Normally I agree with Ezra Klein, but he set up a false equivalence here: a passive, “Eh, it’s hard to cry when the guy who supported absolutist gun rights died by gun violence” (leftist view) IS NOT THE SAME THING as “let’s go kill the “lunatic left!”” (rightist view). Let’s keep it real here.

Protect My Public Media Take a stand for the local stations and programs you love.

Furthermore, the House just approved a bill to financially gut public media, the only U.S. news source I trust. Jesus H. Christ. 🥺https://protectmypublicmedia.org

All that’s missing is the official declaration. 😓 And the instability continues to magnify…

I’d been away from the natural world too long. Unedited images from a farmland visit.

I like this posited protocol. Directors have to write a brief abstract detailing why the narrative simply *cannot* be contained in 90 minutes… proposal subject to rejection by a committee of peers. 🙃

Perhaps, though I don’t recall using that one. “So anch’io la virtu magica” comes to mind as my ALO audition piece.

Felt like coming home to sing with these exceptional musicians and very dear friends a week ago.

For the art song lovers out there:

Happy Lunar New Year! 🪭🐍
In the spirit of shedding the old things which are no longer of service, I’m ditching the socials connected to Zuckerberg & Musk. Goodbye, Trumpanzees — Hello, BlueSky!
