Went to the Drama Book Shop for one play and a free book. They’d run out of the free books, and so … I bought eleven? (This, after I was proud to put a yard or so of plays lying around the house back on my shelves this week). Whatever. Joy! #smallbusiness #gobuyaplay
Plays bought from The Drama Book Shop scattered on a chair: Life of Pi, Red Velvet, and HAMNET by Lolita Chakrabarti; The Greek Trilogy of Luis Alfaro; Marjorie Prime by Jordan Harrison; Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac adapted by Martin Crimp; Emilia by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm; Duncan MacMillan Plays One; Brian Friel’s adaptation of Uncle Vanya; Anna Christie by Eugene O’Neill; and the great Tom Stoppard’s Dogg’s Hamlet, Cahoot’s Macbeth.

#NoKings
#NoKingsNYC
NYC sidewalk, heading into the #NoKings march, a woman in a teal blousy dress, yellow sash, and black corset, red-white-and-blue wig, American flag bandana on her face, topped with a tricorne hat with a yellow feather seems to sit astride an inflatable horse who’s wearing an American flag tutu around his neck. (His name is Bill. Bill o’Rights.) Her left hand is on her hip, and her right hand holds a handmade sign with multi colored glitter letters that reads ‘Hey, Congress! (esp GOP chickens). We want YOU to preserve, protect, & defend the Constitution!’

#Caturday in Andor
#WoTSkies
A black kitty is curled up on a person’s legs while person reclines in a living room chair. The person’s legs are covered with a fuzzy blanket of the Map from Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time books. Looks like kitty’s in Andor (and a little Saldea/ Caralain Grass) wisely sitting on Four Kings and most of Whitebridge, just a bit northwest of Caemlyn.

Y’all: let’s flood the Senate with demands that your senators reject Russell Vought. He would have immense power to enforce Trump’s extremist agenda if he's confirmed as OMB director. Vought has made it clear he will not hesitate to violate laws and norms in service of MAGA. app.sosha.ai/s/Lp98rhLW
Black and white photo of Russell Vought, a bald white man with glasses and short beard in a jacket and tie, nominee for director of OMB. Text in photo reads “The architect of Project 2025 is Trump’s pick to enforce his extremist MAGA agenda. Tell your senators to oppose Russell Vought’s nomination to lead OMB” Image and links from INDIVISIBLE.

Saw this remarkable, riveting new musical WE ARE YOUR ROBOTS. Recommending! My favorite kind of show: a delightful, thoughtful, excellent good time you’ll buzz about and carry into convos. What do you want from your robots? Info & tix: tfana.org/events/we-ar...
