30 years “Without You” 🧵
Today is the 30th anniversary of Jonathan Larson’s tragic death. It’s also of course eve of the 30th anniversary of the first preview of his first ever fully produced musical, one that would go on to “wake up a generation” of lovers, dreamers and me.

Dear Ariana fans, this is a TERRIBLE musical and the writer is v v problematic and you should absolutely NOT buy tickets and if you accidentally do I will take them off you to save you from ridicule.
Ariana Grande & Jonathan Bailey confirm they have been cast in a stage revival of ‘Sunday in the Park with George.’

Here’s a 🧵 to toast those making the
world a little bit lighter right now.
It’s all a bit heavy, right now, isn't it?
relentless. unfathomable. anger. grief. worry and then... numb. Hard not to get caught in a slipstream of darkness, an abyss of doom.

Went to cinema this week and the screen had a broken sound system but they just ran the film and expected viewers to be ok with it. This really hurts cinema. If theaters are to survive, they need to ensure the movie-viewing experience is better than people have access to at home.

Listening to radio debate with Julie Bindel and a trans man, Shay.
Shay has just had his human rights reduced and he spoke with decorum, grace and compassion. Julie Bindel ranted and described being “angry” despite winning this court case.
Angry bigots will always be that.
