The research that @bfletcherwatson.bsky.social did to figure out what really happened in this Stoppard quote is a stage design historian's dream. There is a map! Several firsthand accounts!

(an absolute joy to read, thank you)
Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

alarm just went off, 7.41pm.

i could have sworn that last week or so it went off at like 8pm. is it ... going backwards a few minutes every day? why?!
there is someone in this apartment complex who has some kind of alarm go off every day at 7.50pm or thereabouts

just like a ringing school bell kind of alarm.

anyway i hate this person and eventually i will be not-tired enough one day to go and Have Words With Them.

I've been a fan since year 12 English, where we did Hamlet and Rosencrantz, and in English Extension we did The Real Inspector Hound, and I fell in love. I saw RAGAD at the Sydney Theatre Co in 2013, and Arcadia also by STC in 2016, without spoilers so i went in blind!
RIP to Tom Stoppard, who was a generational talent whose work never missed saying something incredibly important about the human condition.

“Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

@ithadtobewho.bsky.social i was inspired by your turkey salad recipe post the other day, and it's hotter than the surface of the sun here, so i made it with a rotisserie chicken and i am cured of my agonies

also used my mandoline on the cabbage and onion, it was delightful, fuck chopping!

Hey. Did anyone here attend the International Star Trek Convention in Washington, DC, January 1-4, 1976, or know one of its organizers?
An editor at the excellent @fanlore.org site is looking for info on the con.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

The only thing differentiating this poor man from my mother's and her siblings' is chance and luck. Very similar backgrounds. My mother and her siblings gained Canadian citizenship in the 1970s. Before that they were stateless as Mr Bojerski is.

We have the MLAK key in Australia. It also unlocks wheelchair swings, water chairs, and adult change bathrooms. It's free in SA and VIC, and a lot of councils issue them free.

Many thoughts about my cyborg bitch boss goddess accomplice Alice Wong & all the things she meant but there is a tendency for white disabled people to overshadow conversations about disabled BIPOC including in death. I choose to let Alice speak for herself & uplift those she wanted to represent her.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

This is devastating. Alice was such a brilliant, creative, and thoughtful writer, journalist, and advocate. I last saw her in 2020 at a small conference at Smith College; a light has gone out, but I know she took pleasure in getting us all to shine ours with pride.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

I'm horrified. I learned a lot from Alice's work and I had a great respect for her.
