Blown away by the preview performance of The Seagull I saw last night at @lyceumedinburgh.bsky.social - funny, bitter, beautiful, and true, with performances that won't leave my heart for a while. Get yourself to Edinburgh in the next couple months, I think this Chekhov fellow is going places!

My dope friend Adrian, who is trans, interviewed 90 transgender Texans. His project is finally out: www.dallasnews.com/news/politic...

We surveyed 90 trans Texans. Most said they’re living in fear and weighing a move

Respondents said anti-trans policies have complicated their sense of home in Texas and pushed them to consider leaving the state.

Michael D Higgins on Palestine recognition: 'We might well ask where stands this commitment now if a flotilla involving more than 40 boats and more than 500 people from the international community seeking to bring humanitarian aid...is being prevented from achieving that humanitarian objective.'

Where to begin with OBAA. There is so, so much love and hope in a film about the doomed cycle of standing up to imperialist powers, and about the regrettable inevitabilities of violence alongside the sincere belief these times will not and cannot prevail. Community can't be broken so easily.
