Today, a lovely lady at my usual Irish session said something that assumed I was straight and I realized it’s been YEARS since someone assumed I was straight to my face and that actually made me pretty happy 😆

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
It used to not be for me, but I eventually ended up here haha

16.03.2025 14:01 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Hot take but commission fees shouldn’t shouldn’t be lower just because the composer calls for improv or uses graphic notation. Those things take just as much time and effort as conventional notation (if not more, tbh).
