Nottingham has one of the most vibrant and forward-looking departments of modern languages around. Music too. To cut them like this, leaving no chance for future rebuilding, is educational vandalism.

our neighbors are our caregivers: our teachers, our home health aides, our chefs, our deliverers, our builders, our nannies, our beautifiers - everyone who works to take care.

and our neighbors are organizing because we HATE this attack on community fabric.
this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

Bomb threats disrupting voting in New Jersey today, which has a competitive governor election.

As with LibsofTikTok and bomb threats to hospitals, the Online Right has seen they can do this to force closures.

Preview of 2026 midterms? Either way, states should be working on plans to deal with it.

Link below to the chapter on Alison Knowles, "The Identical Lunch" (late 1960s-early 1970s) in the #scoresproject. The date is fuzzy because Knowles RETROACTIVELY designated her habitual lunch order as a performance work. That's not usually how a score works!

This animation is a favorite from the entire project—the spotlight areas acknowledge plenty of fuzziness in relating Bussotti’s drawing-score to Tudor’s realization, but it nonetheless does risk an interpretation that is clear and falsifiable. #scoresproject #notation

The Scores Project: David Tudor performing No. 3 from Sylvano Bussotti’s Five Piano Pieces for David Tudor (1959)
Tudor regarded his realization of No. 3 as a personal breakthrough. After all, in providing a score that is more of a drawing and provides little of any guidance to the performer, Bussotti effectively...
