Sonnet 014 - XIV Not from the stars do I my judgement pluck; And yet methinks I have Astronomy, But not to tell of good or evil luck, Of plagues, of dearths, or seasons' quality; Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell, Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind, Or say with princes if it shall […]

Sonnet 112 - CXII Your love and pity doth the impression fill, Which vulgar scandal stamped upon my brow; For what care I who calls me well or ill, So you o'er-green my bad, my good allow? You are my all-the-world, and I must strive To know my shames and praises from your tongue; None else to me […]

"I think the most liberating thing I did early on was to free myself from any concern with my looks as they pertained to my work." —Meryl Streep #acting #coaching #inspiration #ActingCoach #ActingCoaching #actorslife

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." —Bruce Lee #acting #coaching #inspiration #ActingCoach […]

"I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character." […]

"Somebody told me long ago that in acting, it's okay to steal, just steal from the best." —Nathan Fillion #acting #coaching #inspiration #ActingCoach #ActingCoaching #actorslife

Elon is not just a threat to democracy, threat means potential and future. He is a current damaging force being exerted on democracy. He is the realization of a threat. He is, manifestly, the active enemy of the people living in democratic countries around the world, not just Ukraine and the U.S.

Eric Bauza. Legend.

This drives me CRAZY. I grew up playing sports w/ boys. I played on a U12 boys select soccer team, b4 switching to a U12 girls team that kept beating us. Nobody had any issue with any of it. Youth sports have never had the strict sex/gender boundaries that “XX-XY” activists are now trying to defend.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Elon Musk is a Russian oligarch and should be treated as such.

Sonnet 002 - II When forty winters shall besiege thy brow, And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field, Thy youth's proud livery so gazed on now, Will be a totter'd weed of small worth held: Then being asked, where all thy beauty lies, Where all the treasure of thy lusty days; To say, within […]

Sonnet 084 - LXXXIV Who is it that says most, which can say more, Than this rich praise, that you alone, are you, In whose confine immured is the store Which should example where your equal grew? Lean penury within that pen doth dwell That to his subject lends not some small glory; But he that […]

The President joked during his speeches on Friday and Saturday that if people have lunch at his Mar-a-Lago club, “for $5,000, you’ll get one hamburger and a small dessert.” I think “let them eat cake,” was a more compassionate line.

Worked a particular piece of text in a scene with an #acting #coaching client. Material wasn't coming easily (some does, some requires more work), but by working it, breaking it down and finding where it is, and wants to go, it opened up and got vivid. #ActingCoach #ActingCoaching #actorslife

A six-year-old Chinese girl, Lian Yunzhi, broke the Rubik’s Cube world record this month, solving it in 4.27 seconds. American tech oligarchs warn that the US is falling behind in cube technology, and say, “you all gotta get on board with the cube or you’ll be left behind.”

Cattle were on the loose in downtown Kansas City Sunday morning, after a truck carrying 120 of them crashed and overturned on the highway. No word yet on whether the cattle are ok with this, or if they have beef.

The Associated Press reports Moscow agreed yesterday to resume three-way negotiations next month with Washington and Kyiv. There are reports of Putin is insisting on a reach-around. Ew.

The U.S. government this month awarded funds to restore the Alexander Hamilton museum on the island of Nevis. Hamilton was born there, and they’re not gonna miss their shot to fix up the room where it happened.
