As of today, the much more reasonably priced paperback of Musical Intimacy is out in the world. Available from the publisher's site below, but I bet your favorite local, indie bookstore could order it for you!

It's not Thanksgiving until your racist Uncle says something racist.
TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.
REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?
TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

John Fogerty booking a flight: put me in coach
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

This classification will make it impossible for students to access federally-backed loans for their studies. Of note: most of these disciplines are pursued by women. This is an attempt to keep women out of the workforce. ALSO, many of these jobs require mandatory reporting of child abuse. Weird, no?
