Into the woods, you have to grope, but that's the way you learn to cope...

There's a play by Barbara Kahn about the life and loves of Charlotte Cushman called The Lady Was a Gentleman! It's really funny, a friend of mine directed it for the LA Fringe a few years ago.
I wonder how different your lemon roll preparation is from my orange roll preparation.

Yeah, the Christian part is the least surprising thing.
Dvorak wrote an opera about a Rusalka.
They're also spring/fertility spirits. There's speculation that they were a regular part of pagan Slavic culture but they were heavily demonised (literally) when the Christians came in
I love Rusalki! I don't remember how I first encountered them, but they're partially vengeance spirits, created by women who drown themselves over men. They live in the rivers and lure men to their deaths. They wrap their hair around the dudes' ankles, drag them under, and tickle their breath out! 🧜🏻♀️
As is right and proper in these circumstances. Do you have face glitter?
If you're counting Whistle Down the Wind as a greatest musical, there are plenty of Sondheim shows that clear that bar.
And just... They've included songs from Whistle Down the Wind, but nothing from Into the Woods or Follies or Company or Sweeney Todd...
Fascinated that this five disc "Greatest Musicals of the 20th Century" box set contains an entire disc of Andrew Lloyd Webber and one (1) Sondheim song. (The Sondheim song is "Send in the Clowns" which is definitely a masterpiece, but.)
Words good. I am very definitely ace, not interested in the physical as pertains to my body, but sexy words are excellent.
Autochorisexual! (Although actually maybe not, if you don't identify as ace? I'm not exactly sure the boundaries of the term)
I know what "I've been working on this song in the shower and in my car and when I can't sleep" looks like. I have done these things myself.
You can tell me he hasn't been doing that song in the shower for years, but I won't believe you.
FOR DID NOT THE UNROMANTIC PRIESTESS SAY "WE'RE HERE, WE'RE QUEER, KISS MY RAINBOW ASS"?

Happy #Pride month everyone. Please enjoy this very rainbow art from a few years back! I've got prints on shimmer paper and metallic magnets if you'd like one of your own. spaceturtlestudios.bigcartel.com #fantasyart #pegasus #magnets
Icons are the best. Of all the things I miss about LJ, making and using icons is at the top of the list. (I have a Dreamwidth, but I barely use it. The life break for me between LJ and Dreamwidth meant that I just never quite got into it)
Love being woken up after a difficult work day by my phone ringing with a number I don't know, accidentally accepting the call instead of hanging up, having someone shout at me in a language I don't really speak, hanging up, and then having 4 callbacks leaving messages shouting and swearing at me.
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this. His memory for a blessing.
Aaaaaaall of this. All of it. I am so scared of the lack of rigor and precision (and facts, in many places) in the educational system.
From one perspective: A hardcover of Batwoman: Elegy signed by @ruckawriter.bsky.social & Rachel Maddow (who did the introduction)
From another perspective: Custom popples of the original six MCU Avengers. (And also Kate Bishop)
Happy Friday! We're curious, what's the nerdiest/geekiest thing item you own? If you have any life-size stormtroopers, this your time to shine.
Do you like otters? Do you perhaps need otter earrings?
I can help! These earrings are currently available @peculiarityshop.bsky.social!

Please note: These come equipped with sterling silver ear wires. Someone OTTER love these! I'll see myself out. Vavia's found these incredibly articulated otter charms and I absolutely adore their little smushy faces. She's paired them with lampwork (beads made by glass artisans) crafted by SilverReflection, crystal, and silverplate. The wood on the otters is maple. Lead/nickel free.
www.peculiarityshop.comThey don't always have to be high graded to be beautiful, do they? It's how they catch the light and the colour changes.
Gorgeous and not at all the same colour as the crystal bicones I have that are called pink sapphire.
Very similar to when the Lakers win a championship.
That is a good thing to know! *shuffles off to look at the library*
He was doing that the time I saw him at Creation's BSG Con. A kid in the audience asked him about accent switching. It was adorable.
I was listening to part of the Black Sails soundtrack last weekend and damn there are moments when it's SUCH a Bear score. No one else writes percussion like that.
It's a fantastic note to end on. Like, I would've screamed and torn my hair out, but if the series had ended there, it still would have been spectacular.
