Today feels heavy. The road ahead feels daunting. But if history has taught us anything, it’s that our power is immeasurable when we stand together.

We have faced hatred, violence, and erasure before. Each time, we’ve risen—stronger, louder, and more unapologetically ourselves. A Trump presidency may bring new challenges, but it’s no match for the strength of a united, intersectional, and relentless queer movement. More link in bio.

Blending the best of stand-up and original comedic songs to showcase pop culture’s most beloved sorceresses, “Tim Murray is Witches” hits the Greer Cabaret Theater on Friday, January 24th! Think of it like Bo Burnham, but painted green, gay, and doing drag. 💅🧹

From Shiz University to the Sanderson Sisters, Tim parallels their stories of being ostracized to his own witch hunt growing up in the midwest and as a queer teacher today. Tickets are hot and they’re selling out fast, visit TrustArts.org/Cabaret or link in bio to snag yours before they’re gone! 💚✨
