Not sure anyone said "bad" but 🤷🏼‍♂️

I really like Craig Taborn getting a MacArthur because, in addition to being a brilliant musician, he is operating quite far outside any milieu where that kind of money could come in through other channels

this is the Jewish equivalent of the "there are no men here, there's an unlimited supply of Bud Light, and you can never leave" 80s commercial

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

I'm doing this with records for sure

Judd Greenstein @juddgreenstein.bsky.social · 23h

yeah that makes sense. there's probably a lane here for someone to do this work well but it would be hard and perhaps not the most spiritually rewarding, given who could afford it

totally...the thing about real consultants is that they have tons of resources to throw at the problem of understanding the orgs they're working for. but arts orgs couldn't afford them.

I deserve that

Judd Greenstein @juddgreenstein.bsky.social · 23h

in my experience, the difference between arts consultants and general consultants, very roughly speaking, is that the former tend to apply a set of prefabricated tools from the outside whereas the latter help develop specific tools from within the organization. exogenous vs. endogenous

finishing a meeting with some arts consultants that is making me wonder why I’m not an arts consultant because it seems very easy to tell people what to do when you don’t actually have to do it

OK! Not judging, I just have literally never seen anything pro-Spotify in my feed so I assumed I was missing something

hazarding a guess that the ACF applied to the NEA this year

"Today, we’re excited to announce Recomposing America, a multi-year initiative that considers the role of music in the narrative of our nation’s founding and future. This large-scale project will highlight artistic perspectives unique to the United States through direct commissions, institutional collaborations, and public dialogue. Timed with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Recomposing America aims to refresh and reimagine the “who,” “what,” and “why” of the United States, and the stories therein."

Good to think positive like that.
