In Rome til July creating an opera about fertility in land and body. This excerpt is from a performance of a new song of mine that I sang @Auditorium Parco Della Musica. But what does pregnancy, fertility even mean in a genocide? 1 of many Q’s I’m grappling with in {Fertile Land, Fertile Body}.

The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil—a green card holder whose wife is eight months pregnant—is a blatant assault on the First Amendment and a sign of advancing authoritarianism under Trump. He must be released now.
This extreme escalation is an egregious violation of first amendment rights. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

Didn't go out for International Lesbian Day yesterday, other than for a COVID shot (no improvement in 5G reception yet).
But I woke up still lesbian. Happy Wednesday.
Soundtrack: Taiwanese/East Timorese/American jazz from the amazing Jen Shyu.
