He really will, you can switch Scorsese’s name out for any prestigious filmmaker and it’s still true

I bet if Martin Scorsese called him tomorrow and said “Hey Adam I want to film seventeen hours of you reading the phone book while standing in a huge tub of applesauce wearing a clown wig” AD would be like “I can be on set tomorrow, what’s my call time”

“They are using our work to minimize the harm of conversion therapy. There are few practices where there is as much demonstrated evidence of harm” -Lisa Diamond, renowned psychology + gender studies scholar, whose work ADF cited to promote conversion practices. “The misinterpretation is so profound"

it would be so easy for all of you who put money where your mouth is over kimmel to do the right thing for trans lives. trans expression is also freedom of speech. attacks on us are attacks on you too

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

It is the greatest of misfortunes the world has ever known that Beckett did not live to see this review. He’d have been delighted beyond words.

Lux Alptraum @luxalptraum.com · 17h

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.

the tallest stone @talleststone.bsky.social · 1d

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

I cannot afford to:

* Lose the “burst of mental clarity”

* Wander around in brain fog

* Be asked by friends and family if I even TOOK my meds today?!?!

* Feel like it is only 25% effective

* Go back to being plagued by anxiety & obsessed with junk food
