My therapist and I decided that from now on, when I’m thinking something negative about myself, I’m going to imagine that Donald Trump is saying it, because it’s really easy for me to just tell him to fuck off.

Example:

Trump: “Your thighs are fat.” Me: “Fuck you and your fucking wall.”

I think we’re onto something here.

If you were going to direct a production of Hamlet, what's an unusual interpretation or decision you would put into your production?

The play-within-a-play is replaced by a complete performance of Love’s Labours Lost, the play within that is replaced by a complete performance of Midsummer Night’s Dream, the play within that is replaced by a complete performance of Hamlet, the doors are locked and the cycle of plays-within-plays continues until everyone in the audience and all the performers are dead.

Today Harry James Potter is sitting at his desk, avoiding the date on the calendar as much as he can, each quill he holds breaks because he’s gripping it too tightly. 

Today Ginny Potter runs into work out of breathe because Harry forgot to wake her up and she is so late. She takes a second to situate herself and catch her breathe when the daily prophet lands with a thud on her desk and the date on the page nearly burns into her skin. 

Today Ron Weasley refuses to come into work. He spends the day kissing Rose and Hugo as often as they let him. He visits his Mum and his brother, because even if they say otherwise, he knows they need him.

Today Hermione Weasley-Granger keeps stoic as tiny disputes over land enter the court, it’s only during her lunch break does she go into a stall and sob for those who didn’t get to live to see what constitutes a “real issue” these days. 

Today Neville Longbottom visits his parents with Hannah by his side; he retells the story of what happened 18 years ago to them like he does every year. Alice squeezes his hand through every moment of it. 

Today Draco Malfoy watches Scorpius play outside with one of his dozens of brooms. He watches his child’s face light up as he smiles, racing to catch the snitch that is always just a bit out of reach. The scars on his chest twinge as he swears that he will never allow his son to make the same mistakes he did.

Today Luna Scamander is in the jungles of Brazil accompanied by her husband and two young sons. She watches as pixies jump from branch to branch, and her eyes sparkle with amusement as one of them lands on Lysander who giggles at her touch and tries to grab at the creature with his chubby fists. 

Today Dennis Creevey closes his shop for the day. He apparates to his home and looks at the picture of his brother laughing. Why he grew old and Colin didn’t he will never truly understand.

It’s the third most popular Instagram in the Resistance. The second is Leia’s official account which she uses almost entirely to post VINTAGE pics of the Resistance leaders: space poncho Luke napping in the Falcon, C-3PO braiding Leia’s hair, Han on the beach looking suspiciously post-coital (Ben, when he was still Ben, just commented on this, “MOM”).

The first most popular is Chewbacca’s. It’s nothing but selfies. The Wookie knows his best angles.
