What we asked for: the information necessary to negotiate a fair contract.
What we got: a soft PR campaign launched against us to blame us for their mismanagement.
At least Emily gets it? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️
A meditation on the language in the Lumon-esque new website the San Francisco Symphony management has made, what it might mean to actually listen to patrons' voices during a time of crisis, and a cameo from Seth Milchick 🙏

case for Tobin:

look it WON'T HAPPEN but he's a 30-years-sober Detroit-born quadrolingual reform-minded liberal and it would make all the worst right-wing American Catholic bishops absolutely lose their mind if he suddenly became their boss overnight

We didn't even formally announce that we're on this platform yet but...

After over a year, the producers of Sugar Hill: The Ellington/Strayhorn Nutcracker still haven't paid their artists. Litigation continues. We’re done staying quiet: www.musicalartists.org/the-mess-tha...

This is one of the things I love about all of celebrating #9LC - some of us are watching the sun set while some are watching it rise. 🎄🥹
Watched glorious sunset whilst listening to #9LC, gammon in the oven and veg prepped, treating myself to an alcohol free stout that has no business being so moreish.

This time last year I had just staggered through the door after a retail shift. Odd not being there in many ways, but #happyplace

Thank you #9LC folks for the utter joy of these 90 minutes on the Internet. Merry Christmas to you all! 🎄

WORD CRUNCH with the organ pedal shaking the chapel and then Daniel Hyde not to be outdone on the refrain! #9LC

I know we’re all waiting for Word but the verse 6 descant is always always goosebumps for me 🥹🥹🥹 #9LC

They really want us to know where the commas are, and I am Not Mad At It. #9LC
