Historical musicologist and classical guitarist. I believe in the arts, in the humanities, and in socialism.
You'll never convince me that roping in the chief editor of the Atlantic in that chat was an accident.

Revisiting a game from my childhood: Pokémon. I played the original Pokémon Blue on the GB (those graphics were painful), and later had yellow and SoulSilver, but now I've got LeafGreen which I'm playing on my old DS. I cannot tell you how much joy it's bringing me.

Anarcho-capitalism says that all our problems will be solved if we allow the most powerful, most wealthy, most propertied, most influential, and well-positioned people in the world to have unbridled reign in everything they do with nothing even resembling a government to stop them. Diabolical.

First the far right was obsessed with “BLM.” Not just the organization, which was reportedly pretty small, but with anything black. They just called it “BLM!”

Then they learned the term “CRT.” And became obsessed with hating that.

Then they learned the term “DEI.” And loved to hate that new term.

This is what Trump and his supporters want.

💙📚 Herman Hesse's "The Glass Bead Game" feels like the bigger, better version of "Siddhartha," which I read in high school and then re read a few years ago. It's about a young intellectual and the struggles he faces with identity, wisdom, and his place in society.📚💙

"Please be sure to find room in your life for joy, fun, and laughter. Do not let Trump and his darkness take you over. Just as it’s important not to give up the fight, it’s critically important to take care of yourself."
