrix! //@hollyhoneychurch 🐈
Now any time I see a cat in a Marvel film, my immediate thought is: “I wonder if the kitty is actually an extremely dangerous, yet cute, tentacle alien?” //@hollyhoneychurch
For international sports, the networks should just replace every announcer with Leslie Jones. She’s a national treasure. ⚽️
It feels good to be able to unambiguously cheer on an American trolling Europeans. ⚽️
Aaaaand to laugh at the Brits who find Morgan just so uncouth.
I rarely plug fundraisers on here, but I love Rachel Lark’s music and if her Patreon gets to 250 supporters, she’ll come out east!
Finally upgrading my laptop to Mojave. From El Cap. You know, to see if they have all the bugs ironed out. 🙃 //@kimonostereo
Privacy…I inquired about an Airbnb asking about security cameras, particularly in the bedroom.
Host’s response? Declining my request to book because they had a toddler and felt freaked out by my question.
So…not wanting to be surveilled now means one is a dangerous predator?
So human brains are constantly surprising. I had a massive shift during therapy today and a side effect is I have gone physically mute. Like, my vocal cords don’t work.
It’s only be about 6 hours and I’ve started to be able to make grunts, so I’m not particularly worried. But the combo of brain plasticity and psychosomatic symptoms is bizarre.
And thank goodness for Quakerism. Plenty of experience practicing day long silence. :)
@johnphilpin Any thoughts about what’s happening in Venezuela?
Winer really should stop talking about privilege. How much did a computer cost in 1997? Might having to go to a public library* to use one be a hurdle? Even if one wants to ignore the way race is inescapable in the US, wealth is also a form of privilege.
* If your town’s had one.
Booked my ticket from Albany to LA. I’ll end up with enough points to get super elite status. 🙃
Which semi-ironically gets me free access to United lounges when I fly.
So am I completely bonkers for considering taking a train to LA for a gig instead of flying out? Carbon emissions and all.
I’ve been using the Luna dongle and my 12.9” iPad as a second monitor while drafting this week. So useful. I haven’t noticed even a bit of lag (I’m connected via a cord as I’m on an institutional WiFi network, so not sure how snappy wireless would be). 🖋💻
Do you know what I don’t want Gas Station TV? “A new and exciting experience every time I pump.” How ‘bout some peace and quiet instead. 🙄
Speaking of British politics, @johnphilpin, I particularly enjoyed the juxtaposition of these headlines in The Guardian.
