A popular meme image featuring a man sitting at a table outdoors. The man is casually holding a coffee mug and smiling, inviting debate. The sign has been edited to read: “Fantastic Four: First Steps is a Climate Change movie. CHANGE MY MIND.”

Whenever life is too busy, or stressful or anxiety filled, I reach for a @stephenking.bsky.social novel I haven’t yet read (there’s not many more left now…). Just finished Holly. Suitably horrible.
The cover of Stephen King’s novel Holly, which depicts a Victorian style house at sunset with the silhouette of someone upstairs and someone in the basement in an eerie composition.

I can’t thank everyone enough for coming to, beaming into, and participating in the Metamodern Theatre Symposium yesterday. It was such a pleasure to curate and hold a space for some brilliant theatre makers and scholars to explore how theatre is/can now be metamodern
