Looks like discount was applied on emergency shelter!

That’s very strange. I am seeing orders come in with the discount applied, so I don’t know what the deal is. If you want to go ahead and make a purchase, I can just send you the discount via PayPal. Whatever suits you!

I don’t think the shipping is discounted, only the items you purchase… are you having trouble getting an item discounted as well?

there are no monoliths in american politics thoughts on false polarization and the role of the artist-citizen

The more time you spend on social media, the more likely you are to perceive the country as being more polarized than it is. I wrote about false polarization, the role of the citizen-artist, & why I still believe in MLK's philosophy of loving our enemies. gabrielkahane.substack.com/p/there-are-...

This week, I visited a class on the intersection of art and social justice. In distilling what I offered to the students, I’ve written here about false polarization, the act of listening, and the ways in which we can better help audiences to see each other. gabrielkahane.substack.com/p/there-are-...

Is there a German word for the feeling when you click on a link to Rebecca Black's 2011 vanity single 'Friday,' only for it to be preceded by an ICE recruiting ad?

would have been a timeline cleanse had it not been preceded by an ICE recruitment ad. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

I generally cringe at sharing criticism of my work, but I’ve seldom read a review that gets me & my music as much as this one does.

Hello, humans! β€˜Heirloom,’ my third album for @nonesuch.com, is out today. The LP documents a piano concerto I wrote for my father, Jeffrey Kahane. It’s a very personal pieceβ€”something of an aural family scrapbook. I'd be delighted if you were to give it a spin!

In the wake of the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk, which only perpetuates this country's cycle of violence, I have found solace in the words of our President, Donald J. Trump, who, as he stated in his second inaugural address, came into office to defend our constitutional right to free speech.

When I wrote my piano concerto, 'Heirloom,’ I drew heavily from that tune for the first movement, β€œGuitars in the Attic.” Today, @nonesuch.com releases a new orchestral arrangement of that song, which closes β€˜Heirloom,’ my new LP due out on 10/10. 2/3
