Lizzie the musical and Macbeth

I think it would be fun to talk about some parallels between Lizzie and Macbeth!

“Fire burn and toil / kettle bubble, water boil”, echoing the famous rhyme. Bridget as a weird sister, making tea and planting the seed of murder in Lizzie’s mind.

For Lady Macbeth, King Duncan’s resemblance to her father stops her from murdering him in his sleep; for Lizzie, this…is not an issue.

In WTF Now, Lizzie?!, Emma grapples with a key question arising out of the murders and we get:

“Now I got twice the trouble /  Got two for one!”; multiples of two notably abound in Macbeth, e.g. in “double, double toil and trouble”; “he’s here in double trust”; “all our service / in every point twice done and then done double / were poor and single business”; “these juggling fiends…that palter with us in a double sense” (and of course Emma chants, “what the fuck now, Lizzie?!” 4 x 8 times for a total of 32 times and this is the product of two squared and two cubed.)

“A foolish thought, to say a sorry sight” – Lady Macbeth says these exact words!

Compare Lizzie: “My hands are red but I wear a heart so white” vs Lady Macbeth: “My hands are of your colour [red! they are covered in blood because she’s just been handling the daggers her husband used to murder the king], but I shame / To wear a heart so white” – I read “white” as used by Lizzie as meaning “pure” or “blameless”, but by Lady Macbeth as meaning “pale with fear”.

“Who would have thought the old man [to have] had so much blood in him?” – Lady Macbeth again!!

“What’s done is done but there’s a knocking at the gate” – this is reminiscent of what Lady Macbeth says to her husband (at least) twice: “Things without all remedy / Should be without regard; what’s done, is done”; “give me your hand; what’s done cannot be undone.”

“Gotta clean up the scene, gotta act like we’re normal” – basically the Macbeths’ entire vibe after Duncan’s death.

Lady Macbeth famously struggles with getting a good night’s rest after the murders; Lizzie, of course, sleeps in sweet satisfaction.

#i just think this is neat! #and of course both women utilised girl power effectively #act 2 scene 2 my beloved #lizzie the musical #macbeth #lady macbeth #shakespeare #ps if anyone’s in london i highly recommend the indira varma and ralph fiennes production #it’s on till 30 march 2024 and then moving to washington!

SJW leftist-types can’t ever be normal about race whilst trying to convince us they care about racism. A white woman who makes paintings of white women is just called a ‘female artist’ while a woman who isn’t white has to be ‘POC Black/Brown BIPOC female-presenting artist making historic paintings of women who look like her’ and they’ll look you in the eye as they masculinize every black woman they come across, sounding no less different to their ancestors.

They also get strangely offended at someone (typically a white person) saying they don’t see color or that they treat everyone equally. But are totally fine with saying their over sued virtue-signaling phrases like “strong black woman” and lumping in “poor people/people of color” like everyone who is poor is a POC or that being born a POC is the same as being poor. How offensive.

Like, people genuinely not seeing color is my ancestors where begging to hear, and now that we can have worldwide rights the whites who think they are special can infiltrate our spaces and make people who genuinely aren’t racist look like demons for saying the most anti-racist things that were the center of the original anti-racist movement. So now people are going to be more racist towards us as the result of such annoying tone policing. It’s like they get mad that other people aren’t stereotyping black people like they are and genuinely don’t make everything about race. But they don’t even realize they are the ones making everything about race, and stereotyping us in he first place. Calling every black woman and man you see “strong” and “brave” is just as stereotypical as calling us hoes and thugs, and the first one has a deeper history of slavery anyways.

#Most of the white women who spew this bs are usually jealous of us black women anyways which is why they get mad if you saw that black women #Are soft and feminine they go crazy. They just want us to be uglier than the and be masculine like their assless ancestors #black femininity #black radfems #tehf #Black girls are soft #Black women are soft and feminine #Strong black woman = field slave complements #black princess #Leftist racism #leftist antisemitism #The people who are sjw leftist almost always have racist grandparents or family members while anti political centrists or even conservative #Tend to be from far less racist families #It’s like they rebel against how they were raised by going from one extreme obsession with race to another #At least the right wing racists don’t preach to Blake people about how we should see the world #Never forget they started the riots in 2020 and would probably call the march on Washington ‘grifting’ or one of their other buzzwords #radblr

«Affirmation and work does not stop with this march on Washington. Each of us has a responsibility to take this struggle back to her and his community translated into daily action. [...] Let us carry this solidarity that we are professing here today back with us into our everyday lives tomorrow and the day after and next week and next year. And let it be reflecting in a renewed commitment to a struggle for a future where we can all flourish, for not one of us will ever be free until we are all free.» – Audre Lorde (from her speech, audio here)

Stolen from a local to Washington, DC, USA.

If you are near SCOTUS/Capitol w/ a sudden need to leave:

Either direction on First St NE gets you to a Metro station. Union & NoMA to the north & Capitol South below.

SE on Pennsylvania Ave takes you to a Metro, urgent care, & a foot route out of the city.

West on Independence passes the Smithsonian Metro & it takes you to the Arlington Memorial bridge among other foot paths out of the city.

There are no hospitals within walking distance.

Bring a friend. Leave your phone at home. Mask up. Stay hydrated. Know your rights, your best exits, and what's going on around you.

For January 2019 alone, they list the Political Meeting at St Kilda Beach in Melbourne, which escalated in violent clashes between protestors and counter-protestors, the March for Life and the Women's March, both in Washington DC.

Was just in the ye olde multi-stall all gender bathroom and i saw a middle aged woman make her husband stand directly outside the stall holding her stuff while she peed. I think if more straight middle aged women understood this was a possibility with gender neutral bathrooms, theyd be marching on washington to get one built in every mall in america

Major coordinated demonstrations took place across the world on Saturday to mark the 100th day of Israel's bombardment and military assault on the people of the Gaza Strip that have now claimed the lives of nearly 24,000 Palestinians, a large majority of them innocent men, women, and children who had nothing to do with the attacks orchestrated by Hamas on October 7 of last year.

In London, as many as 500,000 people marched on Parliament Square to demand an immediate cease-fire Gaza, condemn their own U.K. government's support of Israel's disproportionate and "genocidal" onslaught, and warn against a wider regional war that experts warn is creeping closer by the day.[...]

In Dublin, organizers of a march that saw more than 100,000 march through city streets called it the largest rally for Palestinian rights in Irish history.[...]

The crowd was filled with Palestinian flags, posters calling for an "End to the Gaza genocide" as well as makeshift washing lines, with baby clothes hanging from it, representing the many young lives lost in the conflict.

At the front of the march, four people held mock corpses in bloody body bags to represent the growing number of civilian casualties.

In the United States, tens of thousands marched in Washington, D.C. to denounce the Israeli onslaught—which has claimed over 23,000 lives, including more than 10,000 children—as well as their own government's complicity in the carnage. President Joe Biden was on the tip of many demonstrators' tongues and polls in the U.S. have shown very little support across the political spectrum for how he is handling the situation.[...]

Following the march, demonstrators left a pile of bloodied baby dolls, including severe parts, in a pile outside the White House as a message to Biden. "The blood of the over 10,000 murdered children in Gaza is on his hands," said CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans.

Meanwhile, in Indonesia, thousands gathered outside the U.S. embassy in Jakarta to condemn the ongoing "genocide" in Gaza perpetrated by Israel with the backing of the U.S. government and other Western allies.

Large protests were also held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as well as in the South African cities of Cape Town and Johannesburg. [...]

Cities in Israel were not among those holding large-scale demonstrations against the government's ongoing military campaign in Gaza. One application by Israelis for a rally in Haifa to denounce the onslaught was rejected.
