Does anyone else consistently fail CAPTCHA checks? I feel like I need some pointers:
1. For those "select all squares with images of trees" types, should you select the squares with even tiny slivers of trees?
2. Are the character identification ones case-sensitive?

The NEA will no longer fund arts programs that promote DEI or "gender ideology." The federal agency has cancelled grants that have funded programs for underserved communities for more than 20 years.

Thanks to this thread, I discovered that the Long Beach Opera is dedicating an entire year to Pauline Oliveros and that one of their shows is coming up this weekend. I emailed them to thank them for this and then woke up the next morning like "Oh hey! I can write about this!" So I did!

Trans ppl need to be aware: Trump's hideous executive order on gender DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR STATE ID OR DRIVER'S LICENSE. It only applies to Federal documents. Some states (notably Florida) are pulling the same shit, but in many others it's still possible to change your gender marker.

1. lets me hook up my own midi device
AND
2. displays both notes and scale degrees (assigned by me) on the keys when I play?

People are gonna nitpick this, but it's good advice. Don't let your in-house lawyers cow you into throwing away programs that work. There's always a way to do the right thing.
If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.
