25 Cats From Qatar is an extraordinary documentary film from @catdaddiesmovie director @myemyes
@25catsfromqatar follows the journey of @sipandpurrmke Superwoman, Katy, who goes to Qatar to save some lucky felines who are being cared for by angels out of the goodness of their hearts. Yes, it takes a village and it starts with a passion and a mission. Mye and her team have flawlessly made us laugh and cry in the same breath. And may we all be as strong and driven to fight the homeless cat epidemic as Katy is- she sure Just DOES It!! Thank you to @the_original_trapking for hosting and bringing this to my attention. 😻🐈‍⬛🐈🙏
Please attend a screening and spread the word. They are adding more dates due to high demand. Save the Paws Across the World!😻😻😻🐾🐾🐾🐾

I’m finally doing it! After spending the past decade writing and rewriting my memoir HOLLYWOODN’T, I’ve decided to publish it myself on Substack. I will be telling my stories about coming out to Los Angeles when I was 18, about how there was more action on casting couches back then than in the movies, and how I dealt with it all. Reflecting back on the choices and I made, the situations I found myself in, and how it shaped who I am today, I am interested in getting into some honest conversations about how much has changed… or hasn’t in the world we are in today. I will be starting a podcast on @substack as well, where I will be reading my book and having occasional guest and commentators as well. I appreciate the interest and support for those who decide to become paying subscibers. I certainly have stories to tell.

After obsessing over the instagram account @70sdinnerparty and throwing my own grotesque dinner parties, I finally put my absurd passion into my very first solo show ever: SEVENTIES DINNER PARTY. Yes! The first WIP showing is this Sunday, November 24, 5pm at @pda_space 🤡✨

What to expect from SEVENTIES DINNER PARTY? A very ~sane and put together~ dinner party with a boogie, of course. I’m thrilled and terrified and super amped for it. This WIP wouldn’t have happened without the brilliant @clairewoolner and her SHOLO SOW workshop, complete with my brilliant sholo sow clown cohorts. Even more brilliance from @tlrblk with an original theme song, @annalise_gehling with choreography, and @theluckybenson with animated graphics 🍌🌭🥬🥫🪩🕺🏼😈✨

Please come for a silly, strange, and vulnerable time! If you want a full day of silly, strange, and vulnerable art—who wouldn’t?!—pretty please come to the earlier solo shows! Seriously, all of these clowns/performers are beautiful and inspiring geniuses. Ticket link in bio 🌈

Guys… I’m trying a couple WIP bits for my first ever solo 🤡 show tentatively titled “TRASH ME BABY.” It would warm my heart to have my buddies there as well as complete strangers. It’s gonna be wet and wild… and you might be accosted (but with consent… maybe). Come watch me fail big time. 💋 (tix in the bio). Pay what ya can.

ALSO! It’s a class show for @clairewoolner ‘s SHOLO CLASS (I HIGHLY recommend). Got some other wonderful performers (my fellow classmates) on the bill. They have some cool/sexy/inspiring/vulnerable bits in store for ya! Come for all or come for specific slots. Either way… prepare yourself for stupidity. Cause it’s gonna be dumb. No doubt. @pda_space

[76of100] ✨Jessica Simes grew up in a racially divided community in Los Angeles, where she observed firsthand how white supremacy informs racial segregation. These early experiences ignited her passion for social justice ✊🏽, ultimately guiding her career toward rectifying racial and social inequalities. Now an assistant professor of sociology at Boston University 📚, Jessica directs her efforts toward unraveling the complexities of mass incarceration and prison conditions through her pioneering research.🗣️

Inspired by the teachings of Angela Davis, a renowned Black prison abolition activist, Jessica shifted her focus of study toward mass incarceration. She delved into how empirical data 📊 could drive social change and policy reform. Earning her M.A. and Ph.D. 🎓 in sociology from Harvard University, Jessica has since dedicated her career to exposing the geographical and racial disparities within the American prison system. 👏 Her influential book, "Punishing Places: The Geography of Mass Imprisonment in America," 📖 highlights the stark racial disproportionality in incarceration rates across over 3,000 counties. Her research underscores the profound impact of incarceration on communities 🏘️, affecting everything from labor force participation to family stability and overall community health. By collaborating with activists and organizations 🤝, Jessica aims to bridge the gap between research and real-world application, advocating for ethical and data-driven reforms in criminal justice policy. ⚖️💛
