If this video goes viral, Trump will lose easily.

This was a Harris-Walz campaign rally in Wisconsin today

Sending my deepest thoughts and prayers to the Trump team.

Someone call Lucia the seamstress to fix this. I believe in her

@flanaganfilm the scene between Erin & Riley in the Lamentations episode of #midnightmassnetflix is both incredible and devastating. As a bereaved parent, I have never felt so seen while watching a piece of art. A beautiful piece of writing and acting.

I have that post-virtual presentation letdown of feeling like I just yelled at my own reflection for several minutes. So let me throw this out to the theatre folx here: what memories do you have of your undergrad theatre history courses? #LMDA21 @LMDAmericas

[LaRonika Thomas @prtcpnt_obsrvr]

@DrMrsDawson @LMDAmericas @simply_lindsey @TimeTravelDaveR I also have only seen him in Promising Young Woman. Will have to check out his stand-up special, about which I have heard mixed reviews. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[LaRonika Thomas @prtcpnt_obsrvr]

@TimeTravelDaveR @simply_lindsey @LMDAmericas Too many of us were unfamiliar with it to engage! :/

READ THIS.

[Aaron Jakes @aaronjakes]

This story in @nytimes, beginning with its headline, fails spectacularly to explain what is happening right now to universities all across this country. The conflicts over plans for the fall are warning signs of an epic crisis for higher ed.

🎶 And I made it all the way past Austin city limits
And maybe for a minute, I got too big for my britches, but
I'm just a dime store dramaturg
That's all I'm ever gonna be
You can take me out of the theatre
But you can't take the theatre out of me, no 🎶

[LaRonika Thomas @prtcpnt_obsrvr]

Absolutely - I'll see if I can send out a copy via LMDA!

[Jen Plants @jenplants]

I love the people who were on Hot Topics this year, AND its overwhelming whiteness is still an issue. #lmda2020

[LaRonika Thomas @prtcpnt_obsrvr]

Excited for this Q&A!

Thanks, @dramaturged !

@prtcpnt_obsrvr sharing the FASCINATING phenomenon of Facebook groups where people pretend (e.g. “a group where we all pretend to be from the fire nation”). Currently unpacking the improvised performance that happens within the group. #lmda2020
