I knew sections of What the Constitution Means to Me would hit harder last night than they did during last week's previews but the recitation of the 14th amendment received an applause break. If you're in DC/MD, I hope you'll see our production at Round House.

watching season two of Traitors Australia and 1) this is the dumbest group of Faithfuls in *any* version of the series and 2) it's forever hilarious to me that they all dress like Ben Stiller & sons in Royal Tenenbaums during challenges

this is peak TERF cruelty and it's an attack on DC autonomy. Residents do not want this, but Republicans *we did not vote for* love meddling in local affairs & want to use DC as a testing ground for their sicko transphobic vision board. I hate these ghouls with the fire of a thousand suns
