Bluesky's favorite opera composer [citation needed]. Not tonal, not atonal, but a secret third thing. Posts about music, D&D, and loads of other nonsense. Adequate approximation of a teacher, if you squint | she/her | midwesterner in πŸŒ‰

There are some actions that are so antisocialβ€”so actively harmful to the social contract that's supposed to keep us all safeβ€”that, by doing them, you declare yourself outside of its terms. What happens next is none of my business.

Skipping further past "constitutional originalism" and going back to pre-Declaration of Independence, I guess?

I don't think there's a BWW by me that's reasonable to get to on transit 😭

I'm thinking one of those energy drink colors not found in nature. Sort of a lime green or electric blue kind of deal

Women's movement? You mean 'gestures broadly'?

Since this is a cursed beverage that doubles as a Sentenceβ„’, I am (regrettably) trying to find the nearest Buffalo Wild Wings

My preferred translator is Diane Rayor, but that's largely because her copyright is the one I could get for my opera tbh

Person who referenced mixolydian scale the other day: either you deleted or we both spelled it wrong, I can’t find the thread. The latter feels more likely lol. Anyway, this post has an audience of one and I forgot who you were

Interviewer: You might be able to catch some. It's all completely virtual. It's very simple, but it's also an overlay of physically based information that now exists on top of the real world.

Herzog: When two persons in search of a pokΓ©mon clash at the corner of Sunset and San Vicente is there violence? Is there murder?

Interviewer: They do fight, virtually.

Herzog: Physically, do they fight?

Interviewer: No-

Herzog: Do they bite each other's hands? Do they punch each other?

Happy 30th birthday to PokΓ©mon. Without it, the greatest Werner Herzog quote of all time would not exist.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed β€œfix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic β€œno mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

I thought the left pedal was the one that only hit one string? They did not teach this in music school, somehow

Soft pedal REALLY softens the sound, similar to putting a mute on a string instrument. I don't know what the middle pedal is for, and at this point I'm afraid to ask

Goddammit, pronouncing it blueskee is *my* thing. This jackass can't have it

Yes! And the pedal situation is just completely different. Sure, I've got the little rectangle that kind of mimics it, but there's none of that gradation or resonance.

My birthday is near the fall equinox, and I have long felt more of a kinship with Wario than the rest, so this feels spiritually correct to me
