Our seder plate includes an orange, which represents all sexualities and genders.
A table set for passover. Everything is dark blue and white. A seder plate is in the middle, with divots featuring the ceremonial seder items: green herb, bitter herb, charoset, and lamb shank bone, as well as an orange. The three placemats at the table have a design featuring the seder plate. And knives and forks for each. At the top of the table there is a purple glass candlestick with a candle, and two bottles of wine.

Here's me singing part of a parody of Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar, except I'm John McClaine, having thrown myself on a C(4)rucifix as part of a high concept Easter Play. For more high-concept low-concept entertainment come to @clubwormhole.bsky.social !

for context, Bonnie is my sister's cat. WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT THE PUB YESTERDAY.
Whatsapp message from 'mum': Mike, if you have the right bits of equipment in your garage, I think we could build a stasis chamber for Bonnie. We'll need some 4x7 planks of wood, some half inch dowelling and a particle accelerator - would you have those do you think? Second message: We were chatting about this in the pub yesterday Laurie

A whatsapp conversation from the poster's perspective. 00:07 salad made 00:08 thats almost the name of a play Followed by an image of the poster for: The Royal Shakespeare Company presents Peter Brook's motion picture version of the original broadway stage production: Marat Sade The persecution and assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as peformed by the inmates of the asylum of Charenton under the direction of The Marquis De Sade by Peter Weiss. The poster image depicts a group of people, various ages and genders, in various states of dress and undress in regency-era blouses, some with clown makeup. In the center, a woman raises a dagger above her head, looking up at it, the position of her raised arm obscuring her face.

Auditions for 'The Prince', at Lace Market Theatre, 15th and 17th April. This is a callout inviting anyone interested in performing arts to consider auditioning for 'The Prince', a 2022 play by Abigail Thorn.  The story is about two trans women who get trapped in a Shakespeare play, and while they are trying to escape, they discover that one of Shakespeare's characters is also like them, but she hasn't realised it yet... and she's kind of in the middle of a civil war right now! 'The Prince' is a fun and challenging project with drama, comedy, swordfighting, and a cast of wonderful characters.  There are 8 parts to audition for. There are 3 parts written for trans women/transfeminine people, and 5 parts for anyone who fits the character descriptions, 1 female and 4 male. The ages of the characters range between 18-60.

Saturday reading for today. This play is fucking awesome and I hope I get to see it some day.
A script for Slave Play by Jeremy O. Harris. The cover is peach-coloured with an image of a cantaloupe with a narrow wedge cut out of it on the cover, so that it suggests the figure of a vulva.

so what you're saying is Birmingham has installed a mince pie glory hole?
Caption reads "a magical 'mince pie window' offering free pies and tea has popped up in Birmingham - here's how to get yours!" Below caption are images of a hole in a brick wall, surrounded by festively decorated trees and lights. One image shows a hand with a mince pie reaching out. One image shows a couple taking the mince pie.
