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.

Sebi said data, emails and other documents are being retrieved from the seized devices and detailed investigation is in progress. As a result, the pandemic saw many newcomers to Telegram, including prominent anti-vaccine activists who used the app's hands-off approach to share false information on shots, a study from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue shows. Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee. Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care. Now safely in France with his spouse and three of his children, Kliuchnikov scrolls through Telegram to learn about the devastation happening in his home country.
