As I wrap up my summer and get ready for the upcoming season, I thought I'd share some music. First off, here's an oldie but goodie: Alap, for soprano sax and ensemble/chamber orchestra. Performed by Great Noise Ensemble with @dvickerman.bsky.social and Michelle Acton on sax.

If you need me, I'll be here for the next two days. Two performances, one of a very early piece and a premiere of a brand new piece along with a panel discussion. Come say hi if you're about!

Understood and agreed. It's the same for composers and musicians. 😊

Absolutely. One I understand all too well. But don't let them convince you that writing is not work not a career worth nurturing.

Happy indigenous peoples day. Go read some De las Casas.

"Harder to justify putting money into your writing career" sounds like capitalist guilt trying to tell you art isn't real work. The operative word there, though, is "career." As in all things: care and moderation.

I was a freelancer when the ACA was approved. I've continued to be on the ACA exchanges since. It's quite liberating in some ways.

I will. Though Kurt was let go from BGSU earlier this year. I still don't know why/how.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Pritzker sent his own goons to protect ICE, thinking that would appease Trump. Stupid. Don’t appease fascists. They take it as a sign of weakness, and double down.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 8d

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.
