I promise we said some very intelligent things about the actual critical readings of the play and the implications of the gender bending but nobody on this channel wants to read the 2.5 essays on The Tempest I wrote over the course of my English degree so I will just say that there is so much incredible joy in seeing queer people finally proudly taking the stage in Shakespeare. Because Shakespeare has for too long been taken and weaponised and sterilised by fucking straight white men. A lot of Shakespeare is INHERENTLY queer and messy and fun but that's not how we're used to thinking about it because whatever works at the stage of its creation is always at risk of being appropriated by those it wasn't made about or for.
In Shakespeare's time, a (cis) woman WOULDN'T have been on stage. All female roles were played by prepubescent boys. Theatre was too unclean for a woman (or a woman was too unclean for theatre, depends on how honest the person is being).
And today we saw a production with Prospero as a woman and a non-binary Ariel. And yes, le wokisme, but let me celebrate the small victory of the fact that we could.

There was another possible development: Reuters also reported that Ukraine said that Belarus could soon join the invasion of Ukraine. However, the AFP, citing a Pentagon official, said the U.S. hasn’t yet seen evidence that Belarusian troops are in Ukraine. Andrey, a Russian entrepreneur living in Brazil who, fearing retaliation, asked that NPR not use his last name, said Telegram has become one of the few places Russians can access independent news about the war. This provided opportunity to their linked entities to offload their shares at higher prices and make significant profits at the cost of unsuspecting retail investors. Telegram has gained a reputation as the “secure” communications app in the post-Soviet states, but whenever you make choices about your digital security, it’s important to start by asking yourself, “What exactly am I securing? And who am I securing it from?” These questions should inform your decisions about whether you are using the right tool or platform for your digital security needs. Telegram is certainly not the most secure messaging app on the market right now. Its security model requires users to place a great deal of trust in Telegram’s ability to protect user data. For some users, this may be good enough for now. For others, it may be wiser to move to a different platform for certain kinds of high-risk communications. Crude oil prices edged higher after tumbling on Thursday, when U.S. West Texas intermediate slid back below $110 per barrel after topping as much as $130 a barrel in recent sessions. Still, gas prices at the pump rose to fresh highs.
