A close-up of a season announcement graphic, showing the word OHIO! against a backdrop of cement blocks, by Monica Byrne, season 54, with the symbol of the station theater in the corner.

The whole season announcement, which also includes the plays Harry and the Thief by Sigrid Gilmer, and White by James iJames.

I’m so freaking happy to announce that my antifascist play OHIO! will finally have a U.S. premiere! AAAAAA!

Check out the season announcement. And if you’re anywhere near Urbana, mark your calendars for August 2027!

People on here rightly are pissed by the way Democratic politicians post as if they are witnesses to what's happening instead of ACTORS in what's happening. It's absolutely pathetic and weak.

Unbelievable…

Sir, Happy Birthday, Sir!

Thanks! We will still be in Apex, just moving to the other side of the neighborhood. Probably not even a mile between the two locations. Somehow I’m still completely exhausted! 😊

Moving day…

Happy Opening Day to all who celebrate!!

Hope springs eternal…

A bigoted, racist, xenophobic, pedophile, low IQ, feeble, shallow, bitter, shell of a human being…

We continue to live in the stupidest of timelines...

As it seems they always do.

Shipwreck on Zombie Road Vindication means nothing without justice.

"They are zombies. They eat pain and spit it out as content in an attempt to inure you to the depths of depravity. They want voyeurism, not accountability. If they wanted justice, they would have believed the trafficked child rape victims the first time."

UNC Admin Can Now, Officially, Secretly Record Faculty The new policy prohibits students from recording class without permission but explicitly allows administrators to surveil professors for any “lawful purpose.”

“This is something that governments in Iran and Syria and East Germany and maybe military regimes back in the day in Argentina and Brazil would do, but in the United States? That’s just crazy.” @emmawhitford.bsky.social #ncpol

I thought this summed it all up pretty well…

A decade of trans advocacy has taught me people believe lies because they want to, not because they don't know they are lies. They believe trans people will regret our transition because they want us to regret our transition. They believe we are a "social contagion" because that is how they see us

Remind me, when your masked paramilitary thugs are strangling kidnapped immigrants to death in torture prisons, are you still the Good Guys?

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

- George Orwell, 1984

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

MTV Is Still Alive. So Why Does Everyone Think It Shut Down Last Week? Our ability to tell fact from fiction—even when the facts are right in front of you—is nearly gone. This is not going to end well.

If you’ve been on the Internet the past few weeks, you probably heard that MTV went off the air last Wednesday, New Year’s Eve, at midnight, after 44 years. It’s a sad moment in cultural history, and also an interesting one, in that it absolutely did not happen at all....

So, Trump consulted with the oil companies both before and after the military action against a sovereign nation, but did not consult with Congress? Okay, I think we're done here.

I think you might have meant @revolvingdoordc.bsky.social

We’re old enough to remember when Congress existed

So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.

Editorial: Dear Carolina Community, the University will not protect you from ICE "In the wake of such cowardice, Carolina students are forced to reconcile with a callous truth: UNC will not protect students and faculty from ICE, at all."

The Editorial Board at The Daily Tarheel laying it down. If only mainstream legacy media would follow their courageous lead.

We Don’t Know Where We Will End Up… A Year Since the 2024 Election

"We may sometimes feel powerless, but each of us influences the world in some way. Most of the time, we have limited influence, but it matters... So I invoke “my right to choose which side shall feel the stubborn ounces of my weight.”"

It was not a plan but a capitulation document. It did not come together. It was a Russian document presented by some Americans as American. Be clear in your headlines. Help
people see the simple awfulness of things.
