I got my AMC A-List Membership and try to use it to the best of my ability. It's motivating me to really schedule my viewings around my fickle schedule. Oh, I can't go see OBSESSION cause I got to pick up that extra evening work shift? Okay, how about a morning PINOCCHIO UNSTRUNG?
Having a different beginners ballet instructor makes all the difference. My usual ones are already great, but a teacher switch-up brings me closer to techniques that evaded me. Why yes, hold my arms up where I can see them when sous-sus? Oh, hold my arms at the level of my heart? This clicks.
A ballot initiative that sought to direct 25 percent of Portland’s Clean Energy Fund toward hiring additional police officers failed to gather enough valid signatures to qualify for the November ballot.

Wait, I didn't know Texans could just wishlist like this. *clears throats* I think every newly built Texas house with a yard, or really, ANY Texas house with a yard should have subsidized rain barrels, rain barrel infrastructure, and incentivized rain barrel education.
Matt Zoller Seitz@mattzollerseitz.bsky.social · 3d agoWhen the Democrats take over the state government of Texas – which I sincerely believe they will – one of the priorities should be a massive effort to plant an incredible number of trees. They are good for the environment in so many ways, they provide shade to humans, and they are pretty.

I want to invest in re-learning music (not lyric or libretto writing), but my ADHD brain doesn't quite know where and how to (re)start. I can only read right-hand piano music but not the left.
I don't do well at indoor socials--and I mean, before and after the isolation era. I often exhaust my voice one minute into shouting my opinions over the noisy bar environment. I really can't breathe there. How am I suppose to have sustainable conversations?
Hey look, this NYPL has physical copies of ND Stevenson’s SHE-RA AND THE PRINCESSES OF POWER.
After this play concluded, I turned to my seatmate to say, “Pope Leo would NEVER.”
I’m asking @governor.ny.gov to sign the #SUNNYAct so New York neighbors can benefit from plug-in solar and lessen the strain on the Grid. It’s connected to the fight against AI data centers.
I turned to my seatmate and said, “Well, we don’t often see feminist revenge musicals with a high body count.” #GiuliaThePoisonQueen
Well, that's a gritty, immersive POV shot, Steven Spielberg. It's as if you're in the ring getting throttled and flung around. It's also as if this might be a metaphor for being in the skins of this REDACTED and humans perpetually battering you- Ohhhhhhhh. #DisclosureDay
I don’t have anyone to talk with over some of my #Tribeca favorites like HAPPY BIRTHDAY or ONE WOMAN ONE BRA.
Jason Bailey@jasondashbailey.com · 6d agoIn late 2022 I pitched and wrote a reported piece tied to an anniversary that they sat on for a month, missing the peg, and nobody read it. So I stopped pitching them. But Tribeca came around this year, and as any freelancer can tell you, no one outside of NYC will pay you to write about Tribeca.
I’ll be very honest. My ADHD brain can’t metabolize the whole “ok, so who actually counts as a “resident” of New York or another state?” And wait? I’m no driver nor car owner nor wish to be but you’re supposed to register your car to NYS?
I haven’t missed a night so far with my prescribed glaucoma-treating eyedrops. I’m impressed.
Prisciliano Trejo Ricano came to the U.S. at 3yrs old. ICE took him this June. He was 29. He told his family he didn't feel right but ICE wouldn't give him medical attention. After a month, ICE finally moved him to a hospital Prisciliano died five days later enlacelatinonc.org/en/Young-Mex...

I think I’m gonna like this A-List AMC subscription. If only I didn’t learn the hard way that it resets on Fridays, not Mondays nor weekday of subscription.
Emperor Cleon, Brother Dusk, is really spending his final days request in style before he must walk into the euthanasia chamber to make way for the birth of Dawn. #CatsJellicleBall www.instagram.com/reel/DbbhBrQ...
It’s very nice to see a JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLIAN star.
So the #RockyHorrorShow Broadway revival has extended. Do read my interview with Stephanie Hsu!
maximinalist@maximinalist.bsky.social · 2mo agoBefore the Tonys, I interviewed Stephanie Hsu on the #RockyHorrorShow revival. That's right. Over Zoom, the Oscar-Tony nominee talked to me about the upside of being a Rocky Horror Virgin, that line in LAID she pitched, and Sam Pinkleton's instructions on callouts. joysauce.com/stephanie-hs...
There was supposed to be a FALSETTOS in Houston, Texas. Then I noticed the profile vanish without warning. It got canceled.
Are you feeling down? Here, have a pic of Oscar Isaac playing the aulos.
What do you mean my AMC A-List (4 movies per week) resets every Friday? I thought a general week reset starts on Monday. I learned that the hard way when I first subscribed on a Tuesday.

I'm going to this PEP (NYC school board) meeting tonight with the @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social to testify in favor of an "A.i." moratorium for NYC schools - and YOU CAN TOO! www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2026...
