City of Houston issues a boil water notice. houstonpress.com/news/housto…
So much discussion about Broadway and I just want to take a moment to encourage people to attend small theatre. Plays by "unknown" and living playwrights. Be willing to discover a voice new to you. Be willing to be moved by something not in the zeitgeist. It matters. Thanks!

I'm not the only historian of modern Germany to find that the UK government scheme to deport asylum seekers to a tropical part of Africa irresistibly reminds them of the failed Nazi scheme to deport Jews to Madagascar.

Worth a read.
I would like you to meet Polina Kovaleva. Polina is a 26-year-old glamorous Russian girl from London🇬🇧. She lives in a huge apartment in Kensington and loves to party, her instagram feed looks like a non-stop holiday. That’s not unheard of, but there is one small detail…(THREAD)

I thought it might be more complex but the far right’s use of progressive politics as cover for their support of Putin is as pathetic as it is transparent. Countries aren’t threatened by gay rights, sexual equality & opposition to racism. Homophobes, misogynists & racists are.

Six weeks of using a wheelchair/walker/cane and seeing shows taught me a lot about the great and not so great accessibility at Houston theaters. houstonpress.com/arts/how-ac…

One day, we're going to have to have the difficult conversation about how the reason you aren't getting press is because your publicist doesn't respond to emails. In arts and entertainment this is key.

I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that. As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵

It's easy to see why frolicking, snorkelling, diving and lounging among the lily pads remain a favourite pastime for the Umani orphans. After the rains, this verdant oasis of green becomes even more vibrant!

Two days ago, I decided to stop doing the dishes. I make all the dinners and I am tired of having to do all the cleaning too. SINCE THEN this pile has appeared and at some point they are going to run out of spoons and cups and plates. Who will blink first? Not me.

Since many have asked today, all approved covid vaccinations are VERY effective in preventing normal lungs (on the L) from looking like ones that need life support (on the R) Please pass it on: the brand doesn’t matter, as all will prevent severe illness from occurring.
