#BetterDems I like "furious cello guys for Saikat" as a strategy. Saikat - keep leaning in until you find the spark that sets the bonfire. Maybe you need all the musical instruments before your noise gets heard? (aka "likes go up, then up-up") Maybe all the different jobs? Keep pushing. I believe!

America, Fuck Yeah, from Team America: World Police. It’s time to elect someone who more accurately reflects San Francisco’s foreign policy values. That person is Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatforcongress.bsky.social #cello #sf #sanfrancisco #america #2026elections

Saikat for Congress @saikatforcongress.bsky.social · 14d

You can't spell progressive without progress and we've made a lot of it since we started this campaign. We’ve climbed more than 12 points in the polls in just a few months — and when voters hear about the campaign, we actually beat Pelosi by 6. And we have nine months until the primary!

Besame Mucho. If you live in San Francisco, you actually have a good choice for Congress; Saikat Chakrabarti. His platform is very aligned with SF values! @saikatforcongress.bsky.social #cello #latinjazz #sanfrancisco #sf #2026elections

Who is Fanny Hensel? A very interesting figure in classical music! “She found a way to put music and art into her life, even though she wasn’t supposed to, and we have maybe 450 surviving works by her, and she only lived to be 41 years old, so, a very prolific composer.” - @henselpushers.bsky.social

I'm biased but I think this kind of work harnesses the transformative potential of the internet in the most exciting way possible - way to go @henselpushers.bsky.social!

Lewis Patzner @lewispatzner.bsky.social · Sep 1

"Hensel wrote more than 466 numbered works, that we know about, and when I started looking at her, only a couple dozen of them were available online. … I think, now, I have something like 185 of my own editions of the scores on there (henselpushers.com)." - @henselpushers.bsky.social Incredible!
