Love Muppets, NY Mets, music & movies, my husband & my cat: not necessarily in that order lol
Had a great time @movingimagenyc.bsky.social this past weekend for the 40th anniversary screening of Follow That Bird. So great to reconnect with old friends & meet some new folks connected to the Muppets/Henson family

ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service
The ASL version of “Not Like Us” is magnificent.

PSA for this evening: if you're male with a profile bio that reads like a dating ad, Following only women, and have no followers yourself, please don't follow me, because you'll automatically be blocked. And I'm happily married, thanks

36 years ago today, the world lost the musical genius that was Joe Raposo, the man who wrote the Sesame Street theme, "Sing," "Bein' Green," "C Is for Cookie," and over 325(!) other Sesame Street songs.

Here's his songography:

What's your favorite Joe Raposo song?

Congratulations to #sesamestreet for winning the #producersguild Award for Outstanding Children’s Program. It’s a shame there couldn’t be a tie because #fragglerockofficial: Back to Rock was deserving as well. Glad to see to so many #hensoncompany related productions nominated!

Karen Carpenter’s passing on this day in 1983 marked a profound loss for music. A gifted drummer and vocalist, her warm voice defined The Carpenters’ sound on classics like "Close to You," "We've Only Just Begun," and "Rainy Days and Mondays."

Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Rosa Parks. Her courage lit the spark for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, changing history forever. May her legacy guide us in the continued pursuit of justice.
