Wokest Superbowl ever. Gaga, NOLA culture, Trombone Shorty, Terrance Blanchard, … two Black quarterbacks and Kendrick Lamar, plus my line sister @ledisi.bsky.social singing the Black National Anthem. This is actually amazing and I love it ❤️

Someone on Facebook asked advice for a coverup tattoo for a Gaiman quote (and fair enough!) and a tattoo artist got chatting and said they do so many HP coverups these days too. That made me very happy. Then they said: "I donate the money from hp coverups to trans advocacy groups" and I got happier.

Each day this week, I am doing a thread to signal boost creators that are being targeted for marginalization by jerks. If you are a creator with a disability, please post below and include a link/sample of your work. You DO NOT have to disclose your disability! Support these folks, everyone!

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash. None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None. But a LOT are caused by bigots.

I’m not trans and I’m not going to speak for trans people but I am goddamn sick of ‘moderates’ blaming them for their own oppression.

TikTok removing the audio — a song which I wrote and only I performed on — from one of my videos for “copyright infringement” made my decision to obliterate my account and the app a very joyous one. Sayonara, fascists…

Debating whether to begin live streaming music calligraphy onto manuscript paper, mildly asmr-ish. Several of my own violin works to get done first.

Michael Caine is just one of many reasons why the Muppet Christmas Carol is the best Christmas Carol adaptation. No I will not be taking questions.

Cate Blanchett, gripping the baton and giving upbeats in TAR like she’s been doing it her whole life! Loved watching her conduct Mahler 5. Upload whole video please 😏 #musiciansky #moviereaction

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

#Holst150 #139: Hammersmith, H 178 Op. 52 (1930) 1. Prelude 2. Scherzo I'm listening to every Holst piece I can find in the order he composed them. Holst's moody, misty and mysterious masterpiece for wind band remains a cornerstone of every ensemble's repertoire to this day.
