There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.
It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

I think we need to extend the genre of stories that is about anthropomorphic animals or mystical little guys living in the walls of regular ass apartments to adult media.

I fully understand why many playwrights prefer in-person development opportunities. I do too, which is why I work to create them for myself & other playwrights in my rural area. But if you're running a dev program in a city & you let playwrights work with you remotely in 2020 but phased it out...

Canada has a VERY TEMPORARY legal situation allowing anyone with provable CA ancestry to claim Canadian citizenship w/ no generational limit. It may be overruled, but it’s real now. Colin and I both have French Québécois ancestors so you bet yer ass that I’m doing a LOT of rush document requests now

Mahmoud Khalil is free. May his release lead to the release of all who are detained and incarcerated from the US to Palestine, in ICE facilities and in prisons. And may his courage inspire us to remain steadfast in fighting for Palestinian liberation.

A PSA for anyone who needs to hear it: if someone mutes you on social media b/c of an exchange you had, please don't find their mailing address and mail them a letter, even if you feel you've been misunderstood. It's creepy and invasive. (I shouldn't have to explain why this is a hard & fast rule!)

when a trans person gently reminds you of their pronouns & you respond by jokingly suggesting they might do violence to you if you mess up again that's probably more information about your internal biases about trans people than they wanted to be made aware of

“Writer and podcast host”, just say “basically unemployed but I own a suit”. Be honest, both with yourself and with society.
