I've written a bit of a reflection of the questions I'm asking these days, and what life is like, running a theatre (from home, without a theatre) and living with my beloved who works on the front lines of the pandemic. shar.es/aHKiXZ via @buddiesTO

Thank you @JILLSLASTWORD for advocating for arts and culture in the Ontario Legislature @ONArtsCouncil

Only 90 secs allowed to say THANKS to our Arts & Culture sector, who have provided us with so much healing during #Covid19. Got tongue twisted, but this is clear: artists r struggling & going into debt. Some arts venues will not reopen. Ford must do more to help! #onpoli

Call the Mayor and let him know that there must be a clear commitment to defund the police by a MINIMUM of 10% and to reinvest that money into community-led policing alternatives. kristynwongtam.ca/processfor…

Rest in Power Larry Kramer. Will never forget the @stu180theatre production of The Normal Heart @buddies many years ago, in the round, weeping and watching the whole audience weep together.

Breaking News: The writer and activist Larry Kramer has died at 84. His work to shock the U.S. into seeing AIDS as a public health emergency helped shift policy in the 1980s and '90s. “One of America’s most valuable troublemakers,” Susan Sontag called him. nyti.ms/3gtgOMf

Larry Kramer, Playwright and Outspoken AIDS Activist, Dies at 84 (Published 2020)

He sought to shock the country into dealing with AIDS as a public-health emergency and foresaw that it could kill millions regardless of sexual orientation.

The Conservatives privatized it. Mike Harris became CEO of the biggest company, paid millions. And they eliminated regulations and inspections. Perhaps Conservative ideas and actions are the problem.

No tourists in #Japan? No problem. Deer herd moved into Nara Park, fully enjoying its Cherry blossoms 🌸. An estimated 1000 🦌 in the park this year. Breathtaking:

Deers chilling under cherry blossoms

The deers who have grown accustomed to humans can be seen relaxing on sakura petal-covered lawns under sakura trees in full bloom

Brilliant: Newcastle, UK, releases a ‘pro-city’ plan to create a walking and cycling network to connect every school, to every park, to every local shopping center. Culling parking from the streetscape is one of the key ways they are going to do it.

Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau, just a reminder: not all families are heterosexual. So in referencing #MothersDay to children during your #COVID19 pressers please speak of parents instead of exclusive 'mom & dad' references that erase #LGBTQ families and moms. #COVID19
