so when did big productions of classic plays start doing huge over-the-top drag-like costume changes for bows? saw it in National Theatre's The Importance of Being Earnest and its also in the new Twelfth Night

dont get me wrong, I like it! but its an interesting trend

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

very kind of hermitcraft to start their 11th season while i'm in recovery from surgery so i have a ton of pleasant new videos to watch while confined to my bed
November 12, 2025 at 5:24 PM
my activities while staving off recovery stir-craziness: finishing my reread of The Fifth Season, watching roughly two movies every day (morning watched alone and evening with someone else), completing a bookstore diorama, finished reading two graphic novels, starting to knit a new pair of socks
i knew this ahead of time but its really hitting me "staying in bed so the surgical site can heal" is going to be the most difficult part. i need to put my full focus into not getting bored
