Horrible news for 20yo me, but practicing piano and sight reading 5 days a week does make you better even if it’s just 10min

Also waking up on time and not hopping on socials immediately has made the mornings and the day move more smoothly

Unfortunately using a habit tracker has made all the difference in the world. I’m no better than six year olds who need gold star stickers.

With everything going around about H5N1 and Covid surges I had a small hope to see more masks in the airports today but no such luck

I think Wagner would have loved Taylor Swift, and we don’t talk enough about how similar they are

Part of me supports Biden starting to do some real crazy shit rn

I have one final day of lecture classes for fall 2024 - and this might be the hardest one, not because of content by oh my god for energy levels

I love how the first night of holiday break, the first night I don’t have to wake up and think about teaching, my brain wakes up in a panic about my students at 4:30am

If you voted for Trump you don’t get to talk about Wicked, positively or negatively :)

I am gate keeping :)

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

I am grateful for brave students who advocate for themselves

I am grateful for people who have passed my name along to adjudicate or to teach music lessons

I am grateful for supportive colleagues

I am grateful for the 4 pack of Costco frozen pizzas 🍕

Millennials in academia - what are we wearing for teaching? I’m music faculty on the west coast and I need outfit inspiration

(Also please Bluesky connect me with more young people in academia!)

How will I ever find time to clean my house and update my website when I’m not trying to avoid grading??

Just in time for the Trump administration feat. RFK, Gaetz, Noem, and other fascist flunkies
