Cleaning out my parents’ house… The amount of extension cords I have found in different parts of this house is crazy. I seriously have an entire basket of extension cords at this point.

Wow. As if the Republicans weren't enough, here come the Democrats! Damn, who needs enemies!? Appalling yet unsurprising to see Dems fueling right-wing attacks on higher ed. They love abandoning us, man. So beyond unwilling to meet this moment. Shameful. Absolutely shameful.

Selling a home and everything in it, and I had to unplug a lot of the lamps to paint. Living by overhead light alone is really quite dismal.

Everyone talks about Edelweiss being the most beautiful thing Rodgers and Hammerstein ever wrote, and it is very lovely, but damn I love the Morning Hymn and Alleluia from SoM maybe just a little more. It’s SO satisfying to listen to, and not nearly long enough youtu.be/bDK2MaHuJd0?...

“Enjoy the journey” they said.🙄“Live in the moment” they told me.🤮 The moment sucks, and the journey is through the lower circles of hell. So, WHAT NOW?

Everyone always talks about Disney movies as their sexual awakening. But this scene from Singing in the Rain… I should’ve known I was bi. I would let them both stand on my neck and ask for more 💀

I have 4 degrees in Music, and I’ve never wanted concert tickets as much as the Bee Hive wants Beyoncé tickets. Y’all are COMMITTED

Hey, so, funny story. I was raised by an evangelical who used my love of books and patterns to teach me about the Book of Revelations. And this whole plan seems… Revelatory.

So my stepdad waited a full year TO THE DAY from my mom’s death to take the final stretch. Idk how long it will take, but he’s peaceful and restful and that’s all that matters

If you are not watching women’s hockey, you SHOULD be! It is so fun to watch, and you can tell they are having a damn blast out there. Go watch strong talented women live their best life with @thepwhl.com Americans, you can watch them live on YouTube!

Ok, I am in a very long term relationship with a trumpet player, and we are a very fancy music couple with doctorates…. But someone doing a mouth trumpet impression and killing it is SO impressive 🤣

Ok, just discovered that Rufus Wainwright wrote a whole Opera, song cycle, and now an oratorio with Meryl Streep on the album that comes out next week? The song cycle is SO GOOD.

One of the best parts of a Muppet Christmas Carol is when Emily Cratchett/Ms. Piggy goes “and I’m about to raise you right off the pavement!” After Scrooge tells them he is going to raise bob’s salary 🤣 I’ve laughed at that line since I was a kid.

Hear me out… Muppet Passion of the Christ. The only human is Judas played by Javier Bardem.

Somebody Somewhere on HBO is such a masterpiece in grief and friendship. I cry at every episode. It gives the same wholesome funny vibes of Schitt’s Creek, but it’s so deeply moving and tragic in unexpected ways. I might watch it 50 times

There is no green flag like a boyfriend that wakes your cat up every morning to get “good morning treats” before he leaves for work

Sitting at the airport, and this couple is just fighting at the bar, and the dinner rush is coming down a bit. The bartender just gave me a wide-eyed look like, you see this shit?

LUIGI MANGIONE is the practically the name of a character out of Hammett detective novel. Did he carry his pew pew in an empty violin case??

Knowing that there are possible parallel universes out there with infinite possibilities implies that there is a Jolene out there that has everything I want, and is completely ungrateful. It also means that there is a dead Jolene out there, and I guess that makes it better? 🤣

Last year, mom got sick with sepsis and was taken to the hospital the morning after Thanksgiving. She died in Jan, but I’ve been taking care of my stepdad for a whole year now. It’s been… a year of grief and stress. I’m really tired. But I tried today. I made the turkey and the sides. I miss her

Just found out people don’t know that giraffes have the same amount of neck bones as humans. And I guess I never thought about how someone else would think of a giraffe skeleton until now?

I unapologetically love Leroy Anderson’s music. All of it. Sleigh Ride is THAT GIRL. I would play it all year round. Play it with The First Day of Spring ( also his), Song of the Bells and A trumpeter’s lullaby all in one luxurious lucious concert of mid century chords. Best concert ever.

I love watching baseball, if only for the fact that Giancarlo Stanton has a home run of an ass

When evangelicals say things like “hair extensions are a gateway to the devil,” I think all the time about how I was in that kind of church in high school, and that could’ve been ME saying batshit things like that. 💀

Ok, I watched someone play “hear me out” with historical figures. Not taking their actual music into account, who are your 4 hear me out composers? This is based purely on looks/vibes alone!!

I feel like doing a series called “unserious links in history” where two things happened around the same time but have literally no connection to each other 🤣 it will probably be vaguely music history related

Xennial boyfriend showed his gen z student Candy Mountain today, but had no idea about Old Gregg, Salad fingers, or Shoes, so we just sat for the last 20 min watching videos from the early 2000s and laughed like jackals

Oh I heard the killer of the public option of the Affordable Care Act died. Rest nowhere, Joe Lieberman (see pic below). I wish your life insurance could pay off my friend with cancer’s medical bills!

As someone who works at an airline, and flies on all different kinds of planes…No thoughts or prayers for Dave Calhoun, the CEO of Boeing who is leaving (at the end of the year). I can only wish you personally, flat tires, missing remotes, a weird fishy smell you can’t place, and stepping on legos
