Enjoyed reading this article by @garrt.bsky.social and I’m looking forward to my first time playing Coleridge-Taylor’s Piano Quintet in 2026!

150 years of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, overlooked icon of Black classical music
The British composer was a generational success story before his death at 37 — yet keeping that legacy in view has always been a challenge, even during his lifetime.

It’s Friday, and if you haven’t read this towering stack of great literature, it’s new to you! This week, Ann mixes it up a bit and responds to an op-ed by David Brooks in the NYT. Is the novel really dead? Read the article, watch Ann’s take, and let us know what you think.

What's happening in Congress isn't achievement. Destruction is the easiest thing you can do. We could all walk into the Louvre and destroy centuries of effort in an hour or two. There's nothing admirable about that. Creation is difficult; anyone can destroy.

The child in this trustee’s scenario? Faculty. Who submitted their tenure files for consideration in accordance with the terms of their employment. Both sides have a responsibility in that contract, one to submit and one to review.
I hope everyone really hears this.

UNC's board has belatedly confirmed faculty's tenure awards, but made some incredibly alarming remarks along the way. On public outcry to the board's silence, one trustee wrote, "It is not good governance to give your child a cookie every time they lay on the floor and scream that they want one."

When I was in college, I thought we’d get universal healthcare in a few years. Instead, people are taking their unvaccinated kids to measles parties.
