"You're not trying to beat anyone else at an audition. That's not your job. Your job is to play so well that they can't imagine *not* hiring you." -Lynne Ramsey, one of the best viola teachers I ever had, and a wizard at getting right to the point
What’s the most significant advice you received from a teacher?
I had a Geology prof who always said “have strong opinions, loosely held”
Be passionate, assess alternatives with conviction, take sides. But don’t fall so in love with your opinions that you can’t change them with better data.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

It's being reported that New Zealand has banned puberty blockers for transgender youth. I removed New Zealand from my recommendations to families fleeing a while back after the far right saw a surge in power in the country.

Look, I know this weaponization of male academic interest is the oldest story in the book, but it’s just so, so pernicious. It’s awful to the women directly involved, but it’s also awful to *all* women in the academy, who have to live in its shadow all the time.

I only started following the Dodgers last year. That spring, after my kids' school burned down in the Eaton Fire, they were treated with free tickets to a game and the 4th graders went for Jackie Robinson Day, where my kiddo got to take their pic w/Mookie Betts & the World Series trophy.

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."
Which is true for trans kids too.

Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.
