So so so very good to be back. 🎭 I’m here tonight because I realized that if I didn’t make it to a theater before Tuesday, I’d not have seen any in-person theater while I was 43. To get to have the one show be a James Baldwin show feels more than right. 💖 To the theater. ImageImage
🥺 I missed you so, live theater. 😍
It had been 580 days since I last attended an in-person theater performance. I teared up when I picked up my ticket from will call. I sat quietly, filled with such gratitude, as the actors made their opening entrances. We all stood, applauding, as the show came to a close. 🎭
Such simple moments. Tonight, it was so overwhelmingly wonderful to see them back in my life. Thank you to everyone, from James Baldwin to the person who checked my vaccine card, for making such an evening possible. 💖

Is this an alternative universe thing? I mean, why is Tucker in, like, a lodge or something? What is this? It can’t be about our universe.
This makes me so mad. Like, we had an entire generation of gay men stigmatized by most of the nation in what was already their most traumatized moment. People who weren’t gay and contracted HIV were often just as stigmatized. There were and are HIV-specific criminal laws!
“Failure to make moral judgments on this behavior is why we have this epidemic. To my knowledge, the President has never said that we are to abandon moral judgment on these types of matters.” - Reagan staffer Carl Anderson, in a 1987 White House memo Image

Two Clinton-appointed judges in their 70s were all that stood in the path of Thapar having his way here.
Here's Judge Thapar, Trump's first appeals court nominee, mincing no words and saying that, in his view, Tennessee can do whatever it wants, including a total ban on abortion.
More from Thapar: "But those precedents are wrong."

But, lol. The engagement on this post tells me you can just put this idea back on the shelf. Image
I really want to have a sit-down with whoever was like, “Shark Tank, but instead of capitalism we make it about activism. By turning the activism into a marketable commodity. So, capitalism.”

We’re still waiting on word from #SCOTUS in John Ramirez’s request for a stay of execution in Texas. Ramirez is due to be executed tonight. Here’s the docket: supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?fi…
Here’s the underlying issue presented, a religious liberty — specifically, RLUIPA — claim, on which he is asking for a stay:
Notably, Texas AG Paxton, which opposes the stay request, is also *opposing* the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty here, which filed an amicus brief supporting Ramirez. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/21/2…
