Note from the poster @el-shab-hussein: Yes, the call for an end to an apartheid regime is against Doug Ford and Ontario's values. That's because they continue an apartheid regime wherein Indigenous people are second class citizens under white settler Canadians. It is my personal opinion, unlike that of this newspaper, that Jama did not need to address the Hamas attack that left 1200 zionist settlers dead, 1100 of which were active duty combat soldiers, and 100 of which were reserve army soldiers off-duty, when the victims of the attacks on Ghazzah have not been mentioned by any elected Conservative (or Liberal)

I think this really embodies what that actress Michelle Rodriguez was talking about; it’s fine to blind cast, but that’s not the same has having actual roles written about your actual race. Inclusion doesn’t end at the casting table.

Trying to figure out whether I wanted to tag this Hamilton or Les Miserables was a struggle.

(thank you to the person who pointed out that Admiral Fitzwallace should have been in here–you were 100% right, so here’s the version with him)

I know others have said this before me and better than I possibly could, and I know most of you don’t need to hear this. But I’m going to say it anyway. 

Lin-Manuel Miranda is the kindest, most generous, most amazingly good-hearted and amazing in general human being and the best we could ever ask for in a creator. Lin-Manuel Miranda spent six years writing and composing an amazing, groundbreaking musical and now he stars in it and goes on shows like Jeopardy and The Tonight Show promoting it while writing music for a Disney movie and fucking Star Wars and being a husband and father to a one-year-old. And despite being ridiculously busy at all times, he still makes the time to: 

Lin-Manuel Miranda doesn’t have to do any of this. He does it because he wants to. Because that’s how sweet he is. Interacting with the fandom should be a positive experience. We owe him that. 

We need to be appreciative and grateful that we have such an amazing creator. I’ve honestly never seen a creator interact with fandom as positively as he does. We should constantly be aware of what an amazing gift this is. To almost all of the fandom, all this entails is thinking about just how unbelievably great this all is and reminding ourselves to appreciate it, which most of us do automatically anyway. 

But sometimes we’re frustrated by things. And in those cases, a few of us need to remember that there are a lot of issues Lin can’t do anything about and that it does no good to get mad at him over them. No one should be receiving that kind of vicious anger, let alone someone who literally cannot do anything to fix the problem. 

Also, just a reminder to please not post RPF of the actors in the Hamilton-Miranda tag on AO3. It’s happened once that I know of and it made me uncomfortable, I can’t imagine how Lin or one of the others would feel if they saw it. 

Be aware of your role as a fandom. Take a step back and remind yourself how unprecedented everything about this show is, from a hip-hop musical about Founding Fathers starring people of color, to the ham4ham shows, to the level of interaction we’re able to have with the creator. Lin-Manuel Miranda has shown us an incredible amount of love and respect. Please show him the same. 

hi everyone if ur a fan of Hamilton pls read this it’s important:

since the lottery is becoming digital, if u don’t live in new york or you KNOW you can’t see the show that day, PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP FOR IT

it’s the biggest dick move ever to be like “hahaha lemme just enter my name in for fun!!1!” when u can’t go actually go. DO NOT DO THAT because:

1) if you win you take away the opportunity from someone who actually has the accessibility to see the show 2) too many people doing the lottery = lowers the chances of winning. it’s one thing if there’s a lot of people that sign up, but it’s another if half of those people literally live on the other side of the country. why would you want to disrupt that balance? 3) too many people entering can actually crash the server

and this goes for ANY online lottery. just. please don’t be that asshole that puts ur name in for fun when you can’t see the show like that is just such a shitty thing to do pls Do Not. Also don’t put your name in twice or make separate emails because you will be disqualified from entering and again it disrupts the balance. And this isn’t just me telling you this is a known thing and Lin doesn’t want you to do it either alright ok good #yayhamlet friends

dude they did another one !!!
