I’m so glad to find this account on Bkuesky! Every year around this time, it takes me a second to realize it’s an Independence Day thing and not real life 😂

NEW: Pope Leo’s newly appointed Bishop, Michael Pham, outside the court in San Diego:

“We need to speak up for the voiceless in our society - and we will.”

The video then shows masked ICE agents leaving without snatching anyone today.

More of this resistance nationwide! 👏

(🎥 PSL San Diego)

"It's time to fight everywhere and all at once" Pritzker says, blasting "the do nothing crowd" of Dems in response to Republicans:

"We have to abandon the culture of incrementalism that has led us to swallow their cruelty and their callousness with barely a cowardly croak."

HEY GUESS WHAT!

Today is composer Florence Price's 138th birthday and for some reason I'm not seeing a lot of stuff about that so I WANT YOU to do your patriotic duty and revel in the life and work of this great American composer with me

Equity Arc, which trains young musicians of color, was set to play with the US Marine Band — until Trump's anti-DEI order canceled the show.

But Chicago stepped up, and now the students will perform at @chicagosymphony.bsky.social on 4/6. Grab a free ticket and join me in cheering them on. cso.org

I didn’t realize today was the first school day with the time change and accidentally scheduled a 7:30am rehearsal…..I promise I apologized to the high schoolers profusely!!! So tired tonight!!

THE SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW IS UNION MADE!

Shout out to Kendrick Lamar, and all the performers and behind the scenes workers that made this go off without a hitch!

I’m never buying Coffee Mate again after that tongue commercial

Absolutely unbelievable ad in the community theater playbill.

Before whatever is about to happen happens: There will be a lot of reporting and commentary about executive orders. Much of that reporting, at least initially, will regurgitate what the White House *says* the orders do as opposed to what they can *actually* do based on the text and controlling law.

I am not watching one single thing produced by or orchestrated by that administration. That's their propaganda. Why would I make it easy on them?

Inviting everyone to join me on Jan 20th in doing one thing you love, and one thing they would hate.

Joy & spite, y'all. Joy and spite.

Hello new followers! Just a quick reintroduction. I’m a high school music teacher - I teach AP Music Theory, theater, & band. I’m a pianist and clarinetist. I love reading and traveling whenever I get the chance! I hope to find community here like the old days of Twitter!

There are far many more people on classical music Bluesky than could fit in a starter pack, but for those of you new here from the bad place, this is a good place to start!

Looking for my music ed people here and hoping this question might find them. I have a week of review in my AP music theory class next week and I really want to do some fun things. I want to avoid Christmas themed things, but otherwise I’m open to ideas!

Not quite ready for the next two weeks….multiple concerts (with rehearsals!), regional thespian competition, and midterms 😅 really enjoyed my downtime this week!

Thank you to @heatherwinters.bsky.social for the invite!!

Hello Bluesky friends! Excited to find my communities on here! 💜
