"The tragic events in #Sydney on the first day of #Chanukah highlight the need for #Jewish communities to be protected by effective #security. And here in the #UK many Jewish communities are supported by the vital work of the Community Security Trust (#CST).

In January a group of talented Jewish #comedians are coming together to support the CST for The Big #Jewish #Comedy Gala at the #London’s #Theatre Royal Haymarket on Sunday 11 January 2026, an evening celebrating leading #Jewishcomedians, following a series of high-profile cancellations on the UK comedy circuit and the wider entertainment and the #boycott of Jewish #performers." 🇬🇧💼

My friend, Ginger Kittens(Sarah) of our local #CheesecakeBurlesqueRevue troupe, is an amazing woman. She's overcome many traumas & uplifted herself. A graduate of UVIC women's studies, longtime #PEERSVictoria support worker & advocate for legalized #SexWork.
We were threatened by local VicPD & bullied by Conservative jerks after doing a #RedUmbrella annual memorial rally to support #SexWorkers & to honour all sex workers lives lost & to demand those cases get investigated & to demand a stop to marginalization of sex workers.

"In the #Jewish #popculture sphere, 2025 was a year of pretty explicit #Jewishness. #Judaism, its prayers and its rituals were meaningfully featured on multiple TV shows and movies. #Performers explored their own Jewishness #onscreen for millions of viewers. New and old #Jewish stars showed up on fashion’s most prestigious runways and on repeat in our earbuds.

Which of course means it was unbelievably difficult to whittle down all those Jewish pop culture moments into a finite list."

Antisemitism training and a donation. Where the museum trip at? :fozzie_wocka_wocka:

"#OiVaVoi’s statement added: “What has been particularly disappointing is the lack of solidarity from fellow #artists and the wider #music industry.

“In the wake of what was seen by many as #antisemitic rhetoric from certain acts, many artists were quick to sign letters highlighting the importance of free expression.

“Yet the silence around cancellations of Oi Va Voi and other #Jewish #performers – #British and #Israeli – has been deafening.

“The readiness of venues, promoters and festivals to cave in to demands that exclude Jewish artists, and the lack of attention from the music press when this does happen, has contributed to an environment which has allowed #antiJewish #racism in #Britain to persist largely unchallenged."

Hosted by PINDN and Wes Carroll A #CommieBop is an expression of freedom, verve, and solidarity. Share yours with us—let’s bask in the liberating imagination of our city!
Sign Up Via Google Forums or at 6:45pm before the event. Doors: 6pm Event: 7pm - 10pm Performer sign up: https://forms.gle/kXjoJbyf155p1ktY9

All proceeds go to Awi'nakola: Tree of Life Foundation A Commie Bop is freedom in motion—a song, a poem, a spell, a skit, a dance against the grind of #colonial #capitalism. It’s where creativity smashes exploitation, where solidarity squeezes alienation, and where we (yes, we, the ridiculous and unruly) celebrate our collective fire. This is a space to howl #anticapitalist anthems, share art that bites back, and honor past and future generations. #Leftist debates? Vital. But tonight we revel in the kaleidoscope of our movement, checking our purity test kits at the door with our hearts open to each other’s stories. We have license to be silly little peasants! Think Carnival mocking lords and kings…

#OpenMic Sets: Your offering does NOT need to involve a complex analysis - our day-to-day experiences put us into the crosshairs of capitalism’s contradictions. Sets should be 10 minutes or less. Please explain why you chose or wrote what you’re sharing. #Performers are encouraged to make space for audience participation - teach us your chorus, wrangle us into your skit, add call and response, or bring up Alice to play the tambourine or the triangle.

All acts should, in their own unique way, call for an end to exploitation and discrimination. This space celebrates dignity. Check lyrics for oppressive language (racist, sexist, ableist, SWERFS, TERFS, etc.). We fight systems, not each other. Please respect the venue.

We will save five sets as first come first serve before the event and open up the rest for folks who wish to register via Google Forms. NOT READY YET? Join the crowd, soak up the vibes, and cook something up for next time.

“The controversy around the “AI actor” Tilly Norwood continues to grow, after the #actors’ union Sag-Aftra condemned the development and said Norwood’s creators were “using #stolen #performances”.

Sag-Aftra released a statement after the AI “talent studio” Xicoia unveiled its creation at the #ZurichFilmFestival, prompting an immediate backlash from actors including Melissa Barrera, Mara Wilson and Ralph Ineson. Sag-Aftra said it believed creativity was, “and should remain, #HumanCentred. The #Union is opposed to the replacement of human #performers by synthetics.”

The “tell” is in the eyes (iris) and wispy hair.

The right has long self-identified as the protector of free speech, except when that speech has to do with race, gender, sexuality, queerness, science, (non-Christian) religion, and anything else the Trump regime deems seditious, such as being critical of the government.

Four plaintiffs—Rhode Island Latino Arts, National Queer Theater, The Theater Offensive and Theatre Communications Group—sued federal officials following the signing of an executive order which directed the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to disfavor grant applications that “promote gender ideology.” Artists, represented by the ACLU, argued this provision violated the First Amendment, the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), and the Fifth Amendment.
