My voter’s invite to another production got canceled due to a water burst. So I decided to see if New York City Center might allow me to make an Access 28 discount purchase in person. And now I’m here to try a #musical I’ve never seen or heard before. #HighSpirits

WHEW, I finished the book.

This sure was a #WutheringHeights passage I wasn’t aware of until I read it.

SPOILERS

It’s when Linton Heathcliff frees Cathy from her prison. After that, he begs to sleep with Hareton.

I think even bad plays deserve public proshots.

A publicly available proshot of live theatre is always great news! #StrangerThings

Fun fact: I still have the Broadway press script.

Veto-proof majorities passed Medicaid expansion in the Mississippi Legislature in 2024.

But they gridlocked as the Senate demanded work requirements—which Senate leaders said they'd be able to get when Trump returned.

Now, they say Medicaid expansion is dead thanks to Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."
Medicaid Expansion Dead in Mississippi Due to Trump Cuts, Top Republican Says
Mississippi won’t expand Medicaid this year because of federal Medicaid funding cuts under Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

The Endoscopy Center emailed me a survey link regarding a colonoscopy experience.

Since they were soliciting my feedback directly from me, boy did I use the comment space to talk about the lack of staff masking mandates and flicking on the air filter manually in the waiting room.

Post-#TheMuppetShow, we need to talk more about classic SESAME STREET.

They did Ingmar Bergman's SEVENTH SEAL, with Telly and Oscar standing in for Siskel & Ebert. Now there's a cute sketch that also happens to teach you to count to 7.

I'm on Volume 2 of #WutheringHeights and I already know the outcomes in the book, and I think adaptations that don't go into Vol 2 territory miss out on interesting stuff. Linton Heathcliff could be an interesting conduit for a disabled BIPOC performer.

Do a blood test for your antibodies titers to see if you got antibody protections from pro-lifers or if you need to start/redo your vaccines.

Since I first watched the 1992 film adaptation with Ralph Fiennes, it surprises me that most #WutheringHeights movies don't bother adapting the second generation.

It was very weird. Before I decided to say, "My father died of cancer," it was like she was trying to advise that hypothetical sick loved one to “just be positive.”

And a non-masker saying that to a masker (even if I'm not sick) has implications, whether or not she intended it.

She got occupied with the other check-out area before me. When I exited the store, I waited till she emerged outside the store.

And I shouted at her, “NEXT TIME DON’T BE SO INVASIVE!" And that's the last word I gave her,

I just took a med. My brain goes, "Oh, she's that kind of stranger."

So my mouth responds, "My dad was abusive."

Astonished, she let out a laugh. "Girl, forgive him! You don't want to know my story!"

As I made my way to check-out, I hollered at her, "YOU'RE SO INVASIVE" aloud in the store.
