The Ruby

Hi! If you haven’t heard the news - well - sit down. Because this is some news. Classic story. Theater of kooky art kids and drama nerds who love making people laugh find out that their building is getting demolished. And turned into condos. They say WUT. BUT WE BUILT THIS PLACE OUT OF THE LOVE IN OUR HEARTS FOR A COMMUNITY OF WOMEN POC LGBTQ+ FOLKS AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. FOLX THAT REALLY NEED IT. And The Man says Money money money I love money. Such a total The ...Man thing to say. So the kooky comedians think and they think and they say WELP. We gotta move. So they start measuring things and The Man comes in and says You need money to move. And he twirled his mustache. And left through a drainpipe in the floor. Which is such a The Man way to leave a conversation. So the total kooks think some more. And they say Hey-maybe our community would help us out? And they write and shoot and edit a gofundme video in about one week. And they send it out to all of their friends. And they hope that everyone can donate and/or share the message to #keeptherubylaalive And then they said - link in comments. The End. TL:DR - we have to move and need to raise money via a gofundme. If we don’t raise the money we’ll need to close. And also the link is in the comments.

OMG. Y’ALL. OUR FIRST FEMALE VICE PRESIDENT. OUR FIRST SOUTH ASIAN VICE PRESIDENT. OUR FIRST BLACK VICE PRESIDENT. FUCK. THESE ARE SO MANY TEARS.

Wait a second. It smells like sexism’s been here. @localdemocrazy

@staceyabrams is a #queen and don’t you ever fucking forget it.

Y’all #sale announcement! If you buy a spot in our #tiktok workshop or #screenwriting class today - we’ll send you a code for a friend to take this class too. For free. In some cultures it’s called #bogo or buy one get one. There are only a few spots available. So get in there bbs.

Aye there are bits and pieces of good news in this election. And this is a big one. @ajplus This 27-year-old Black, queer, progressive newcomer just made history in Oklahoma.... Mauree Turner won the election for state House in Oklahoma’s 88th district, making them the first Muslim person elected to the state’s Legislature. Turner uses she and they pronouns. #MaureeTurner #Oklahoma #Muslim #Nonbinary

Witches - how can we support you? What do we need to burn? Is the answer to that second question it all down?

We’re doing an election night hang at 6:30 pm (pst) tonight for anyone who wants to pop in and ponder life’s futility while eating 3,000 chocolate chip cookies. Or whatever you’re coping mechanism is. Link in the bio gurl.

Yo yo yo - On Friday we opened up submissions for our digital sketch teams! If you’ve completed our Comedic Content class OR you were on a Ruby LA house sketch team as of September of 2019, you are tooootalllyyy eligible to submit. You can learn more at that link in comments.

Basically it’s like #tiktok for #dummies But at the end of this workshop you’ll have made three dope vids. #swish

Advice is not equivalent to sweat equity. You are not actually contributing. Pick up a shovel dude. Pick. Up. A. Shovel.

Hey. Do whatever you need to do to maintain your sanity for the next seven days. And if you haven’t heard it yet from every single person you know - You gotta #vote

We don’t know about you but we needed Brooke’s kind words today. Remember to be kind to yourself bbs. And don’t forget, you gotta show up for you.

The weight of a billion women rolling their eyes for centuries can be found in that laugh at the end.
