Real talk: the Fringe is expensive. That’s why we need a space like @venue13fringe.bsky.social to make space for artists who might otherwise be priced out of participation and access! Help make that happen: crowdfund.edfringe.com/p/venue13ret... #edfringe #daretodiscover #edfringe2025 #venue13

If anyone asks about the Ecoscenography Lab for @usitt.bsky.social at #usitt2025 we may have reconfigured the chairs and projector.

❤️They’re my favorite, I’ve been working on a wrapping tattoo of it on my left arm… reminds me of home in Los Angeles (even if it’s from Brazil originally). Sorry, I get excited by bougainvillea!

"All good things must begin"-While folks discover Butler's uncanny ability to anticipate our present in her Parable duology, I want to point to a quote from her journals I keep at my desk, and we used as the theme for the 2023 Climate Change Theatre Action. Works however you emphasize it IMHO.

@debcha.bsky.social I marvel that your post found me again after a former student posted a screenshot in their IG stories from a witchy IG account reposting @showmeyourmask.bsky.social ‘s IG post of a thread, reposting from @katharinehayhoe.com on threads of a screenshot of the original post here 🤯

Smoke billowing as we depart LA back to Toronto. Thinking about friends who have lost homes and things, family waiting for power to be restored, and all the places we’ve lost and may still lose that have stupid personal memories. All during a week of loss of luminaries and plans for memorials.
Hazy smoke rises over Los Angeles in the early morning, glowing clouds rising into a yellow and orange sky.
