That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government. This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

- I found this pain scale for chronic pain and it’s the most accurate one I’ve ever seen. I’m always at a distressing or unmanageable. I dream of a day it is just distracting.
- Problematic Summer Romance was so fucking good (hence the whole posting at 2:18 am). It was just so fun.

- WHAT?!?!? HOW?!?!? The first award of the night that I’m actually mad about.
- I just love Darren Criss. He’s a theater fan boy through and through. What a lovely speech.
- I just listened to the cast album of Real Women Have Curves and it is incredible!!! I still remember the first time I saw the movie - really wish I could see this show.

- On what PLANET could anyone claim that Nicole was better than THAT?!?!? Audra is the most talented performer to ever grace the stage. I feel lucky to be alive at the same time as her.
- AUDRA!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Or even better - Norm Lewis should have sung “Anytime”. THAT would have been perfect.
- What the hell wasn’t the In Memorium song “What Would I Do?” I mean, I know everyone would be puddles on the floor, but it would have perfect.

- I really want to see Dead Outlaw. And Floyd Collins. And Maybe Happy Endings. And Pirates! And all the shows that haven’t performed yet. I can’t even afford them if I win the lotteries for them 😭😭😭
- Weird song choice for In Memorium. But thinking about Gavin Creel is making me cry.
- I knew I would enjoy the Hamilton performance. But that transported me back to the first time I heard that cast album. I’m in awe of all of them all over again.
- So many of my favorite male Broadway voices tonight! Brian Stokes Mitchell Ramin Karimloo Jeremy Jordan. What a night!
- Reposted by Caitie Flumnot the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

- I wished my PT Happy Pride yesterday (she’s out, we talk about her wife all the time, so it was fine to do in our private room). I wear my Bi Pride Pura Vida bracelet all June last and this year, I had a Pride anklet on all of June in 2024. She noticed that it was Pura Vida since she wears one.

- I’m absolutely disgusted by Patti Lupone’s words - and lack thereof regarding the current Gypsy run. She can’t say one nice thing about the first Black cast of the show on Broadway?
- I never got to read OUR VICIOUS OATHS by @niadavenport.bsky.social (except for the very beginning which was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 from the first draft) I wanted to wait for the final book, but I can’t. I have to start tonight. I am so excited! And I can talk to more than one person about it!!!

- Are you feeling fired up right now and want to do something, here’s one thing you can do on Saturday.
- Trump and Musk believe our country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on and daring us to stop them. On Saturday, we're taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! Please join us: handsoff2025.com/?SQ...
- Cory Booker is such a great example of healthy masculinity. He has talked about how much he loves so many people. He’s not afraid of showing emotions. And he has been standing for over 24 hours because of something he believes deeply in. More of this.

- Reposted by Caitie FlumBtw, that means in the last 24 hours we've had: -Cory Booker going for a record in holding the floor -Ruben Gallego putting a hold on VA nominees over cuts to veterans care -Adam Schiff putting a hold on Ed Martin's nomination for DC US attorney over... a lot That's a genuinely good start.

- So proud that my senator is doing something! He just yielded for a question from Warnock. The rest of the Senate Democrats need to get in line and keep this going.
- Reposted by Caitie FlumIt’s really fascinating what happens when you remove diversity—white male incompetency is placed on full display and with no one to blame for their actions —so they just lie.
- Survivor had the most beautiful moment in tonight’s episode. Joe’s open heart and Eva’s revealing her autism to all the players should be watched by everyone. Even my husband was crying.

- How did Barnes and Noble underestimate the demand for Sunrise on the Reaping by SO much? Both of our B&N were out and you could tell they’ve been asked about it 100 times today.

- Second year in a row that the Best Animated Feature had no audio description available. I’ve seen the argument that it is too expensive for the filmmakers. It was purchased to be shown in the US. The buyer should have to add them, along with closed captioning.
- To everyone in LA, please, please, please go to this protest today. Children in LA are losing gender affirming care. www.instagram.com/p/DGATlKTxHH... I know a couple of kids this affects and I can’t be there to help save their lives, but if you can, it would mean the world to me.

[Not loaded yet] - Reposted by Caitie FlumYes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
- A wish for everyone with chronic health problems.
- This has been such a shitty pain week. I haven’t been at an eight for this many hours in a week since right after a surgery. But I still have to push through life and I’m still trying to help people.

- I have some very sad news. I’m leaving agenting. My pain has gotten so bad that I just can't do it anymore. I’ve had a new pain for months and doctors have no answers. It takes constant work to stay at a 7/10 in pain and trying to do that and agent is no longer working I am absolutely devastated

- I’m finally reading the last book in a series. The first is one of my favorite books of all time. I am not enjoying the last book. Like at all. The answer to a series long question was so lackluster. I hope it gets better, but I’m so close to DNFing to keep my happy memories of the series.

- Just listened to “Keep Marching” from Suffs and started crying…again. The losses are too large and I really don’t know if I think progress is even possible anymore.
- This is such a cute book! If you are looking for a holiday romance, I highly recommend!

- I am so close to actually reading all but one book on my “50 books to get to in 2024” list. (It helps that I DNFed 19) But this extra pain makes reading big fantasy books a lot harder and guess what the last three all are? 😭😭😭
- Reposted by Caitie FlumAn important reminder: we don't have time to lie about wanting to see your next work. If an agent asks to see future projects, they mean it!
- After a week of extra pain and a bad cold, I jumped back into work this morning with an email that took me 45 minutes to write and a few other big to-do list items. And now I am paying the price because my extra pain is back. I think I went a little too hard…
- Just saw Wicked Part 1 again. I still cried twice. I still got chills during Defying Gravity. My completely full theater was still perfectly behaved. 10/10, will go again.

- I recently finished IMMORTAL DARK by Tigest Girma and will recommend it to everyone I know. Not only is it a brilliant story, but Kidan’s mental health journey gave me chills. I won’t spoil anything, but there were two specific lines where I had to close the book and marvel for a few minutes.
