this one just makes me cry.

getting to tell this story, a story inherently of queer identity, survival, becoming, struggle, power, love, beauty & joy has been the greatest privilege of my career so far.

@maijaihibberd.bsky.social - I will love our girls in heart, in soul, in body, for life.

Damsels In Dicestress @damselsdnd.bsky.social · Jul 7

Finally, to win Outstanding Depiction of LGBTQ themes has us STAGGERED. Ours is a story inherently about queer identity, becoming, rage & joy, the universal fights and wins in 1820, and before, and beyond. This one means the whole, whole world.

We are actors: performance is our lifeblood, but we never expected to learn so much from the unique demands of AP. This story is deeply woven from our connection as an ensemble.
