Purcell Society

@dmscott David, the structure you outline is so helpful. As a performing artist, I’ve seen how much rehearsal matters. The audience’s nervous system mirrors the speaker’s state. Knowing what you want to transmit, and practicing until it feels embodied, makes all the difference!

Many people imagine themselves on a TEDx stage, delivering a well-received talk on the iconic red carpeted circle. However, in my experience helping select TEDx speakers and coaching them, few people put in the required effort. davidmeermanscott.com/blog/so-you-wa…

@RapidResponse47 @StephenM @MayorOfLA @CAgovernor such a liar

.@StephenM: "The @MayorOfLA and the @CAgovernor run the largest sanctuary city and the largest sanctuary state in America... They are guilty of crimes against humanity."

As the summer approaches, the Henry Purcell Society of Boston has been actively exploring what the 2025-2026 season (our 11th!) will bring.  mailchi.mp/9285bedd2e71/s…

@CoryBooker You are amazing!!! Stand up!!!!

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up. What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard. I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment. It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered. It will show that when our president chose to spread lies and sow fear, we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.

SCHUMER: Would the senator yield for a question? BOOKER: Chuck Schumer, it's the only time in my life I can tell you no SCHUMER: I just want to tell you, do you know you have just broken the record? Do you know how proud America is of you?

@Rhondizzle3 @MarkHamill Edan Alexander is still a hostage you dimwit. That's his brother Roy with Trump.

Who grins gleefully while holding a photo of a kidnap victim? This isn't thumbs-up at a gravestone bad, but I can't help but wonder what the hostage's parents expressions were when they saw this image? The man is mentally deeply unwell. #WeirdAF

@aatamkdaddy @MarkHamill I don't see any smiles.

@MarkHamill Seek help. Your TDS is so bad you are cropping photos to try to make Trump look bad. He’s standing there with the whole family, who are also smiling.

@GuntherEagleman @MarkHamill Edan Alexander is still a hostage you dimwit. That's his brother Roy with Trump.

@Paulfwood1 @MarkHamill Edan Alexander is still a hostage you dimwit. That's his brother Roy with Trump.

@BasedSavannah @MarkHamill Edan Alexander is still a hostage you dimwit. That's his brother Roy with Trump.

@MarkHamill He's smiling because the kid was freed. You're beyond deranged and unhinged. The kidnap victim is standing beside him. You insane lunatic.

@Inglewoodjack99 @MarkHamill Edan Alexander is still a hostage. That's his brother Roy with Trump.
