Programme note - some final(ish) thoughts on theatre.
Don't work here any more so here's a bunch of anecdotes and things that've been on my mind as I won't be writing about performance going forwards cause of my new job.
Farewell, I guess! 🎭🎟️🌶️

I feel like there's three levels of 'justice' floating around here. One, where individual families and loved ones see those responsible named. Another, where symbolic cases and protest works. Three, a just society where there isn't state apparatus to kill consistently like this.

Sorry but this demonstrates a fear I've been having for a good five or so years now. What happens when all the people who have girlhood/youth as their cultural lens of inquiry, many of whom are now closer to 40 than 14, can't admit their relationship to the material has shifted?

It is really funny how you can't say 'I think it's bad vibes to publicly celebrate a lucrative deal with a brand paying people £3.50 an hour in Leicester with a £35k bracelet' without having to be like 'but I'd absolutely totally invite her to my birthday drinks, what a babe! 💖'

I genuinely and longstanding-ly have thought that the myth of 'instant' delivery and access is/will cause a moral rot that hides itself better than "just" having personal servants
The food recipients checked their order but something was amiss. They wanted to ask Mohammed & pointed to his bag. I asked if they had no humanity. They then stepped over Mohammed & went upstairs to dine on the incomplete order Mohammed may have given his life to deliver them. 8/

Contempt of court is real.
Sharing/RTs of statements that suggest the outcome of an ongoing case is a foregone conclusion can risk the trial not going ahead. It's not common knowledge but if you've been politely asked to delete, please do! Even if you think it's silencing.

dunno how to say this but: if you're based in the UK, especially if you're white, and the only things you're donating to/RTing are US-based initiatives, it further adds to the narrative I'm seeing pumped out by conservative commentators here that it's only an American issue

This is how Anna Delvey got lauded as some kind of criminal mastermind when the infrastructure she was using (bad cheques) would've had you refused service at a post office by 1998.
I'll never understand why America loves money so much but is so shit at handling it still.
At the bar last night, the Zoomers were all paying with credit cards and closing out on every round. This is psycho behavior. Someone needs to teach these children how to go to the bar.

This is why feminist campaigners joining forces with the lawyered-up Christian right to demolish the Gillick competency principle should take a very long, hard look at themselves. And so too should politicians mindlessly bleating that all parents know the best for their kids.
I’m thinking of the girls whose parents wouldn’t give permission for their daughter to have this vaccine when I was in school.

Believing that nothing you do or say or think or feel until you hit the age of 25 matters is such a self-infantilising myth of the middle classes and I hate it so much. Please stop referring to yourselves as 33 year old teenagers, because our lawmakers seem to genuinely believe!

Ah, how very sad. In a literary culture which too often undervalues the role charisma has in propelling the text, Zephaniah had it. His rejection of a waning empire's trinkets still stands as a provocation of other 2nd and 3rd gen artists whose work covers similar grounds. RIP.

This is incredibly annoying and ridiculous advice. If a small treat tips you into financial instability or your overdraft, you're probably underpaid not "bad with money". Stuff in moderation, sure, but let's not pathologise small pleasures when our problem is wealth hoarding!

It’s easy to buy something you don’t need or want when you’re bored or unhappy. It’s also easy to treat yourself when you’re happy.

Honestly it's because she is fluent, to an extent no other popstar is, with the dominant form of self-expression of our times: the personal essay.
And I mean 'I have Imposter Syndrome/Elizabeth Day How to Fail' rather than Cat Marnell rock bottom stuff. Vulnerable, not gritty
