Unlike you, I get my news from a reliable source

IN CHURCH MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM AT RETIREMENT PARTY Me: Did you see that pic of Jesus that looks like he got a DUI? Religious cousin: You can't say that in church. Me: It's a pic of white Jesus so it's fine, actually RC: Show me Me: *shows* RC: *laughing* Man, that's a guy named Brad or something

I’ve been having weird stressful dreams lately. Like last night I dreamt I pushed out a baby and then instead of cutting the umbilical cord I snipped the baby in half with kitchen shears like it was a roaster chicken???

Unfortunately “buy the gown; the gig will come” has once again paid off. No lessons have been learned today 🥲

Me: omg I’m done! I can relax! No performances until next month! March:

People who do a lot of score highlighting, my markers are all dry, so I’m on the market for a new set. Youse all have favorite highlighters?

Would it be wildly unprofessional to post a concert announcement with the caption “bitches be Schöpfing”? 😹

Out of opera mode and right back into concert life: Florence Price’s cantata Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight on Thursday! St. Matthew Passion in March! And then back to NorCal after Easter for Haydn’s Creation! A bitch gets to sing on book for a few months 😭🙏🏽💕

I am finally home and I have never been so comfortable in my entire life 😭

I was desperate to know the maker of the chairs at SFO. Turns out it’s Arne Jacobsen and these things retail for over 10k a pop 😩

This is why there’s been so much silence as Black history and Black books are being purged, and integration efforts dismantled. Many Democrats think the purges are valid and necessary. “Candidly, the attack on over-the-top wokeism was a valid attack."

I love love love getting to play this Japanese American woman from California who gradually loses her star-spangled glasses during WWII. She’s just like me in so many ways, and I cherish this role deeply. But man am I excited to not have to pin curl my hair every day 😹

Turned off my alarm and slept until 6, took my time pin curling my hair for opening night while finishing the drama I’ve been watching after rehearsals. After two weeks of nonstop work and running around, it feels like I’m on vacation 🥹💕

Unfortunately the cast of this show may have turned off an entire chorus of young people from pursuing classical music just by being friendly and sharing details about our lives 😹

Weeeeeeeping 😹😹😹

Chinese period dramas are bonkers. This commoner goes around beating the hell out of everyone with a stick so her cruel wealthy in-laws won’t bully her into submission, and when they call on the royal family to intervene, her majesty gifts the gal a golden club so she can keep up the good work 😹

Any of you have a sample “I won’t work with AI” contract clause? 🙃

she's doing a noise set

People are often surprised when I tell them I’ll probably never move home to San Francisco because Manhattan living is way more affordable, but literally the only thing cheaper in the Bay than in New York is like… weed.

Microsoft: No, it’s not just that the idiot machine we built IS an idiot. It will also turn everybody who relies on it into idiots.

Kendrick Lamar deserves to win the very first Nobel Hate Prize

Drake is the all-time biggest loser of a rap feud and that includes people who have gotten shot and died as a result of rap feuds

Because in the United States, it’s legal to feed chicken shit to cattle. That’s why. That’s literally the reason www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

I get REALLY aggressive about my order and routines when I’m on the road 😹

Look, Ma! I’m finally at Berkeley like you always dreamed 😹

SECRET SERVICE AGENT: Do you advocate the overthrow of the United States government by force or violence? ROSE: Oh! [thinks] Violence.

Samara Joy is singing in Berkeley while I’m in town singing an opera, but she’s sold out. I’m devastated 😭
