My voice in general and my tongue in specific are “she”. Everything else is “this a-hole” (yay aging joints).

What we asked for: the information necessary to negotiate a fair contract.
What we got: a soft PR campaign launched against us to blame us for their mismanagement.
At least Emily gets it? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️
A meditation on the language in the Lumon-esque new website the San Francisco Symphony management has made, what it might mean to actually listen to patrons' voices during a time of crisis, and a cameo from Seth Milchick 🙏

case for Tobin:

look it WON'T HAPPEN but he's a 30-years-sober Detroit-born quadrolingual reform-minded liberal and it would make all the worst right-wing American Catholic bishops absolutely lose their mind if he suddenly became their boss overnight

Thank you for saying this! I need a fun show right now and have been avoiding WoT because I remember the books as being a slog despite liking the story.

We didn't even formally announce that we're on this platform yet but...

After over a year, the producers of Sugar Hill: The Ellington/Strayhorn Nutcracker still haven't paid their artists. Litigation continues. We’re done staying quiet: www.musicalartists.org/the-mess-tha...

Welcome to the #9LC club! It’s nerdy here!
Enjoy!! Let me know if you need a link to the program book
*all of us (ARGH I am not deleting and reposting this -again- but I hate typos)
This is one of the things I love about all of celebrating #9LC - some of us are watching the sun set while some are watching it rise. 🎄🥹
Watched glorious sunset whilst listening to #9LC, gammon in the oven and veg prepped, treating myself to an alcohol free stout that has no business being so moreish.

This time last year I had just staggered through the door after a retail shift. Odd not being there in many ways, but #happyplace
Is that 99.5 KSJN? I defaulted to WQXR this year but I would love to hear more organ voluntaries next time.
Thank you #9LC folks for the utter joy of these 90 minutes on the Internet. Merry Christmas to you all! 🎄

happy #9LC to all who celebrate(d), this was an absolute delight.
Hark descant is SUCH a banger, always a worthy follow-up to Word Chord (tm) #9LC
WORD CRUNCH with the organ pedal shaking the chapel and then Daniel Hyde not to be outdone on the refrain! #9LC
I know we’re all waiting for Word but the verse 6 descant is always always goosebumps for me 🥹🥹🥹 #9LC
They really want us to know where the commas are, and I am Not Mad At It. #9LC
“Another way” said with a wink, love it #9LC
Too bad “I saw three speedboats” doesn’t scan 😂#9LC
