I’m a professor, and the semester begins on Tuesday. Part of my job is to prepare 18-22 for the world and their future. And honest to God - looking at the chaos, the cruelty, the insanity - I don’t know how to do that part of the job anymore. #AcademicSky

As some of you know, I wrote a very raw and brutally honest play that absolutely terrifies me. I submitted it to a festival, and it was accepted. I’m committed to the path. Bravery in the arts is good, right? Right?!?! Oh fuck. 🤦‍♂️ #TheatreSky

This war is spreading so quickly you’d think an archduke had been shot.
