I think I've been put on a list of Canadian theatre makers on BlueSky b/c theatre-adjacent people keep following me. I feel like they're going to be disappointed when I post almost exclusively about radical left organizing and God, two things the average theatre person doesn't want to talk about

During our final session, my therapist berated me mercilessly in order to undo any progress we’ve made on my mental health. She is retiring, and says this is standard practice, as my stability is legally her intellectual property.

The UCP government wants to starve out striking education support workers. We can’t let them get away with it! That’s why the AFL is asking union locals from across the province, and across the country, to “adopt” a striker. afl.org/action-pages...

I need an email autoresponder but instead of responding to emails it preempts people who are about to email me and says, Thomas is freshly sober and having a tough time, could this email to them be Gentler?

Saw someone say something like "so everyone's supposed to think and talk like an activist or organizer concerned with coalition building." My answer is: only if you actually care about winning and about things getting better. Comparing to people who don't have your goals or values is folly.

I put voting in the same category as petitions and form emails. It has very little impact but also takes very little effort. What makes it matter is when you organize your block, or your building, or your union to all do it together. Even then, it's the organizing itself that matters

The use of Czar as a title meaning Person In Charge Of, (Border Czar, Fentanyl Czar, etc) is deeply weird because the two implications that czar has for me are: 1. paranoid and violent autocrat, out of step with their age and 2. ineffectual and incompetent aristocrat failing to address problems
