My community theatre sold out all four shows we did, in our fiftieth anniversary year. 21 actors, 4 costume crew (absolutely heroic), 1 sound person, 2 lighting people, 1 stage manager (me!), 1 director, 2 co-directors (also me), 2 people organizing tickets, 4 set builders, a dozen front-of-house.

TBH, I find it depressing that Canada has never elected a woman prime minister in a general election.
(The only woman to be PM of Canada was selected by her party to take over after a different PM stepped down. She contested one election and suffered the worst electoral loss in Canadian history.)

Older nibling, who (like me) demonstrates love by spouting interesting facts at people*, is getting a book full of interesting facts about sharks. :D

Dear internet: when I sort the books by age group and select the "under three" option, it is weird that you are giving me Joanna Spyri's "Heidi."
Good book, and my youngest nibling is a smart cookie for a one-year-old, but she's more into books with interesting textures.

Opening night of my community theatre production of The Full Monty was tonight. I tell you - if you want the best of humanity, it's a bunch of people pulling together to make art happen. Old hands, complete newbies, everyone doing their best to tell a good story.
Makes me so happy.

On top of that - one of my previous employers does a lot of supporting nonprofits. They do not give a damn about the nonprofits. They do it because it's really good advertising and makes people well-disposed to The Company.
But the non-profits get supported regardless of the motive.

Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.
It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.
And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd

We seem to be in a bit of a golden era of puzzle games at the moment. I can strongly recommend STRANGE ANTIQUITIES and its predecessor STRANGE HORTICULTURE which combine cozy shopkeeping with detective work.

Legal stuff aside, I love this poem. Chicago is my favourite US city to visit - it's wonderful.
Ellis begins by quoting from Carl Sandburg's "Chicago": www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...
Chicago
Laughing the stormy, husky, brawling laughter of Youth, half-naked, sweating, proud to be Hog Butcher, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and Freight Handler to the Nation.

Trying desperately to get my mother to understand the difference between "important" and "urgent".
As in, "we need a picture of this thing for some paperwork" is important! But it is also not "CALL ME AS SOON AS YOU CAN" urgent.

BREAKING: Democrats just broke the GOP supermajority in the Mississippi Senate!
In a stunning victory, Democrats gained seats in court-ordered special elections and will now head to Jackson to represent and fight on behalf of their constituents.
