@tinoweeno (who captured my joy) and I went to see @whereismuna (who played with the fucking excellent @av33333ry and @hemlockesprings ) and I danced and it’s was wonderful and gay and prepared me to return to the world as a justice loving peace maker. I highly recommend.
A mix of things I said on the news including the phrase I’m most proud of “tiny obedient squirrel” our play opens tonight come and see it!!! Link in bio and I by accident happily put @aishatyler @carenerose @klchell @thecarlagallo @kkcarpy @ashleyyysutton & @petecapella on the news…
#nationalcomingoutday here’s me being my queer bisexual self while being flanked by @detrinis & @muchosgarcias @lalgbtcenter where I get to romp about in #lottieplachetttookahatchet aka Queer Heaven created by @justinelizabethsayre this day is important to me because so much heartbreak happens on this planet & open visible queerness is one of one million ways way to heal the heartbreak. Here’s me, waving at you, fellow person on the LGBTQIA spectrum (& our friends) in the hopes it can ease someone else’s internalized homophobia or remind them they are valid and deserve safety and atunement. Coming Out Day is a thing that happens multiple times a month, a day. Each time I come out it’s a different cocktail – at its best it’s a mix of vulnerability, pride, bravery & joy but sometimes there’s shame in there, sometimes there’s fear, sometimes there’s a LOT of evil internal chatter. So it’s good to have a day to acknowledge this thing called coming out that many of us do because coming out is brave and wonderful and cleansing. Anything can transform with some air, time, sunshine, deep breaths and radical responsibility. Anything can transform into a more expanded thing, as we continue to come out and out and out we are part of creating a kinder more gorgeous world. Keep coming out. Even if it’s just to you. It counts. 🩷💙💜🌈🏳️🌈💥

soul sister @tinoweeno was placed on the planet today. She is gorgeous, outrageously kind and magnificently insightful. She generously spills all of the beauty out of her pores and being around her it gets all over you. She can effortlessly remind a person of their own glorious essence just by being around her and wish her a lifetime of granted wishes because she is a true blue Wonder Woman.
Sweet Lady @theatreofnote Angels came to #lottieplatchetttookahatchet @lalgbtcenter @outsideinthtr There’s a real joy in making stuff and having folks come see stuff you made and a real thing about holding tightly to your feminine tribe.
All the things are happening at once kind things, mean things, generous hearted things, contracted thinking things and on top of THAT we each show up as Elaine Stritch I believe said with our own “bag of rocks”. So in my little life, as the deep pain is happening in others lives- I went out to walk the line with the other art helpers and we smiled and asserted fair wages and it’s just so, so tiny but it was still a beautiful thing and I am a firm believer in counting all the tiny beautiful things. #sagaftrastrong
Repost• @lindsaybergersacks Taking a most necessary mental health break from the horror that continues to unfold is healthy and necessary & i have just the way you should do this! Last Monday i went to see “Lottie Platchett took a Hatchet” and i laughed for an hour straight. It is raunchy AF so not suitable for kids or immature grown ups (tho i fared well) It is genius! It is fun! @kirstenvangsness and @tommylenk were off the charts incredible along w the rest of the fabulous cast. Do it! You will have the best hour of your week hands down!

Some actions I am taking you can copy(none of this is an ad I don’t know any of these folks I am just very happy they are creating things to help us engage) I saw this book by @deepaviyer from an @chaninicholas post and it is JUST SO VERY GREAT and you can find how to get it on her instagram as well as hearing all about the book. It has journal prompts and all kinds of exercises to help you step out exactly where your (to use an @hendricks.gay @katiethendricks phrase) “Zone of Genius” is when it comes to engaging in social change. And please enjoy my seasonal table decor with it. Also! Do you know the @5calls app? It’s the easiest way to call your congress person ESPECIALLY if you are weirdly shy like me and freak out when talking- I love it has a script I can refer to and that it does all the work of letting me know who my reps are- never forget THEY WORK FOR YOU. And additionally I am very happy my Senator is @senlaphonza **I want to explicitly say: what happened on Oct. 7 to the Jewish people is heartbreakingly abhorrent and what is happening to the Palestinians is unfair and terrible. Anti Semitism is disgusting and Anti Muslim talk is gross. WE DONT MAKE GOOD CHOICES WHEN REACTIVE. I wish for the binary good/bad to be let go of and get to the fixing, get to the work of empowerment and stop the abhorrent violent behavior. If you need to twist my words up to make me look like I am your enemy☮️

This week (in two days) we are doing another BITS. This time we will take half of the money and give it to @theatreofnote and the other half to @doctorswithoutborders it’s a very heavy evening of NOTE members and alum showing art they created that’s under 9 minutes. The ticket link is in my bio come and watch, get some art and heal your heart so it can continue to get broken for good reasons.
