Learning this was an intentional genocide changed me.
I know most of those following me know this, but just to make it super clear. An Gorta MΓ³r (The Great Hunger/the Great Famine) was a deliberate genocide of the Irish people. There was enough food grown in Ireland to make sure everyone was alive and healthy and survived. Instead it was exported, sent to England and elsewhere for profit while men, women, and children starved in the streets. While the English landlords fucked off and evicted starving families who couldnβt afford rent. While babies were too weak to cry and died at the side of the road.
They tried to kill us, but they did not succeed. And we owe so much thanks to the other oppressed peoples, in particular the Choctaw Nation and the Masai, who sent money and grain to us.
Let me repeat that. The Choctaw Nation who had just gone through the Trail of Tears sent us money to try save Irish lives. Itβs led to an understanding between Irish people and Native American tribes, most recently when we donated to the Navajo and Hopi fundraisers for COVID-19 relief, because while it may be a different tribe, Irish people will never forget those who helped us and weβll help back.
The entire population of the island is less than seven million people. Weβre still a million less on this island than pre famine. And itβs not that long ago. My grandmotherβs grandparents lived through it. Weβve told the stories, it literally changed the DNA of the country. We have a national fear of renting, because so many people were evicted. People joke about Irish people always offering loads of food, but itβs because thereβs that cultural memory of not being able to.
They tried to kill us, but they did not succeed. We will not let them take our lives, we will not let them take our language. We lost so much, but we will not lose it all.
This is why I get so angry when people say βit was the potato famine, it was because of monoculture/microbes.β
Nope. The potatoes were the only thing Irish people were allowed to fucking eat, because as pointed out, the rest of the crops they were growing were for their landlords to ship to England. So when the one βworthlessβ crop they were allowed to eat rotted in the field, the English crown, empire, landlords, all shrugged and carried on. People starved to death lying next to productive fields.

It's really frustrating how many studies of covid these days are like "why is this group of high-risk people so *afraid* of covid? Why aren't they just going back to normal and catching every disease like normal people? What could give them this *hypochondira*?" This is one of many reasons why disabled and ill people MUST be included in health research and the healthcare system.
The reason that leftists canβt get anyone to mask even a little bit is because people care more about looking hot than being nice or woke. I literally donβt think an appeal to morals or rationality basically ever works in any situation like. At all. But especially not here. Your only real option is to make people feel part of an exclusive and desirable club. I think people just have to halt production on Infographics and focus everyoneβs energy on getting hunter schaefer or Sophie thatcher or charli or even Addison Rae to be photographed in an n95

love shakespeare. did a hamlet run tonight, looked someone dead in the eye to say βam i a coward?β during a speech and the fucker shrugged and nodded
we literally ruined society when we invented the fourth wall. letβs bring back call and response. heckling, even. fuck you hamlet you dumb piece of shit kill your uncle or shut up
"When we took Shakespeareβs βMeasure for Measureβ into a maximum security womanβs prison on the West Sideβ¦ thereβs a scene there where a young woman is told by a very powerful official that βIf you sleep with me, I will pardon your brother. And if you donβt sleep with me, Iβll execute him.β And he leaves the stage. And this character, Isabel, turned out to the audience and said: βTo whom should I complain?β And a woman in the audience shouted: βThe Police!β And then she looked right at that woman and said: βIf I did relate this, who would believe me?β And the woman answered back, βNo one, girl.β
And it was astonishing because not only was it an amazing sense of connection between the audience and the actress, but you also realized that this was a kind of an historical lesson in theater reception. Thatβs what must have happened at The Globe. These soliloquies were not simply monologues that people spoke, they were call and response to the audience. And you realized that vibrancy, that that sense of connectedness is not only what makes theater great in prisons, itβs what makes theater great, period."
Oskar Eustis on ArtBeat Nation
I was in the front row of a Hamlet performance where the "Am I a coward?" was directed at me and I, being a no-impulse-control gremlin, hollered back "Yes!!" (they'd primed us ahead of time that audience interaction was encouraged). Hamlet got right up in my face as he kept talking and just kept going until I gently pushed him back; I forget what line it was on when it happened but he took the direction of the push and reeled away across the stage.
This meant that I had marked myself as someone willing to be fucked with, and so during the graveyard scene later he approached me again. "Here hung those lips that I have kissed--" he booped my mouth with the skull's "-- I know not how oft."
I have stories related to me from those at Blackfriars, the American Shakespeare Center (they play in a replica of the original Blackfriars, with modern safety conventions like lightbulbs in the chandeliers, but a great dedication to the way structure shaped the original work in the original Blackfriars. Their house is only about 45 ft deep (roughly 15 m I think), which is about the max distance two sighted people can be from each other and still make eye contact. They play with the stage and house equally lit, they talk to the audience, they enter from the audience, they whip up crowds from within the audience. Itβs fantastic. But anyway, on to the stories.)
Hamlet. Thereβs a scene where Hamlet sees Claudius praying and debates whether to kill him now or wait (because if Claudius dies praying he will automatically go to heaven). The actor playing Hamlet was genuinely asking the audience the questions in the speech, and when he got to βand should I kill him now?β someone in the audience shouted βYES KILL HIM HE NEEDS TO DIE!β Hamlet took the entire rest of the monologue to that person, enumerating his reservations so persuasively that they started to nod in agreement.
Romeo and Juliet. In this production, the fight between Mercutio and Tybalt happens in several rounds, of which Mercutio won the first. Mercutioβs actor made the choice, upon his victory, to run down the audience with his hand out for high-fives. He decided this in rehearsal, so he had time to plan for the three responses people would probably give him: a) a high-five back; b) being stunned and not reacting; and c) the old βoops too slow.β What this Mercutio did not prepare for was the audience member who panicked and deposited their handful of M&Ms into his open palm. The way I heard it, Mercutio was still processing this when Benvolio came up beside him and stole the M&Ms out of his hand to eat them.
King Lear. Edmund has a speech in which he asks whether he should marry βGoneril? Regan? Both? Neither?β Again, the actor was legitimately asking the audience, and again heβd prepared for the audience to respond in favor of any of those choices. What makes it even cooler was that the next line is βNeither can be enjoyed while both remain alive,β which works as a response to any of those options. One night, though, Edmund got his answer as βKILL THEM BOTH AND TAKE THEIR MONEY!β To which he gleefully agreed, βNeither can be enjoyed while both remain alive!!β
#Oh I have SO many stories from peak audience moments at the American shakespeare center#I have been to plays there that legit felt more like rock concerts#And I don't even mean the parts of the show where the cast is also a live band and they play#Covers of songs relating to the show#Fair maid of the west with Ginna Hoben#We were all SO on her side we absolutely lost our whole shit any time she even entered or exited#Knight of the burning pestle where Rick would pick a random audience member to be his lady love he was fighting for every night#And one time (I saw it thrice) he picked an older lady#And there's a part of the show where iirc he like gets almost defeated?#And he calls out to his lady love to like inspire him to keep fighting smth like that#And she Got Up Out Of Her Seat and went over to him and kissed him on the cheek#And no one was expecting that least of all Rick#And we all lost our shit whooping and hollering#They did a hamlet where...I forget who was polonius that year but there's a line where he's like 'what was I gonna say again'#And he paused SO long on that line you were legit unsure if he the actor had actually forgotten it#And once someone in the audience called out the next line and he was like 'oh that's right' and carried on#It was scripted though there were other nights no one said anything and we all sat there#In wonderful horrid awkward silence#Until he resumed#Please go if you get a chance#And sit stateside (via @rootingformephistopheles)
Shakespeare in the Park in my city has often done walk-throughs of the audience, but I was really delighted and surprised when, during Much Ado About Nothing act 2 scene 3, the actor playing Benedict was peeling an orange (since the scene's in an orchard), and tossed me a slice of it when he said: "One woman is fair, yet I am well"

I need a "girl who's gonna be okay" moment bad
Itβs incredibly sexist to claim Taylor swiftβs dad bought her career
damn you're right. both of her parents worked together to buy her career and I am sorry for disrespecting Andrea Swift in this way
You ever think about many peices of media have zero women and thats just perfectly normal but if a peice of media has an all female cast people get... like that? Women should be allowed to kill over this btw
same but it's black people
That's right
Caption this for me idk
people owe leslie jones a huge apology bc ghostbusters 2016 was the start of the whole anti-woke movies backlash as a trickle down from gamergate and as the only black woman in the cast she took the brunt of the impact with everyone saying horrible shit about her online and now we're at the apex of the anti-woke backlash industry

TMI just means Tell Me Immediately. Sorry not sorry π€·π»ββοΈ
it is not only fucking stupid but also actively dangerous to pretend that anyone who shares your orientation label shares your political cause and is a safe individual in community with you
