The Game of Thrones finale made more sense than this (and that didn’t make any fucking sense)

Screaming Butterflies Theatre is hosting an additional round of Preliminary Auditions for their West Coast Premiere production of The Prince by Abigail Thorn! We are seeking a diverse cast of talented actors of all backgrounds ages 20 to 60+. Artists who identify as Black, Indigenous, from communities of color, Trans, and Genderfluid are strongly encouraged to audition. This work contains three explicitly trans female principle characters as well as supporting characters that may be played by talent of any gender. Trans and nonbinary talent may audition for any role they feel comfortable portraying. (character breakdowns are shown on the second slide) Interested Talent is asked to prepare two (2) 60-second Shakespearean monologues: 1-Comedic, 1-Dramatic. You may also be asked to cold read from the script. You do not need to schedule an audition time in advance, but it is preferred. To book your audition date and time please email headshot, resume, and requested date/time slot to "theprince.tacoma@gmail.com".

--- SYNOPSIS --- "Have you ever been trapped in a bad relationship, playing a role that doesn't suit you? Jen and Sam are also trapped … in a multiverse of Shakespeare's complete works. On their quest to discover the doorway back to reality they notice something unusual about Henry 'Hotspur' Percy. Now Jen and Sam must decide; do they risk losing their way home to help someone who might be like them – someone who does not yet know who she truly is?" --- CASTING --- • HOTSPUR - A trans woman so deep in the closet she doesn't even know it yet. The eldest child of the Earl of Northumberland and a renowned fighter. Hot-tempered, dealing with a lot of internalized misogyny and unspoken pain, has a deeply buried sweet side. • SAM - A trans woman from the modern day. Highly strung, nervous, motherly. • JEN - A baby tran from the modern day. Curious, open-hearted, compassionate. • NORTHUMBERLAND/KING HENRY IV - A mighty warrior in his day, now reaching his twilight years and looking to secure his legacy. Loving and proud. Doubles with King Henry IV: an old lion backed into a corner. Wrathful. Quick to anger, not a great listener. • PRINCE HAL - A gay man out to himself - it's an open secret to everyone else. The son of King Henry IV and heir to the throne. Compassionate and clever, not a fighter. • LADY KATE - A woman ahead of her time. Hotspur's wife. Intelligent, determined, sexually confident. • WORCESTER - A powerful noble in his own right. The younger brother of Northumberland and uncle to Hotspur. Wise, level-headed, practical. • DOUGLAS - Warlord leader of the Scottish rebels. Macho and loving it. A bit of a meathead, but charming and witty when he wants to be. All Rehearsals and Performances will take place in Tacoma, WA. Rehearsals are expected to begin June 30th and will typically run Sun-Thurs. Performance dates are Thursdays thru Sundays beginning September 10th, closing September 27th.

OMG DAT FACE 😍

At a park in Vegas, a random, friendly, Albertan lectured us on capitalism & American greed. Wife & I loved it; my annoyed conservative in-laws quietly seethed. I’m atheist, but today the universe sent a Canadian angel in flip-flops 😂 I thank my patron saint @emandras.bsky.social 😂 #Earpers

“The Vatican and Pentagon have major beef” was so far off of my 2026 bingo card that I’ve just chucked it entirely and started over.

i do not watch The Pitt because medical procedurals are extremely not my jam, but i have been consistently pleasantly surprised by how political Daredevil Born Again has been

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide.

Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session.

Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

TACO!!! Thank goodness!!!

Um, no. Trump and American Fascism is the cancer, actually. And we here at home need to cut it out and FAST.

Desperately hoping for a TACO today.

Monty Python's Flying Circus

It's definitely not the funniest tweet ever outside of the fandom.... and no one realized it was the funniest tweet ever when it was posted.... but it certainly came around to be the funniest tweet ever when we all realized! 😂

#Earpers will understand that this is the only correct answer to this question.

...SIGH. Ok, as others have pointed out: Anne is her middle name and she has used it as a pseud before. What hasn't been mentioned is that the Ann Summers everyone is snickering about the pseud referencing is a different spelling. No 'e'. That is all.

Happy 10th Anniversary, Earpers!! Here's the greatest fandom, not by size, but by heart. Keep circulating the tapes, keep writing the fics and keep loving our shit show!! #WynonnaEarp #Earpers

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

On this #TransDayofVisibility I proudly stand with my fellow nonbinary and trans siblings. I don't have anything fancy to say. Just don't support people who would hurt us and devalue us.

Yep.

Yes, if you’re wondering, this is Didsbury. Apparently they like Earp money, but not Earp (queer/trans) people. #WynonnaEarp

TLOU S3 what the heck are you doing casting a cis actor in a trans role!?! Esp. when the original trans voice actor WAS AVAILABLE and still could be passable as a teen/young-adult. And even if you didn't cast them, there are PLENTY of young trans talent out there you could have turned to! So pissed.

This is great and all but... how is this going to be enforced exactly? Who is going to to enforce this against ICE agents who have already said they will ignore the law here. Like... do we actually expect local LOA's to... what... ticket LOE's?

Eff yeah, Afroman won!

this man is a hero and a gentleman

the lawyer is so outclassed he can’t even find the hole to dig himself out of

10 Years Ago, This Western Sci-Fi Series Quietly Became SYFY’s Biggest Cult Hit Since Battlestar Galactica Wynonna Earp pushed the Earp legacy in a new direction, with plenty of supernatural and gunslinging action for fans of both westerns and sci-fi.

What a ride....so far! Always be Earpin #WynonnaEarp #E4L
