I am now in a cab home after an unplanned emergency trip to the South (everything is _fine_, ish), and rarely have I been as glad to be home after a trip.

It has come to my attention that I’m being impugned today by the New York Times.

And thus say we all: Go Birds.

A “Texas Hold ‘Em” parody with “catalexis” as one of the rhymes.

Ok, @joewoods.dev keeps talking about bluesky so I’ll give it another go I guess? I set up new DNS records, if nothing else.

Seeing @pftompkins.bsky.social singing Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” was not a thing I knew I needed to hear, but am so glad I did!

Music Theory Online 30/1 was published today. This is notable because I didn't have anything at all to do with it, for the first time since April 2011…I hung up my editorial assistant hat in January, having assisted in whole or in part with 13 years of the journal and nearly 500 articles.

We’ve had a fall trip to Acadia National Park planned since February, and looking forward to it was the only thing keeping us going through much of a shitty summer.

When news broke that parks would close for a shutdown, we were devastated, so the turnaround today is a very welcome development.

Ok so I just got here and mostly am on Mastodon, but if music theory Twitter wound up over here I will happily hang here too! Hello!
