tell me which edfringe shows are by playwrights who write for themselves unpaid while working a day job to survive. I want to see those ones

sad to see River City ending. another route into tv for Scottish writers, actors, and other creatives, just closed off

writing is just swinging wildly between "I'm a genius, you don't deserve my power" and "I'm a talentless boor playing with alphabet spaghetti"

Adolescence on Netflix is scarier than any horror movie I've seen

the amount of unpaid labour expected in theatre should honestly shock people. but because it disproportionately sidelines minorities who can’t afford to work for free, it’s normalised and seen as part of paying your dues…

how I feel seeing a pret on leith walk

The three co-directors of F-Bomb Theatre, Sally, Rachel and Kirsten. They are smiling at someone off camera, sat down, wearing pink and red clothes. The backdrop is pink tinsel.

It’s been four years today since we launched this company as students…where did the time go? Since 2021 we’ve had three Fringe shows, won a Fringe First, launched our talent database, started the FemiFringe Guide, and have some fully funded projects in the pipeline 🩷 Happy birthday F-Bomb! 🥳🎂

anyway where’s my prozac

confused furby dissociating

on a call with a potential client when they start talking about how everyone’s too dependent on prescription meds and people are too proud of being “disabled” and the limitation is just within themselves 😬😬😬😬😬

Just SO much blaming of autoimmune disease, cancer etc on lack of self-love

Tell it to my genetics

A yoga teacher I went to interview told me not to do cardio because “we only get so many breaths in life and you breathe too quickly when you’re running”

Somewhat unrelated because I left the industry at this point but my Mum DIED and my sister’s co-worker gave her an essential oil called GRIEF

Boss asked me to write an article on “why not to wear sunscreen”

I refused. ma’am I’m not being responsible for more melanomas

Colleagues literally going to the cafe to eat a brownie in secret

We were discouraged from eating more than 1/2 a banana at a time. The other 1/2 had to wait 💀

A tray of fresh Queensland mangoes was sent to the office. Cue office discussions if we could eat them due to the sugar content. MANGOES.

The company I worked for had a lovely interview with Belle scheduled to publish the week it came out that it was all a scam

Safe to say it stayed in drafts

you liked Apple Cider Vinegar? I lived it lol - I worked in the Australian wellness industry the same time everything with Belle Gibson blew up

A thread of the most insane moments 🧵

I was lightly involved in a couple of orgs' CS applications this year, and the work, consideration & creativity that goes into them can't be underestimated. These folk have toiled for an unconfirmed future that mobilises art to celebrate, interrogate & build. A future we need, ALL of us.
