I'm a theater kid
I was a theater kid...
And the other theater kids at my school were assholes that gave me the shittiest parts in plays because I was poor.
I wish Opsec would allow you to tell me where you're from so I can avoid that place forever. Every time you talk about the people you know it sounds like you might be posting from hell?
Stay away from the Bay Area and probably a hundred mile radius all around it, just to be sure. Palo Alto is pretty terrible, and don't get me started about Manteca.

Too late actually took a family vacation to San Francisco when I was like 16. That was actually a nice trip though :( But I guess it must be different living there. Or maybe the surrounding area is worse than the city? Idk.
San Francisco used to be nice, but
made sure to change that with as much subsidy money as he could shovel to his fellow rich sex predators as possible.Or maybe the surrounding area is worse than the city? Idk.
It was back then, and it still is now. For some reason living in San Francisco's shadow means getting more than a bunch of car pollution; there's cultural pollution too.
My trip was after Clinton.
But I guess the city that produced Pelosi and Feinstein can't be as nice as my childhood memories remember it being :(
But idk I live in MA and on a government level yeah its libs all the way down but its a relatively nice place to live and I really dont know many people as demonic as the people you describe in your life lol. One racist uncle is pretty much it. And the highschool I went to in New Hampshire was a lot better than most people's highschool experiances. Maybe I'm just really lucky idk.

I won't ask for exact years, but turning San Francisco from a surprisingly low-rent and culturally rich town to a neoliberal fortress of arrogance took a few decades to reach its current state. There were still nice things at the turn of the century and beyond, only slowly being pushed out by gentrification and Silicon Valley startups doing a localized Manifest Destiny by crowding everyone else out wherever possible.
I have a lot of bigoted biological family members and I'm not far from the "Bible Belt of California" where you'll know you're there by all the banners strewn along the farm roads talking about "water rights" and other chud buzzwords like that. Basically, there was an attempt to restore some wetlands as far south as the San Joaquin Valley and the reactionary rage about that among farmer chuds never ended.
Its fine I can say when. It would have been around 2005.
Its funny my city has like the opposite problem with wetlands. Conservative NIMBYs who don't want more poor people here try to fight housing development by citing wetlands, even though they're full of shit.
The weather is never good, if you read the local papers. There's always some rich farmers complaining about it, be it too much rain, too much sun, whatever it takes to demand more coddling from this ostensibly "blue" state.
Chanting about water is like chanting about being "tough on crime." It doesn't need to result in changes, even bad changes, but chuds will line up for it and vote anyway.
Yeah, I don’t get the theater kid hatred. The theater kids in my school were spread pretty evenly across other cliques. Reading these comments you’d think all theater kids are basically Sharpay from HSM
Yeah my experience with drama club when I joined senior year (i tried joining freshman year, but little me was afraid of the goths and still a little unsure about gay people, I got over that quickly but still didnt go back until senior year) was that it was like its own seperate sub-clique that had people from different groups in it. I mostly liked it there and they were mostly nice to me, the autistic kid, so it was a good experience. No idea about their politics though.
ME TOO, but i mostly did stagecraft, and costuming, and stage makeup and spoken word poetry.
My bf is a theater kid and he's a great guy but the rest of the theater kids around him are rich manipulative bullies. That's the end of my experience with theater kids.
