#classicalmusic #composers #vocalists #choristers #instrumentalists I'm in the DC metro area, looking for choruses to audition for (as a composer-who-sings rather than a professional vocalist) and ensembles to watch -- and ushering volunteer opportunities. Got anything?

Trust is the most crucial of all intangible assets. You cannot build tangible assets (financial wealth) without intangible assets.

Ohhhhhh.... </3
Rest well Roberta. Your talent was extraordinary, your musical gifts were legendary. You were trained to play Gustav Mahler and worked with Bob Marley. This world couldn't manage all of you. 🎼🎹🎶🙏🏾
Roberta Flack, the formative quiet-storm R&B singer known for ‘Killing Me Softly With His Song’ and ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,’ has died. She was 88.

FIF: Chatgpt does an advertisement graphic, "vibe" by Lacrimosa (Mozart). The preview was a spoiler so I had to delete it. #classical-music-sky

Fascist follower in your iphone, how special!

If Apple doesn't allow elon's Starlink to be disabled, I will not be buying any more iphones.

(If someone could forward this to someone with more followers, I would like more people to be aware)

Really looking forward to this book and to hearing Jamais' mellifluous voice on the podcast circuit, at least to the extent he's willing to give spoken interviews.
I had a good chat with RU Sirius (@rusirius.bsky.social) for Mindplex magazine. It was done over email, so I sound more articulate than I really am. BANI, AI, and this capsule of my work:

"Worldchanging told you not to Fuck Around; BANI is when you Find Out."

This is so interesting to me. Why? When people talk to you and they trail off do you hear that as a threat?

Because don't you youngsters (<45) hear "." as a threat too?

And my son told me 15 years ago that if I use two question marks, "??" that means I'm upset with him.
I don't want to know the answer, bc always think it means "or else" in some ominious fashion really keeps me on my toes

1/4 Good lord but the media are disgusting. Looting has been an issue since my very first fire decades ago. Water pressure drops if you turn on every outlet for the pipe. Meanwhile a TON of mutual aid and community re-building is already underway. Links in next posts.

Oh, @bronwynann.bsky.social is there any textbook for 7th grade math that doesn't sound like a bunch of men sitting around a table trying to make a child feel inadequate? I'm checking some out and these are The Worst.

Hi. I grew up in Los Angeles. You can't fight forest fighters effectively with the water PRESSURE in city hydrants. I don't care if you live in MN which is basically 6" above the aquifer, that's not effective against 60 foot tall flames in 50mph winds.

So.... what do I know, but it seems to me that if you want to remove the middle class, having everyone fight each other is GREAT!! Keeps the kids busy while the adults confiscate all the assets.
