Bay Area friends, please go to this concert in Berkeley on April 4 for me!!

She is SO BIG omg

Hugo: criminalizing poverty is how entire classes of people are kept in slavery

Me: so true

Hugo: a society that does not build supportive environments for children only hurts itself

Me: preach, Victor

Hugo: you can absolutely tell how evil a man is by the shape of his nose

Me: wat

Reading Les Misérables is wild because I’ll be nodding along to a bunch of deep universal truths about humanity and then suddenly be hit out of nowhere by the weirdest old-timey prejudice

Just got a guy clogging up my mentions defending the man like his life depended on it, wtf

When you come for the queen and miss so hard you get yourself

Too much to go into so this is my best TLDR

Getting cooked in the Instagram comments

Horny and miserable, worst kind of horny to be

This is not really related but I have not forgotten/forgiven the people on Twitter who tagged L*brecht into my mentions one of the times he went after Yuja (super famous Asian female pianist) expecting me (obscure Asian female pianist with no power) to fight him—like are you completely nuts

I think that pretty much sums it up

Imagine spending decades of your life writing angry bigoted screeds on your little website attacking this woman’s existence and then sending her a snotty condescending email because she understandably does not want to talk to you

Does anyone have any explanation for why N*rman L*brecht is so psychotically obsessed with Yuja Wang

Yeah yeah one of these things is not like the others whatever

Every day I get so mad that journaling, yoga, and harmonic analysis actually work

i am not on here for “influence,” I am on here to make my friends that live in my phone go “hehe” when they read the dumb little thoughts that i needed to write out and put somewhere

On art and the whole point of money Or why I'd be a terrible businessperson

Hello I wrote about what art has taught me about what the actual point of money is

Screenshot of what my phone screen looked like when the X (formerly Twitter) app opened for the first time in who knows how long. It’s an ugly black menu aggressively upselling me on a premium subscription for which I will get a verified check mark and “Enhanced Grok access” aka a direct hookup to the CSAM generating machine

Clicked on a tweet a friend sent me which forced the X app open and WHAT is happening here

I just had to say that this made me laugh so hard

Me starting one of my little essays: I have such a good idea and so many thoughts and I can't wait to share them

Me finishing an essay: I might be the stupidest person in the world and no one should know what I think

Newsletter is happening, it's just taking a while because once again I am overthinking everything

Cat influencers on the internet: your cat desires raw meat, if you don’t give them the wild hunter’s protein they crave your little predator will suffer

My cat: if you don’t replace my fish dinner with yummy crunchy kibble right now I am going to die and you will be sorry you denied me happiness

Also Liszt’s Totentanz

“On a Roll” by Iconapop

It’s so funny that the body instinctively leans forward in horse situations when that’s the last thing you’re supposed to do!

Screenshot of one of my old tweets where it says “Once Mozart had to write for a singer he disliked who moved her head up and down with the notes when she sang so he gave her an aria with a bunch of quickly alternating high and low notes so that she would bob her head like a chicken and that my friends is pettiness as art”

Context on the Mozart thing

Finally at the point where I can get it if I enthusiastically bob my head on the tied downbeats which probably makes me look like that soprano Mozart didn’t like

Been working over an hour trying to figure out where and why I end up shifted a half beat over in a passage with syncopated rhythms off tied notes, this is exactly like debugging code only without the engineer’s salary
