Attended a queer bird walk slash queer history tour of a park this morning and was apparently hit on and did not notice. I'm southern. I talk to someone if they talk to me. Unless someone says "wanna bone," I will not know it's anything other than talking to make everyone less uncomfortable

Playwrights Horizons is putting out a male season of theater next year, so that's exciting and new.
I'm just saying, my show That'swhatshesaid exploring this exact problem in theater isn't even a decade old.

Literally can't make sense of why this post was flagged by Instagram. It's from three years ago. My best, and most uncharitable, read is that Abdoh is Iranian, so now this post is bad?

I'm in that phase of singledom where I'm wondering if I'll ever have a meaningful kiss again... According to every romcom, this is when the truly meaningful banging, I mean kissing, begins

Men’s rights activists on Twitter took a screenshot of this and are now screaming that I am a witch.
I’ll never get over how, in an era when women’s rights and status are being attacked and eroded in law and culture alike, we were incessantly told that it was boys and men whose suffering we needed to attend to.

Let’s be clear about what’s happening here: The President is using the power of his office to enrich himself and his family, offering “meme coins” and other shady crypto ventures to rake in billions in exchange for political favors.
But kids shouldn’t have more than five pencils? Seriously?

My music taste refuses to update from high school so I spent the morning to singing along to Ben Folds Five's album Whatever & Ever Amen. Still banging.

I am now working four jobs. That's too many jobs. It's getting in the way of doing things. But it's also how I afford novelties like eating and paying rent. I would really appreciate a patron if anyone's loaded
