I kinda envy those who experience Hadestown without knowing the ending—the audible collective gasp in the theatre at that key moment was amazing
(on the other hand, Wait For Me punched me in the gut so much harder for knowing the story)

Had the immense pleasure of seeing The Pansy Craze last weekend.
@masonalexanderpark.bsky.social's review of recent queer history was smart & funny, with Sasha Velour as a great guest. Mason had performed as Hedwig and gave some deeply moving (and thematically so on point) songs from the show 🥲

Sad to see. The Holy See’s virulent anti-AI stance will hold the Church back as other religions continue to innovate. Praying the Pope adopts a grindset more compatible with the speed of the modern world
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

When I was doing my PGCE we were heavily encouraged to use AI to help with lesson planning. I asked it to give me a list of the first 20 elements in a random order, the list included triangle, gold and air. Not touched it since.

Incredibly good advice from someone who used to rate AI results. Definitely going to use this.

Really enjoy the National Ballet of Canada's production of The Winter's Tale. Great score and incredible performances.
I'm always surprised how much I enjoy and am engaged by ballet—we're already planning to go back for The Nutcracker.
