if you are in chicago it’s time to hit the streets (or daley plaza, as it were). 40% cuts to the CTA will fuck over every single one of us.

The colonialism of British TERFs is through the roof. Again. This open letter from Irish feminists to British transphobes in 2018 remains relevant. Where was JK Rowling's money for #RepealThe8th? But she has it to spread British Anti-LGBT hate in Ireland? #Spéirgorm feministire.com/2018/01/22/a...
So tell us: what is it that you know of Irish feminism that you feel entitled and authorised to come here and lecture us on? Dublin has not been part of the UK since 1921, yet you originally described ‘We Need To Talk’ as a UK tour while still including Dublin on your list of venues. This gives us some idea of how little you know about Irish realities, north or south.

We do not need you here. We have not had your support in our fight for #repealthe8th, our fight against the historical and ongoing impact of the Magdalene Laundries, our fight for taking back control of our hospitals from religious orders, our fight for justice for women and babies tortured and entombed in Mother and Baby homes.

Do you know, for example, that in the north of Ireland, legally part of the UK, women still cannot access safe and legal abortion? Have you campaigned on this in any way? If you have, why don’t we know about it? Did you strike in solidarity with us on March 8th last year? Did you even know we were striking and for what? Do you have any kind of concept of what a feminism in a country shaped by struggle against Empire looks like?

House Republicans just passed Trump’s Tax Scam (the GOP’s Medicaid-slashing, billionaire-enriching megabill) in a 215-214 vote. The bill got even worse overnight, but the most important thing to know right now is this: This fight isn’t over, and this bill can still be stopped. 🧵

i’m pretty sure i paid at max $200/month for my room in a 4br 2ba house in oberlin. the next year i really splurged on $250/month for a room in a nicer house. i’m pretty sure our utilities were mostly included, all i remember paying for was internet

listening to Hanif Abdurraqib read There’s Always This Year on audiobook while driving through Ohio really hits. i’m not sure what it indicates about 2025 that that’s how i spent NYE but it was immensely satisfying, as far as driving through the midwest goes

met someone today who knew some of my colleagues from an old orchestra - he said he’d asked them about me before this gig and one of them said “i didn’t know her well. but i do know that she loves women’s sports.” legacy complete. i’ve never been so pleased

asking for help from the music hivemind this morning - what are the expectations of what to include on a performance CV in Europe these days? i assume it's not the same as the standard US one-page orchestra resume and i also assume it's not the same as an academic CV but beyond that i've got nothing

i see the crab facts advent calendar going around - i believe you can get this delightful frog facts calendar from the same source! @leerawles.bsky.social sent it to me and it’s a beaut even if the first fact….is a little gross lol
an advent calendar entitled “Frog Facts” and aptly decorated with cartoon frogs; the first fact is revealed and says “Suriname toad moms bury their eggs in their own backs to keep the eggs safe. The eggs hatch out of their skin!”

nothing more exhilarating than sprinting for the bus when it’s already at your stop but there’s a red light and you are two blocks away and actually succeeding in catching it!! also nothing more humbling. i was a college athlete and now i am high key out of breath.

In the criminal justice system, confectionary based offenses are considered especially heinous. In Boston, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Sugared Victuals Unit. These are their stories.
