Noah reads the syllabus

Now available for pre-order is Portraits of Everyday Practice in Music Therapy, a volume I co-edited with Kate Myers-Coffman that eschewes the extraordinary to focus on the realities of the everyday to provide eyes-to-the-ground perspectives for students and new professionals

I’m so disgusted by what I just witnessed. In Amsterdam, Israelis & Jews leaving a soccer match were beaten unconscious by mobs, thrown in the river, and forced to say “free Palestine.” This is the direct result of normalizing antisemitism post Oct. 7, where the most flagrant acts of Jew-hatred were cast aside as just “bleeding hearts who are against the war.” Remind me again how these are all just kind people who care about humanity. If you can’t bring yourself to speak up now—after failing the Jewish community for the past year with silence and/or by insisting that “globalize the intifada” was anything other than a dogwhistle to harass Jews around the world—you have no right to call yourself a humanitarian.

9/11 happened my freshman year of college, a terrifying experience made more terrifying living apart from family for the first time. I saw that same fear in the eyes of first year students this week with Trump's election. How many generational traumas can a generation absorb?

@DavidGo14304283 @KDKA The definition! 🤣

@KDKA KDKA the definition of the liberal agenda.

Chandler Bing made it ok to not be ok while trying to figure out how the hell you fit into this world, and I remain grateful for Matthew Perry making that so real for me when I was a teenager

@ZachCWilliams1 @WPXI You seem to be confused about what article you're responding to

An electric car’s lithium-ion battery may have ignited and caused a fire at a vehicle repair/service facility in Bloomfield Friday morning, Pittsburgh police said. wpxi.com/news/local/ele…

@jennineak @kthalps Yeah, those of you liking this are missing the function of quotation marks

@jennineak @kthalps "Zionist settler-colonial project"

As a Jew with family in Israel, I gotta say that Americans urging people to condemn Hamas, who our government has already condemned as “unadulterated evil,” but silent about our government enabling Israel to slaughter Palestinians are nothing less than cheerleaders of genocide.

@KaylaGelcinsky It's not a music therapy conference

At a conference thinking we should collectively make it a rule to stop inviting self-appointed "coaches", "visionaries", etc. to provide opening session and plenary speeches. Usually their 60-minute spiel can be summarized well enough in a tidy Facebook meme.

@TOA_Painting @Howlingmutant0 @AbigailShrier It does, because you have to a complete ignoramus to say the R word non-ironically as if you somehow won a point. But please continue digging that hole for yourself. And yes, hope that helps!

@docpotvin @Howlingmutant0 @AbigailShrier I'm saying you habe to be borderline retarded to ever write that. "Hope this helps" (as you might say)

Picture being a Jewish college kid an American university today. You supported #BlackLivesMatter in 2020, raised the Ukranian flag in 2022. Now, 1,000 innocent Jewish civilians are butchered. /1

@756nyzhdhq @WPXI @Pittsburgh @bethanyhallam @PADems You realize this is an article about plastic bags, right?

Shop outside @Pittsburgh they don’t want your business! The left keeps moving the control more and more! @bethanyhallam sexually attacking a man who kept saying no, Sara Innamorato showing her lack of decency and zero moral fiber. These are the @PADems making decisions on your life meanwhile it’s not safe to take your children into the City!!

Pittsburgh’s plastic bag ban goes into effect Saturday, Oct. 14. wpxi.com/news/local/pit…

@MaryLawKnits @WPXI @GiantEagle @WholeFoods Because?

@WPXI With the plastic bag ban in PGH I will no longer shop at grocery stores @GiantEagle @WholeFoods in the city. I may even stop shopping in the strip district

@TOA_Painting @Howlingmutant0 @AbigailShrier You think that's what I'm going for or are you just flexing vocab?

@docpotvin @Howlingmutant0 @AbigailShrier "Thanks for playing!" - truly the Patrician's retort.

@MagusJourney @Howlingmutant0 @AbigailShrier Haha you sure about that?

@docpotvin @Howlingmutant0 @AbigailShrier Wow. A dissembling Jew. Now I’ve seen everything!

@remnant11111 @KDKA Haha it's tape

@KDKA Sodomy is evil and the promotion of it belongs nowhere near children

"This is not inclusion or progress. Fans look to teams and the league to show they are welcome, and this directive closes a door that's been open for the last decade." -- Brian Burke, the former president of hockey operations for the Penguins cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/new…

@GreyNameless @KDKA That's true, but this is a story about homophobes being afraid of tape so not sure what you're speaking to. You lost?

@KDKA No one likes groomers, and the NHL finally realized.

@moxanaqua45327 @KDKA Keep tape out of hockey? You lost?

@Eponine1973 @KDKA Narcissists because of tape? Haha ok pal.

@KDKA Just play hockey. They get an entire month of pandering and that isn't enough? Talk about narcissists.

@Howlingmutant0 @AbigailShrier Your use of the term "racial division" to characterize what's happening is everything anyone needs to know about what you're bringing to the table here. But hey, thanks for playing!

@AbigailShrier Imagine spending years sowing racial division and then being shocked when it comes back around on you
