Let's try this again. I love @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social's writing and this is a fantastic review of a Phoebe Bridgers show I'm not able to see. "Now, she said, she realized that trauma and heartbreak and loss affect everyone. That's what it is to be human. Art is just an attempt to manage it."

Mike Sablone @mikesablone.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Well this is embarrassing. My apologies. However you both are awesome so I don't take that back. I just take back the wrong attribution. (Very glad I didn't tag @drewmagary.bsky.social to begin with)

Love @laurentheisen.bsky.social's writing and Phoebe Bridgers' music so this is a no brainer of beauty. Favorite quote: Now, she said, she realized that trauma and heartbreak and loss affect everyone. That’s what it is to be human. Art is just an attempt to manage it. defector.com/phoebe-bridg...

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

We've started rehearsals this week for a world premiere comedy by Kristoffer Diaz called FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL. Directed by Ashley Rodbro, it's an absurd comedy about...football. And America. And also fake mustaches. There is no place you'd rather be than in Greenville, South Carolina in June!

This. I am done returning to the status quo of what got us here. I want universal healthcare. I want a maximum wage tied to the minimum wage. I want omnipresent, cheap public transit and walkable neighborhoods. I want Supreme Court and police reform, and I want the rich to pay their fair share.

I often think about spending an entire year of my life working at Suncoast trying to convince patrons to buy the widescreen version of movies. So in some ways I'm still wasting my time thinking about how I wasted time spitting into the wind to only have it just start to rain a few years later.

"Historical references aren't hard to find, here, even if none are quite exact. It's part HUAC, part Salem 1692, but also partly its own new thing, of this moment: campy, Evangelical, openly and equally hateful and opportunistic, and above all else, shameless."

@jonbois.bsky.social I need a slogan for a play we're producing about football called FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL by a Tony nominated Pulitzer Prize finalist playwright (Kris Diaz). You're a character in it as the only voice of reason. Also the cast is all women. (All of this is true.)

Well I think it's a combination of backing into spots and the fact that every parking lot is designed for compact cars despite everyone in our county having giant ass trucks.
