What if “The show must go on” really meant, “The show must go on, so sometimes the show will look different due to the needs of the cast and audience and that is the point of live theatre” and not that we have to sacrifice people’s health and needs for the sake of the show? #TheatreSky

In this horrible capitalist eugenics racist society I’m manifesting a community where we can support and lift each other up, using our strengths to embrace each others weaknesses. Humanity has not survived because they are fittest, they survived by banding together and becoming community

Masking discourse is on again and I’ll just say if you see people masking when few others are it’s likely because they’ve determined that for them, in that setting, the benefit of not catching (or spreading) whatever’s going around is worth the cost of masking. It’s rarely more complicated than that

Flying for the first time since the new admin. I’m wearing a mask, which should be everyone, but instead I have never felt more unsafe/uncomfortable. I feel like people are intentionally getting close to me and I’m sick of seeing people roll their eyes or whisper to each other.

Man takes offence to my stating we’re still IN a pandemic. Says it’s silly to take precautions.
Then admits his wife has Long Covid and he’s had it “at least 4-5 times”.
This is why we’re in this mess. The denial and cognitive dissonance is literally killing & disabling people

If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask.
If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask.
If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask.
If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask.

We’re Witnessing the Fall of Public Health… and Your Best Tool is a Mask
Measles in Texas, bird flu in Louisiana, tuberculosis in Kansas and Covid everywhere. Public health has been dying a slow death for years, we can’t count on it anymore. What can we count on? A mask!

Every day when we get up we have a choice.
We can choose to be tolerant, compassionate, inclusive members of the resistance. We can commit to standing up for all marginalized people in any way we can.
Or we can choose lies, bigotry and division.
Make the right choice. Stand up. Fight back.

Women in theatre scorned… I’m curious, how many were labeled “hard to work with” for standing up to injustice/sexism in the theatre community they were a part of… while men in those same communities were praised despite being the ones perpetuating the injustice… #theatresky

One of the easiest, most visible ways to resist is to mask
Safeguarding your health is more important than ever. It’s easier to fight back when you’re not chronically ill
It shows you care about disabled & marginalized individuals
It tells government you won’t be complicit in the harm of others

People need theatre, it builds empathy in such a unique way. I love digital media and movies but it doesn’t connect with you like being guided through the depths of human emotion surrounded by other humans

When I hear Trump say “merit based”… I fear for the disability community.
“people with disabilities, co-morbids, the elderly and infirm deserve to live too. Read that again if you have to because I want this message to sink in.
No one is expendable. We all have value”

How Did We Get Here and What Comes Next?
Disabled people have been warning others for nearly 5 years that eugenicist Covid policies would lead to a rise of fascist, racist, bigoted, misogynistic hatred. It's here now. So what’s next?
