Here’s a thought I just had: In the US we tend to fuck around and find out. But in Europe, they exercise the precautionary principle, meaning they take the time to find out before they fuck around

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

Lately, I find myself wondering what people think the purpose of government is. It’s not to be annoying with taxes and regulations. It’s to protect and serve its people. To provide what people can’t for themselves or what businesses won’t because it’s not profitable.

NPR is my go to news source. It’s some of the highest quality journalism in the country and it’s free. There is no benevolent way to read this action.

I’ve literally seen this trio with the caption “starter Pokémon in Ohio”

👋 I listen to the news in the morning and today was wild: The pope died. Also, the US shared military secrets on Signal. If you weren’t following the news this weekend, this is in fact news, they did it again.

I took some pictures yesterday, mostly of open class though. As it started getting dark I put the camera away and just started hanging out and watching drums. I had a great time. But one of my last photos was this banger of golden hour CapBass. No editing on this one, it looked so good as is.

Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with Spheal

I keep thinking about covid albums. Like the albums that were written during or just after the pandemic and were shaped by the circumstances. 🧵

Let’s go Houston!

Forgot that my high school fight song is just the Florida fight song and got jump scared at the end of the game. I haven’t heard it in like 5 years 😮

I know I don’t know basketball like I know football, but these penalties are especially baffling tonight. Florida player had a sick block and got a foul for it? Another Florida player came down with the ball and fell and got a travel. Commentators were also confused.

I saw someone wearing a Pizza John shirt this morning while I was on the bus (I was riding the bus, they were walking) and that’s the first time I’ve ever seen one in the wild so I was excited

This correction is so funny to me

Is Corey Booker still speaking?

It’s never been as State o’Clock as it was this weekend. IPA championships on Saturday with my students, landed in a solid third place in PSA. Went to OIPA championships today to be a spectator for the first time after marching in the circuit for 11 years.

From salamanders and salmon to bears and mountain lions, David Herasimtschuk's images illustrate not only the beauty of the forests and their creatures but the symbiotic relationships that are vital to the forests’ health and the planet’s welfare.

I saw that I got added to a marching arts starter pack a bit ago. I’ve been happy to see the marching arts community here and I will always be posting about band. It also gives me another excuse to post my pictures and stuff. But of course, there will be other stuff here.

WGI map 2025! Over on my drumming account for on IG, I’ve made a map of all the independent percussion groups going to finals in Dayton. I try to give it some time with the class changes so it always comes out in March when I’m on spring break. Shout out to drumrank.com for all the data for this.
