My play "Waiting for the Bus" written in collaboration with ArtSpark TX (a disability/veterans Arts organization in Austin, Texas) & now produced by ArtSpark is opening next week at Ground Floor Theatre in Austin.
@girldrawsghosts I only know you thru this hell app, but I'm so happy you were brave enough to make this leap for your safety. I have 2 friends irl who also had to escape (from TX) for similar reasons. Your continued existence is important & I hope u know u have absolute strangers pulling 4 you
The sun rose where I am. I spent the night not sleeping in my hotel room. It was dark and slow and lonely.
I had thought if it happened it wouldn’t be as hard as last time. Because it would be less of a shock. But it was harder, actually, and for the same reason. No one went into this naively. This was chosen.
But now my people are checking in with me, and vice versa. The sun is up. I already feel less alone.
This is me checking in with you: you’re not alone and you’re NOT wrong. This is going to feel bad. It’s going to BE bad. But the sun rose. You deserve its warmth, every day, and we are already closer to a future in which this will be the fucked up past.
Take care of one another and yourself. See you tonight if that’s helpful to you.
To my trans brothers and sisters in America. I’m begging you, please choose life, please don’t die. Don’t give those cunts the satisfaction. You are loved. You are important. You are not alone. You will get through this. Please don’t give up hope.
Hyper-local closing argument: if Musk/Rogan are rewarded for their sycophantic allegiances with 4 yrs of real power, the minions that will further flock here for them represent an existential threat to the soul of Austin that’ll make our tear-it-down-for-condos era look quaint.
If Texas officials wanted to stop the arrival of undocumented immigrants, they could try to make it impossible for them to work here. But that would devastate the state’s economy.
So instead politicians engage in border theater. https://t.co/U8ErarNgbY
