Macbeth | William Shakespeare

Judge Tatel is asking all of his questions in poetic meter. Give this man some kind of prize. This is great. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

CocoReads That‘s awesome. I vaguely recall a west wing episode that had a judge (one of the supremes?) doing something similar. 6y

GingerAntics @CocoReads that sounds familiar for some reason. I‘m going to have to go rewatch that episode now. Maybe it‘s this guy!!! 6y

CocoReads I was thinking about trying to figure out which one it was too 6y

Macbeth | William Shakespeare

“The single greatest witch hunt in Scottish history.”
“It was Lady Macbeth‘s taunts that threatened Macbeth‘s fragile masculinity, maybe he has small hands.”
Lady Macbeth is a “nasty woman.”
“His promise to drain the bog.”
“Macbeth is a climate change denier. You can‘t blame climate change on the sisters.”
“New to government...let‘s look at his tweets.”

🤣😂🤣 This is brilliant!!! 🤣😂🤣

julesG Still have to watch this. 6y

GingerAntics @Gezemice this is so funny!!! I really love this one judge that was in both of the trials @Lcsmcat posted. He is clearly having so much fun with these. 6y

GingerAntics @julesG totally worth watching 6y

GingerAntics 🤣😂🤣 “Macbeth is a bad hombre.” 🤣😂🤣 mansplaining...”fake news.” THIS IS JUST SO GOOD!!! 🤣😂🤣 Gender stereotypes. “They have to work double double toil time for less pay.” 🤣😂🤣 6y

Gezemice @GingerAntics Thanks for the tag, I must watch it! Sounds hilarious! 6y

GingerAntics @Gezemice this one is almost better than the Twelfth Night mock trial. If you‘re a Trump fan you probably won‘t like it, though. 6y

Gezemice @GingerAntics I am watching it, it is hilarious! I just got to the double toil for less pay 😂😂 Oh, what made you think I was a Trump fan? 6y

GingerAntics @Gezemice oh no, I honestly haven‘t found a trump fan on here yet (thank god). You just never know. It‘s always people you least expect that are suddenly all “isn‘t he just great” and I feel like I‘m about to bite my tongue off and I‘m trying to figure out how said person has gone so delusional. I even know someone who refused to vote for him, and then suddenly started worshiping at the orange alter. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️❓ 6y

GingerAntics @Gezemice I think I just have a form of political PTSD from all this insanity, so I always just put the warning out there just in case. 6y

Gezemice @GingerAntics Yeah, I know, but I don‘t think Litsy is the place Trump fans are comfortable hanging out at. You gotta read here! And if you read... you will know. Unless you stick with Ann Coulter, of course, which I am sure is possible... In any case, I finished it, it was fun, thanks for posting! 6y

GingerAntics @Gezemice good point...I‘m sure there are a few of them around somewhere. I‘ve known some otherwise incredibly educated and well read people who just adore him (mostly because they have money and know he‘ll make them pay less taxes), so you just never know. 6y

GingerAntics @Gezemice I‘m glad you enjoyed it. @Lcsmcat found them. I‘m definitely going to have to look into more of these. They‘ve done two a year for (what did they say at the beginning?) 20, 25 years or something like that. Definitely need to check them all out. 6y

Gezemice @GingerAntics Yeah, I am gonna look at Twelfth Night but only after I am finished 6y

GingerAntics @Gezemice yeah, I‘d finish the play first. I don‘t think the case will really give anything away as long as you‘ve gotten through the 4th act, but both the 4th and 5th acts are really short, so you might as well finish it first. 6y

Twelfth Night | William Shakespeare

Wow, this was just hilarious. I never thought I‘d laugh at anything aired on C-SPAN. 🤣😂🤣 Plus, if a lawyer can drop in THAT many pop culture references AND give a rebuttal in inambic pentameter, she deserves the win. Just saying.

Lcsmcat I thought she stole the show on this one. 6y

GingerAntics @Lcsmcat I completely agree. I laughed so many times during her portion. The other guy kind of fell flat after her performance. 💙💙💙 6y

GingerAntics @readinginthedark what‘s the next play we‘re doing? I get paid on Wednesday and I need to get a copy of the next play. I can‘t remember if we said Henry or another play and then Henry. (edited) 6y

readinginthedark Sorry, um...let me double check my notes! I'll email you guys tonight! 6y

TheBookHippie I was wondering too!! @readinginthedark 6y

TheBookHippie Hilarious !!!! The best!! 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @GingerAntics Hey, save your money...they are all free in the public domain. You can download them on Project Gutenberg (ebook) or if you prefer audio librivox...or in little installments Serial Reader has most of them. 6y

GingerAntics @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I know. I have a public domain version of the next play, but I like the footnotes and additional essays in the RSC editions. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @GingerAntics Oh gotcha...those are very nice. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @GingerAntics What is the next play? 6y

GingerAntics @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Henry IV part 1. We‘re trying to decide if we should do them one after the other since there are just a few hours at the most between the end of part one and the beginning of part two. 6y

GingerAntics @Riveted_Reader_Melissa they‘re my favourite editions of Shakespeare 6y

GingerAntics @Riveted_Reader_Melissa the one I had to do on Librivox was weird. I swear one guy called in to do hi performance on his cell phone. I usually get the BBC Radio 4 audio plays from my library. They just didn‘t have that one. I can‘t remember now if it was winter‘s tale or the one before that. 6y

Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud: The Rise and Reign of the Unruly Woman | Anne Helen Petersen

My #LetsHyggeSwap package from @Captivatedbybooks was delivered today! I'm super excited to unwrap it on 9/20.

Also pictured are my #CurrentReads : #WhatHappened by #HRC & #TooFatTooSluttyTooLoud by #AnneHelenPetersen :

#Buzzfeed writer Petersen offers an accessible, analytical look at #opinionated, brazen, #unruly #femalecelebrities and how they are pushing the boundaries of what it means to be an “acceptable” woman. | #Feminism #ImwithHer

BibliophileMomma

Jess7 This post also works for Day 19: #Stranger - #AwesomeAutumnBooks because the first page excerpt of this book (pictured above) discusses the writer's experience with #strangers on Election Day when they congratulated her for exercising her #civicduty by voting for the first woman presidential candidate of the United States (edited) 7y

Jess7 If any of my fellow Littens missed #HRC live on #CSPAN discussing the 2016 election and her new book #WhatHappened : I think you can go to CSPAN's website and watch the video tomorrow. I saw an advertisement after the broadcast that said events aired on their show over the past 30 years are available on their website. 7y

What Happened | Hillary Rodham Clinton

This is happening...

Jess7 She spoke on #CSPAN tonight regarding her book and the election. 7y

Julz422 I'm so glad that she is speaking out. I wouldn't blame her for just laying low for a while but she's so freaking strong and the real deal. So far it's like she's speaking right to us and my heart aches for her and our country 7y

Just reading the author's note made me tear up. Lump in my throat.
