Calling all theatre, dance, comedy lovers in or in travelling distance of Dunedin: TAHI Ōtepoti starts on Wednesday and it would be super amazing if ALL of the shows could get really good houses. New festival = new opportunities for artists AND audiences. www.dunedinartsfestival.co.nz/shows

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, in heaven. A dog with little wings runs towards her open arms. Off panel, a speech bubble reads “welcome to Heaven! Here is your dog!”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. She says, “where’s my cat?”
The third panel zooms out. There are dogs with little wings everywhere. Sarah says, “Where’s ANY of the cats?”
The fourth panel shows a circle of cats holding hands and dancing gleefully surrounded by flames in hell.

Every intro to sociology class I teach gets this image.
A small digger trying its hardest to dig out the Ever Given ship that has run aground. It says, “Structural Problem” on the giant Ever Given and, “Making different personal choices” on the tiny digger.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

This one speaks to me
A yellow and black warning sign with two icons of a running human crossed out in red and a walking human circled in green. Text reads 

Don't chase your dreams!
​Humans are persistence hunters.
​Follow your dreams at a sustainable pace until they get tired and lie down.

Instead of trying to ban under-sixteens from using social media, governments should force tech companies to employ teenagers as mentors with the job of teaching ethics, empathy, and basic human decency to the sociopathic manbabies who own the social media platforms.
