Been up all night booking more Fringe tickets. Going to see 2 different versions of Antigone and both parts of I, Claudius. That's like, 5 hours of I, Claudius. That's a lot of Julio-Claudians! #Fringe

Dead serious about crushing the Capitalist Patriarchy. Likes to embroider The Thick of It quotes. I listen to David Bowie instead of eating my feelings. Renegade.

Can't get over Glen Hansard being dead. Or that @watsoncomedian.bsky.social was the one that told me about it.
Thoughts and good wishes for @djmuel.bsky.social as their cat, a legend of the Twitch stream, is very ill. They also happen to be one of the best UK leftist streamers on Twitch. Go check them out www.twitch.tv/djmuel for geopolitics from a communist/lefty perspective. Can't big them up enough.

Emily Wilson - y favourite translator of The Odyssey - hates Nolan's film. I agree with some of her critique bt I guess I just loved it because it was #TheOdyssey.

Christopher Nolan said he's only seen the crew applaud an actor on set twice in his career. This first was Heath Ledger as the Joker, the second was Samantha Morton as Circe in THE ODYSSEY.
Was trained by Arthur Darvill for my LAMDA grades. 10 years later bumped into him at a rave and spent the night waltzing round the dance floor with him to Drum and Bass
Gail Simone@gailsimone.bsky.social · 2w agoOkay, my QUESTION OF THE DAY is… What is your weirdest actual accomplishment? Not the biggest necessarily…but the weirdest?
Found some wise advice my library copy of The Silmarillion.

Why didn't the eagles just fly Odysseus straight to Ithaca
www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... I'll tell you now - it's both. That's the point.
‘Pam the Bird’ has become a divisive fixture on Melbourne landmarks – but is it art or vandalism?
The ‘distinct cartoon bird’, allegedly drawn by 22-year-old Jack Gibson-Burrell, is controversial even among those in the city’s world-renowned graffiti scene

I base my opinion on versions of #TheOdyssey on how they translate the opening lines. Emily Wilson has got it.

I would give anything to experience the pure thrill of a Scholastic Book Fair just one more time.
Inhaling this book at the moment. The imagined birth and origin story of Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' predicting witch, and Caliban's mother, Sycorax. A feminist take on her life seen through the prism of chronic illness and witchcraft. Superb. #booksky
Watched #TheOdyssey! Oof I have a lot of feelings, Acting and casting was all brilliant, non-linear time flow was perfect for the poem, and there was surprise Elliot Page!

#grief the ex is bringing down tiny human out of school to spend time with Dad (and Mom) while cognisant (though 14 is definitely not tiny…) and in not sure how to navigate this. Clinically yes. Emotionally, nope.
