A few weeks ago in NYC was fortunate to see Gypsy, Dakar 2000 & Oh, Mary. The performances of all women leads were wonderful. Audra McDonald my goodness simply rules.
It was a glorious escape from reality. Which is. No words.

So much that’s disturbing about this & made all the worse by confusion about where to direct our outrage. Confusion is a cowardly strategy.
The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

A privilege and an honor to hear Nikole Hannah-Jones of the 1619 Project speak last night at my university. Profound insight into our dark present. Many quotable moments.

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.
