Anyway, I'm still having a good time learning. Two pieces almost recital-ready, one in active practice, four I'm fiddling with, and searching for three more that fit the overall anesthetic. (Yes, they are short pieces. I ain't no masochist!)

I'm struggling a lite, partially because returning to a classical piece is intimidating. But it's a good piece to learn on because there are 5,000 things to balance.

Beyond resignation, it’s important to mention that the republicans would be saying a democrat who leaked war plans to media had committed treason, and should be executed. The debate should at least be aired out in public.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

Judge Crawford has locked up violent criminals, shielded seniors from scams, and stood up to both corporations and government when our freedoms were on the line. It’s not complicated—just common sense. And we need more of it.

So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security. They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.

Things COVID has proven: 1) The job you were told couldn’t be done remotely, can be done remotely. 2) Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didn’t want them to. 3) Internet is a utility and not a luxury. 4) Universal healthcare is a necessity.

Being able to accept that something is fucked up before it happens to you personally, is basically the whole litmus test of not being an absolute asshole. The closer the fucked up thing needs to get to affecting you, personally, before you believe it, the bigger an asshole you are.

What I need to impress on y'all, and that I have been saying for years now, is that the vagueness IS THE ENTIRE POINT. It's so they can call anything they wish "sexually explicit," especially LGBTQ+ books. This isn't new or innovative. It's the same old shit, year 4.5.
