Make that 3!
I feel these producers/directors are coming to someone who never auditions, coz more trained actors may be dropping out of no-pay/low-pay gigs (which is the bulk of new theatre). The state is live preformance is bleak!

Just had to turn down a second theatre audition from people who know me well, and approached me with, "We have this character you'd play very well, and we want you to audition for it," coz I can't commit in terms of time and money.

I'm crafting a new act about how the Nativity of Jesus is the story of every child born during a time and place of conflict; I haven't gotten far, coz I keep listening to the music, and crying.

I've gotten SO MANY beautiful targeted ads from fast fashion lines. Took a chance on something—too large, subpar material, and needed alterations.
Now, I'm looking for winter clothes on Uniqlo, coz I know theirs work, but I don't like how things look.

I learned about the Miss Major Memorial from the JVP email chain; I love seeing liberation efforts intersect!

Birds against humanity!
My beloved middle child Oliver helps me to fill in a Make Your Own Effin' Bird page in my 2026 calendar. Get yours at your local bookstore, or check out some online options at eatf.art

I spent a summer in (around) Austin TX, and had a great time—largely coz it became a spiritual retreat hanging out with some local pagans. The fact that ATX has become synonymous with "conservative comedy" is really disappointing. It's actually home to the International Drag Fest.

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

My show is gonna be so good, and I'm so happy it's coming together nicely. There still are several tasks to complete, but I am surprisingly not overwhelmed or exhausted. Everything is in the hands of people I trust. I'm working hard, but not too much.

It's finally show week, and I've been reflecting on how drag and my drag have changed.

Thanks for letting me know, but that's not lipstick on my teeth. I just haven't had a dental cleaning for plaque in 2-3 years.

It'd be really fun to call my parents in the middle of my show, but I just fought with my mom again yesterday. 😮💨

The new Jurassic movie SUCKS! We just got to the island, and we're already halfway through three movie—and they're still talking, as they walk through the jungle.

I always want titles or sign-language at shows for accessibility, but often when I'm singing in non-English languages, I want my audience to indulge themselves in feelings through sound and movement, and not investigate meaning through words and translation.

People wouldn't buy this BS anymore coz,
if you actually lived here, you'd know:
(1) We've been trying to get horses off the streets.
(2) Hot Girls for Zohran.
(3) Way too many S Asian officers in NYPD.
(4) More halal carts than any type of street vendors
Fascists can't build coalitions.
