Not a surprising turn of events today, but a deeply disappointing one. It terrifies me for my girls that our courts and legislators care more about what a few racist elitist men thought a few hundred years ago than their personhood and safety today.

@ldaviesmusic @Mtnsbeyondmtns @pjmurphy249 @DavidBarondeau Let’s keep in mind that UNC buses are free to all *who can afford to live in Chapel Hill*—which is becoming more and more difficult for graduate students, contingent faculty, and those generally on the lower end of the salary spectrum.

I pay $857/year for parking. Faculty should have free parking at their place of employment.

@gcornish91 Congratulations Gabby! Can’t wait to read it.

@whats_opera_doc @AllisonPortnow @christa_a_b @BrianJones48 @KimFrancisPhD @lefresne79 @musicillogical @DocShadey @doctorbusman @dan_guberman @DavidVanderHamm This is the tried and true formula.

@AllisonPortnow @christa_a_b @BrianJones48 @KimFrancisPhD @lefresne79 @musicillogical @DocShadey @doctorbusman @dan_guberman @DavidVanderHamm @jamietblake I'd get a chance to brush of the time honored "which mascot do I like better" strategy of bracket formation, so sure, why not?

@gcornish91 I was living in a country at war when I was a kid. I asked my mum which side was going to win. She answered, No one ever *wins* a war. I didn’t get it back then now I understand that regardless of the outcome the human price is always too high, all around.

⚡️Zelensky: "What do we hear today? It's not just rocket explosions, fighting, and the roar of aircraft. This is the sound of a new Iron Curtain, which lowers and closes Russia from the civilized world."

Yesterday our very own @WW2girl1944 appeared on a panel at the #ASEEES21 confecence in New Orleans with @KarenLUslin & @jamietblake. Thank you to the moderator @Beethovenian. Also one of our Graduate Academy students @lidukha_ took part in her own panel on Gulags! #conference

@basking_shark @queend236 This reminds me of my aunt that calls Target “Tar-JAY” like bad French is way more luxe

@queend236 vinyl flooring, plastic laminate (formica) countertops, and the cheapest appliances they could find at the store but its "luxury" bcs they picked nice looking cheap stuff 🙄 nothing inherently wrong with those materials but theyre by definition the opposite of luxury

@sudoclassical @grittyphilly1 @GrittyNHL But would Gritty actually throw down with his own Grandpa?

@jamietblake @grittyphilly1 I'm here for a @GrittyNHL v. Leopold Stokowski battle.

This is one of my favorite things. "Artur Rodzinski... bitterly denounced jazz yesterday, saying it led to "war degeneracy." He said he considered devotees of Sinatra "pitiful cases." Sinatra promptly replied that he had heard "some pretty awful classical music in my time."

Amazing! The LoC is a magical place.

And here’s another thing, people making more “commercially viable” art is not necessarily a compromise. Some people like doing, are good at it, and feel fulfilled doing it. Stop being weird about people making art the way they choose to. That’s literally the point of art. 4/6

@gcornish91 Congratulations!

@NaomiRendina Falling. Not heights- I can be very high up, including planes, balconies, rooftops, etc, and not feel anxiety if I don’t feel like I could fall. But walking down a steep-ish slippery hill can make me hyperventilate and stadium seating makes my heart pound if I look down.

So excited to get @musicolojen’s groundbreaking new monograph today!

@TrevorRNelson And along the same lines, we somehow insist on on perpetuating the idea that teeth (and sometimes eyes, I guess?) are not part of our medical health? Taking care of them is, like, supposed to be optional?

@gcornish91 If it looks like totalitarianism and quacks like totalitarianism
