"I love myself when I am laughing... and then again when I'm looking mean and impressive" -Zora Neale Hurston

grateful I get to escape this place with these lovely humans by my side. let's go 🔥
my partner Isaac ( @bird_dork ) is having his first reading of his first full length play!! hosted by @possiblefuturesbooks (🫶🏿) Sunday, Aug 3, 11am. a description of the piece is below. come out to support if you're around!! look at his lil face how can u say no to that
they're also still looking for a couple more readers! if you're able to be involved/want more info reach out to Isaac directly at [email protected] . Character descriptions are below; no need to be a specific demographic, anyone can read for either ❤️
Quick synopsis from the playwright: “In 13th century Germany, an old rabbi convinces his adult son to create a golem with him — a clay figure mystically imbued with the breath of life. Soon, though, it becomes apparent that the golem is the old rabbi's attempt at replacing his murdered wife.”
In Search Of:
•Jakob – A 40-year-old man, manipulated by his father and preparing for his first child after his wife had a miscarriage.
•The Golem - An enigmatic being that straddles divinity and dream. It only speaks in one scene.

got my first professional tattoo but it's actually two bc there was a sale
also I finished my second year of grad school ✨✨ every day I wake up and ask if this is my real life and every day the answer's still "lmao yeah isn't that wild?"
this year I: made my eyebrows match, pierced my tongue, traveled the country on Yale's dime, deepened my practice, said yes to things, said no to things, lived, laughed, loved, and only had a handful of breakdowns. grateful for the experiences this year and the growth I've undergone, terrified that it's almost over when it's basically just begun
tattoos bestowed at Union square @livebytheswordtattoo by Drew (thank you!!)

so I haven't posted in forever but I couldn't keep this one a secret... I'm going to grad school! for stage management! at mother frickin YALE! I'm gonna be absolutely sick, it feels unreal but it's deffo happening. in a few months I'll be moving to New Haven with the pictured goofus (his name is Isaac, he's very sweet) so if it's after August and you're wondering where I am, I'll be chin deep in studies 🫠 super grateful for the people and opportunities that have gotten me to this moment ❤️ I truly never could've imagined myself here but I'm so so glad. I've never been happier 😁
