Now that I’m studying bio, may I just say how fervently I wish my primary association with the words “alpha, beta, omega” was literally anything other than what it is
My nutrition professor was talking about vitamins and said, “the only reason you all even know the words alpha and omega is because of sororities,” and I wanted so badly to raise my hand and be like “if you’re gonna be a dick for some reason, please let me explain to you in depth my immediate connotations for those words”
This means a great lot in a moment in time where maybe the most important thing that we remember right now is the sanctity of the human spirit it is the profound privilege of my life to play Prior Walter in Angels in America because he represents the purest spirit of humanity and especially that of the LGBTQ community. It is a spirit that says no to oppression. It is a spirit that says no to bigotry, no to shame, no to exclusion. It is a spirit that says we are all made perfectly and we all belong. So I dedicate this award to the countless LGBTQ people who have fought and died to protect that spirit, to protect that message, for the right to live and love as we are created to.
ok i’m just at a loss for words right now, you have no fucking idea how much this show means to me but here’s some amazing things that i’ve picked up through hours of obsessing over this show
the band’s visit is the 1st middle eastern work to win a tony. ever.
the band’s visit is also technically the 1st asian show that wasn’t racist to asians (cough king and i cough miss saigon)
they cast actual middle easterners in this show!! can broadway and all theatre stop casting non middle easterners in middle eastern shows (cough aladdin)
5 of the people from the team were the 1st asians to win in their categories. i mean in the year 2018???? come on!!!!
this is prob one of the few shows i’ve seen that have featured jewish/muslim people in a narrative that has nothing to do with their religion. they’re just a group of guys who got lost on a bus i mean lmao??!?!
the show is 50% in hebrew and arabic and they just don’t translate it at all i mean iconic
the fact that in everyone’s speeches they talked about racism, immigration, islamophobia, and antisemitism like they will not let any member of that audience forget what’s happening right now!!!
there’s prob more but i am just speechless and shaking and i love this show and everything it’s done for theatre and for people of color good fucking night
So I don’t know about you, but I’m often frustrated by the ridiculous smallness of girls’ pockets. At a bare minimum, I need to be able to shove my cellphone in there – come on, pants companies! So what I started doing was making myself pocket extenders. I’ve done this several times, for pants and shorts. It’s great.
I just got this pair of jeans, so I thought I’d show you how to do it. I kind of feel like it just hasn’t occurred to some of you that this is an option, so maybe now it will. All you need is your pants, some fabric (I just took a random piece from a scrap bin), a needle, and some thread (thread doesn’t even need to match the fabric since literally no one will see it).
See? Ridiculous. Like, half a cellphone, or only 2.5″. Useless.
So turn those inside out to expose the pockets.
Figure out how big you want your pockets to actually be. I kinda go by whatever looks like might be right. I didn’t
really measure them. Fold the fabric in half, so you have a pocket, and
then fold it in half again so you can have two equal ones.
Try to get the edges to line up enough, pin it in place, then sew up the sides! Are your stitches crazy uneven and wonky looking? Doesn’t matter; nobody’s going to see it. These are in the inside of your pants. The only thing that matters is that it holds up. So I double-did the corners, since those tend to get the most stress.
Cut open the bottom of the existing pockets.
Pin it in place, then sew around, joining the new pocket to the old pocket. I did this by keeping my hand on the inside, so I wouldn’t accidentally sew through the other side. Again, I reinforced the corners, and didn’t worry about what it actually looks like. Then I turned it in side out to make sure the inside was all joined properly.
Yay all done! And the pockets are so much bigger now!
Whaaaat I can fit my entire phone and entire hand and probably something else now, are girls’ pockets even allowed to do that?! Heck yeah they are.
The new fun thing my kids are doing is putting a Godzilla mask on a bouncy horse and leaving it for me to ominously find throughout the day. It takes planing and insight and I’m as impressed as I am scared.
i know resting bitch face is like a joke thing but um has anyone ever talked about how profoundly soul-destroying it is to be told you look sad or angry or like you hate everyone when you uhhh actually are…genuinely trying to be nice or gregarious or even were in quite a good mood and had literally no idea you were even coming across as aloof or unpleasant
