the real fun thing about this is that those “”nitro lids”” use more plastic to make than straws, so actually do more damage to the environment AND make it more difficult for ppl who need straws to drink 👍 just carry ur own flask instead of drinking from a goddam adult sippy cup

JKR: Voldemort is like a wizard Nazi and being a Nazi is bad
Also JKR: creates a race of large nosed, untrustworthy, greedy banking goblins who are second class citizens have coincidentally have the Star of David on their bank floor, then plays dumb about it when called out
MAKE THEATRE THAT’S FUCKING WEIRD
WE HAVE ENOUGH MONOLOGUES ABOUT SAD WHITE PEOPLE ON TRAIN PLATFORMS FEELING A BIT WEIRD
WE HAVE ENOUGH TRAGEDIES ABOUT STRAIGHT COUPLES REALISING THEY ARE DYSFUNCTIONAL
WE HAVE ENOUGH RELENTLESSLY NATURALISTIC DRAMAS ALL GUMS AND NO TEETH
@dogfightin
She’s literally fine. Not my cup of tea but fine, this just comes across as really mean to put some random girl doing standup on blast like this
@Zenzenzenzen12
@StevenWritesNow
Particularly uncomfortable when you remember that the plot of the upcoming Hogwarts game centres on the player sabotaging a Goblin rebellion against the discrimination they face from wizards………
@BigMouthAndrew
@LouisPeitzman
thanks for the apology, but even though you meant well the damage is already done. In the future, it would be great if your team included the people you're trying to represent in your writing more. I feel like this wouldn't have happened if more bi & pan people had been involved.
@Sorrelish
i don’t use TikTok but this reminds me of tumblr drama back in the day
I don’t get why so many people find it SO hard to understand that
enjoying a piece of art about a horrible person =/= endorsing that kind of behaviour
@Zenzenzenzen12
@StevenWritesNow
Anyway, anyone else surprised that the woman who wrote racist and antisemitic stereotypes, used r*pe as a punishment for a female character, and sabotaged her career by dedicating her life to harassing trans women online happens to be a bully? Who’d have seen it coming /s
@BigMouthAndrew
@LouisPeitzman
& also include more trans voices in your show so that the kind of generalisations made about gender and transitioning are handled more sensitively. It's great that you want to educate people on this stuff, but if LGBT+ aren't included in that process, then it defeats the point!
GET WEIRD
GET NIGHTMARISH
GET GROSS AND DISGUSTING AND BAD
MAKE STUFF THAT FEELS TOO FARFETCHED
MAKE STUFF THAT YOU CANNOT PICTURE HOW SOMEONE WOULD MAKE THAT HAPPEN ON A STAGE
MAKE STUFF THAT SOUNDS STUPID WHEN YOU TRY TO EXPLAIN IT
I PROMISE YOU WILL BE A BETTER WRITER FOR IT
@hansmollman
this is really nice actually bc it's so easy to feel like a failure as a writer/creative when you have to get a money job alongside it to make ends meet - thank u for saying this and making ppl in this position (like me) feel less rubbish about it x
dgmw I’m happy for them, but please stop misattributing lesbianism onto bi people. it’s bi erasure and it’s also a bit of a slap in the face to lesbians to say that the Peak Of Lesbian Culture™️ is being engaged to a man

Alastor is defo a tumblr sexyman, but the whitewashing is legit such a huge huge problem. I hope the show gives us a look at his canon human form so people no longer can pretend he’s white

@WarOnWant
You gotta remember that they’re on a London wage which is higher than the rest of the country because living costs in the capital are much higher. So £10 might be a living wage in the suburbs but not in central London (such as the stores shown protesting in the video)

I WROTE A GAY LITTLE PLAY ABOUT MUSHROOMS AND REINCARNATION AND THE WORLD ENDING, AND ITS ON FOR 3 WEEKS AT THE BLOODY KING'S HEAD?!
it hasnt felt real until now, i am going to throw up from excitement (and nerves, but mostly excitement)
IM GOING TO CRY
OK NOW WE CAN FINALLY TELL EVERYONE: the wonderful and extremely handsome
@DaveyCumming
has offered us 3 WHOLE WEEKS at
@KingsHeadThtr
for our debut scripted play 1000 WAYS THE WORLD WILL END (& HOW IT STARTS AGAIN)
a vicious, nasty little play I wrote about grief and sisterhood during lockdown has made it to the long list for the women’s prize for playwriting!!!! I didn’t expect this at all but I’m honoured that Little Sister has made it this far 😭😭
Today we are delighted to announce the 2021 longlist for the
#WomensPrizeforPlaywriting
. These 62 plays were selected by our reading team on the basis of their ambition, imagination, scope, and craft.
lil career update! starting in September, I will be participating in the BFI Network South East Screenwriter’s Lab!!
Super excited to learn how to write for screen, meet new collaborators and get to wear a different hat for a while 🔥🔥 Let’s goooooo
Just found out that a certain blog is charging companies £35 for reviews at Edinburgh Fringe?! I'm a press officer for a venue with a lot of student/young companies and have just received a screenshot from one of those companies emails asking me is this normal.
Absolutely VILE.

@theheadknight
Not seen Hereditrary but I think part of the love for Midsommar comes through the commentary on abusive relationships, and how vulnerable people are indoctrinated into white supremacist groups. I think a lot of people see themselves in Dani and that’s where the horror comes from
@dangerwithapen
@AerisFelidae
@heyMAKWA
I’m working on a play right now about teenage girls and a fictional cryptid with antlers - the Celtic god of wild things, Cernunnos, has been a huge inspiration! Never heard of the not-deer but I’m gonna have to research it now bc it sounds interesting!!
3 days into freelacin’ full time and it’s so weird that I can just?? do whatever I want??? I could have a bath at 4pm!! I could sit in a little coffee shop and tippy tap away on my articles!! I could go hide a body in the woods!! the possibilities are endless!!
@fiImgal
i saw that too and instantly wanted to slam my face against a wall
shia is already jack, but the problem is he isn't acting, he's just a violent man
To compare the word ‘Queer’ to the N-word is pretty fucking ignorant, and massively diminishes the hateful histories behind both words.
I can’t believe in 2023 we’re having to explain to ppl that racism and homophobia are not interchangeable struggles???
@torisprjngs
also low-key she looks a little bit like Billie Piper!!!! I v much see it!!!! If RTD were to say that she’s Rose regenerated, or Rose’s daughter, I’d believe it!!
I have completely failed to keep this on the DL but how could I not?? This is a HUGE step for us as a company to FINALLY be able to this show on after 3 years of pandemic, setbacks, nervous breakdowns and having none-money-with-left-beef
I'm going to go have a little cry now💖🎮
It's been super hard to keep this a secret for the last two months, but we're so excited to FINALLY share with you that Dogmouth's devising debut
#SlutsWithConsoles

…how? Henson openly supported gay performers within his staff and was a huge advocate for diversity and inclusion in his shows and the stories he chose to tell. Anyone who has done any research into Jim Henson’s personal politics can see that he would have no problem with this.
@SalsaPie
@mistertodd
ok but like, how is someone being disappointed that a space usually reserved for new and emerging artists being encroached upon by a megacorporation a bad thing?
look, somebody's gotta say it
I don't think Violet Beauregard and Augustus Gloop deserved to be lumped in with Verucca Salt and Mike Teevee as 'bad kids'. Chewing bubblegum and being fat are not crimes. Fuck u Roald Dahl xoxo

painfully real tbh. hope ur ok bro, intrusive thoughts are disorienting af and it’s so frustrating when ppl trivialise them online by misapplying psych terms to describe normal day to day impulses ♥️

spoilers: it’s gay x
why are there so many improv/comedy sketch troupes from University of Cambridge at fringe???
please, surely there can't be THAT much material you can squeeze out of having to adjust to not shopping at Ocado when your maintenance loan comes in!!!
just had my first meeting with my editor since sending over the first draft of my first full length original play, nd we were talking about the next steps - it’s going to workshop????? something /I/ wrote?? is going to workshop??? with real actors???? and a director???? wHAT????
one of the hardest decisions
@alice_robb
and I have ever had to make, but we think we made the right call ♥️ it’s sad, but we know in our hearts we made the right call

Sex should be like playing Mario Kart with friends:
• it should be fun
• you should choose a speed setting that gives everyone a fair chance
• if someone isn’t getting there quick enough, they can always use a bullet to help
• Wario is there
screaming, crying, throwing up etc.

It really is. There’s so much wrong with it - I think maybe some of it could be slated down to ignorance, but the fact it’s so consistent in her writing and she always tries to retroactively cover it up paints the picture of a very unpleasant person
I’m literally just a gay little guy writing my gay little plays - if a few fictional lesbians commit horrifically theatrical and gruesome crimes on stage because of things I wrote, that’s the stage manager’s problem, not mine xo
So the most adorable thing happened when I went to get coffee this morning
the barista, who has very pretty eyes, said she came to Howling At The Moon and really loved it 😭✨
“It made me realise I actually like standup comedy, I just don’t like it when men do it” lmfaoooo
figuring out how tf anyone manages to make a living in theatre AND not live at home AND maybe save a little without having to have a full time job on top of it. im going insane, fellas.
hear me out, what if instead they made a film about Shelley Duval being tormented by Kubrick on set of the shining??? I feel like that’s probably more interesting tbh
@sewerslidecombo
@Money__Doug
The response comes off so weirdly passive aggressive, even though she’s back-pedalling the whole time
“Oh I didn’t SAY my interpretation was the correct one” - but she did tho. girl be quiet
I give it 5 years before Netflix tries to sell us a gritty Scrooge origin story named ‘Ebenezer’ starring Timothee Chalamet or whoever the white boy of the month is in 2026
operation mincemeat is deserving of every single ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review, and more - completely blown away by the sheer brilliance and silliness of it, while still managing to be surprisingly emotional and profound
i haven’t had such a good time at the theatre in YEARS
@mincemeatlive
hello, yesterday I got diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, and I feel like I should tell people because it explains a lot (mostly why I am Like This™️ and I post the things I do)
Anyway, mental illness should not b stigmatised, it’s okay if you’re a bit nuts x
going forwards from this week, it’s reaffirmed how important it is to me to see and create theatre where every single person on that team views each other with genuine love, respect, and views the work as a collaborative process, rather than one person’s genius ✨
it’s my last day at my office job I’ve had for 3.5 years. except I accidentally told everyone I was leaving on the 30th JULY instead of June and I only realised this yesterday so nobody knows it’s my last day. Guess I’m just Irish goodbye-ing my way out of Employment™️

ok, in better news, Little Sister made it to round 2 of the same Big Playwriting Award and got v positive feedback, and also lots of v lovely ppl have offered 1000 Ways support for ACE resubmission/their comisserations so i feel slightly less shitty now xx
hot Polish lady is on a date with a finance bro next to me, she’s talking about La Traviata and he keeps interrupting her to complain about how ATG messed up his booking for Grease: Live
this sweet baby didn’t wake up this morning, we found her snoozing peacefully in her little house, dreaming about crossing the rainbow bridge ♥️🌈✨ I’ll miss you, little Pumpkin, hope you’re with your sister Peanut now
do u ever just suddenly get hit with how much you miss being in a rehearsal room?? I swear next time I actually get to devise some fuckin theatre I’m gonna be bouncing off the walls
Thinking about it and honestly I think my worst moment of 2021 was being in the middle of a zoom call and having to explain what hentai was to respected theatremaker Chris Thorpe
