“That Rodriguez, and perhaps Soliman, either couldn’t or wouldn’t make a distinction between Jew and Israeli, civilian and military, low-level staffer and leader, speaks to how these conflations poison everyone’s thinking, including those who claim to oppose only Israel’s actions.”

I'm conducting and playing piano for this semi-staged production of FINN for WorldPride this Thursday and Friday! We had our first read-through yesterday and the cast sounds incredible. I'm so, so glad this piece is getting more performances in DC.

On Sunday, my friend, Jonathan Joss was murdered and it took me a minute to find the words... Like so many of our lives, Jonathan's existed at the powerful intersections of Indigeneity, queerness, visibility, and vulnerability. He was fierce, funny, flawed, and real in every way that mattered.

I’m having trouble finding the right words to talk about this horrific crime. For now I’ll say my heart hurts and is with the victims’ families.

Horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in the middle of DC. This kind of violence is illegal, immoral, inexcusable and of course - if the chant of ‘free Palestine’ by the alleged shooter is true - solves nothing and helps zero Palestinians.

It's kind of infuriating to see, after however many billions of dollars have been spent on supposed cancer awareness campaigns, that rampant speculation about "how long were they keeping this from us" is ruling the day.

Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated

We will not accept the targeting of our neighbors or the arrest of elected officials who act to uphold their rights. Proud to rally today with @nywfp.bsky.social in solidarity with Mayor Baraka and against the unabashed authoritarianism of Trump.

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.

I wrote a letter to the editor of Music Analysis about a 39-page review of Phil Ewell's book that they published. I think it could have used some … editing. It's open access for now while it's pre-print so enjoy while you can. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...
