Today I discussed the importance of neurodivergent and queer, non-binary and trans performers getting the opportunity to create and share their stories with a colleague and I'm pumped for the solo show workshop we are building. I'm so excited and grateful to have found Neuroqueer Creative.

no but actually why is there a literal ring of fire in southern wales though?? what the FUCK? and why are there so many out of control fires here compared to England? A LITTLE HELP PLEASE?

A map of southern Wales from firemap.live that shows a number of large fires, but in particular multiple fires which appear to make a ring shape including Merthyr Tydfil, Cwmbran, Caephilly just outside of Cardiff and Newport.

Acting is for goofballs who love to say "what if...?" and then follow the thread to see where it goes. It's okay if you don't live in realism. it's okay to love melodrama and stylized performance. it's okay if you're quirky or over the top or loosey-goosey or hate being centerstage.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time.

NEW: I wrote for MSNBC about how Madison Square Garden turning off their facial recognition cameras for Taylor Swift is a perfect encapsulation of our dystopian present: where the wealthy can use surveillance to consolidate power, and the rest of us live in a privately owned panopticon.

ms.now

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got to buy MSG's privacy. Her fans aren't so lucky.

Reports that Madison Square Garden temporarily shut off its facial recognition system for Swift’s wedding expose a glaring problem with how the elite wield and control mass surveillance.

I think it’s devastating to be an artist now. Art and creativity are work that comes from the body. There is no inspiration without breath. When AI and companies steal and plagiarize, they steal our breath. How do we commit to our work when powerful entities steal the breath from our lungs?

I have spent years working in theatres watching people make magic from nothing. From scraps, from waste, from donated old paint. Making and building anew. Flats and props repurposed. AI isn't the same. A burning of the earth for a facsimile of an idea. An empty, soulless cruelty.
