I'm a freelance prop artisan in a Big City. Making big dreams on tiny budgets.

@katiedidwhat @volpinprops That is the new question. I know a lot of people are rethinking their careers. I’m not there yet, but I’m edging closer.

[A Propper Anon @PropperAnon]

@katiedidwhat @volpinprops But what it comes down to is I would not have been able to do it without financial support. I wonder about how many potential talented theater artists didn’t have the same privilege. No one should be denied a career b/c they can’t work for free.

Holy shit this. Pay people, dammit. Are they inexperienced students with no clue what's going on? Then pay them less than your staff until they catch on but DON'T PAY THEM NOTHING

[Eric Hart @ericbhart]

When theater comes back, it should come back with no more unpaid internships or less-than-minimum-wage apprenticeships. Most of them are illegal anyways, and it only allows the privileged among us to build a good resume.

2000. Read that year carefully. Interracial marriage WAS NOT LEGAL in all 50 states till 2000. Virginia was the 1st state to legalize it with Loving vs. Virginia & Alabama was the last state to legalize it in 2000.

Black ASL is different from ASL because schools for the deaf were segregated.

Please read every word of this thread. What happened today to undermine the health of transgender and non-binary people is gut wrenchingly horrible. Understand that before this moment, the care that transgender people receive is shockingly bad. (Thread)

.@AOC's answer to "what does defund the police look like?" was "a suburb" and that is totally gonna be my answer from now on

[OffStageJobs.com @OffStageJobs]

Well, here we are. 3 months ago today Broadway shut down, and most other locales followed suit. The entire live entertainment industry closed, and still no way to know how long it will be until it reopens.

We're gonna have to retire the expression "avoid it like the plague" because it turns out humans do not do that

Let's definitely encourage freelancers to ask for more money! Let's also acknowledge that POC freelancers are conditioned to feel "lucky" to be recognized by the media establishment. If you're already afraid to lose work, I get why you'd be anxious to ask for a higher rate
