I, too, would aspire to a life where I can pull out not just the correct Shakespeare quote for the moment, but to pull from the apocrypha when the situation requires it.

A weird part of being a singer in DC is getting an opportunity from a lobbying group and realizing you need to vet them before you accept any gigs.

Diet Coke? Check. Mic set up? Check. Headphones plugged into the correct port? Check. Dance party so that you have enough energy to record an AP on a school night? Check. Let’s GO.

This article is huge and magnificent and it sort of feels like the final word on Neil Gaiman. If you're still looking to, I guess, close the book on how much Sandman meant to you and how Gaiman ruined that, I can't recommend this article enough.

We’re all doing very well and normal here in the DMV in our second week of subzero hell, thanks.

It’s a good night to hear Roomful of Teeth do the Shaw Partita. Just hammer music and art into my veins tonight so that I don’t go mad.

I am so full of anger I may spit.
What a convenient way to avoid bankruptcy plus cancel contracts, with unions, service providers and artists.

I’m back at the big performing arts center where I did all my MA work tonight to see Roomful of Teeth, and I think it may actually be my first time in the concert hall? My life has been so wildly segmented sometimes.

Here's an opportunity to support the other journalist arrested today; Georgia Fort, who will have far fewer resources available to her than Don Lemon.
Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.
A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

At long last, a plow has arrived on my dead end street, but seems entirely flummoxed about what to do once it reached the end of the street. A county pick up is also here. They are consulting. Who can say to what purpose.

It’s very helpful to GM for friends so that you can admit, hey pals, I’m still having a anxious meltdown over this one thing that happened, can we have a redo session and turn the other way down a corridor? And you DO and it’s FINE and it also comes with two hours of yelling about fandoms shared.

I think we know that ugliness can be a contagion — it can spread through a community and shock you with its pull on people. It’s tremendous to have a reminder that care for others can be that way too. You help, your neighbors see you help, then they help, and then it just becomes What We’re Doing.

I love every single thing about this.
You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.
In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.
