@AddyBrossWrites And I don’t find it degrading, it just is what it is. People who are feeling degraded by it are likely bigoted themselves

@AddyBrossWrites I really love latinx— in my mind, it’s an english word. And Latine is in Spanish. I wouldn’t use latinx in Spanish, and wouldn’t use Latine in English. But that’s just how I see it!

@TuckerCameron13 @MeidasTouch Maybe you don’t know what the words minority and majority really mean since you’re using them backwards

@mindykaling This is no problem, this is glory

@VoxTheDevil Congrats! 🎉🍾🎊🎈

@BlytheMezzo @ogiovetti @vanmusicmag @ChicagoOpera They have been struggling to be accepted as they are. To be hired as they are. We can honor them by respecting their identity. 💕💕💕✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’m happy to talk more anytime! /3

@BlytheMezzo @ogiovetti @vanmusicmag @ChicagoOpera Seeing a cis-het person rewarded for calling their voice genderfluid feels icky for my trans and non-binary friends who are also in opera. They feel that their identity is being utilized for marketing, rather than artistry that they are striving for and struggling for. /2

[Aléxa Anderson @Alexandra_rocks]

@BlytheMezzo @ogiovetti @vanmusicmag @ChicagoOpera Thank you for such grace! I completely agree that these conversations are incredibly important, and that colloquial use and connotation really matters in these terms that are so easily turned into buzzwords. /1

[Aléxa Anderson @Alexandra_rocks]

@nikaprintz I think the fact that she is mistaking dressing in drag and having a dynamic voice as genderfluidity is what makes me irritated. This is ignorance combined with marketing trash.

Working with Ragnar was some of the best musical training for the career I’m continuing to build. Brilliant artists are rarely “regular” people, and with that comes unexpected surprises and challenges interpersonally. I hope Ragnar’s okay! https://t.co/sMOGQXDa7f

[Aléxa Anderson @Alexandra_rocks]

@zachfinkelstein He’s a wonderful man and extremely intelligent. Working with him was some of the greatest training for the career I have now, and I’ll never take that for granted. Brilliant artists are rarely regular people, and that comes with complex issues to manage, usually surprising ones.

@xcellistax Nom nom nom

@DFelsenfeld I don’t know a program but I can record some of her music so she has a pro on her materials as a gift

[Aléxa Anderson @Alexandra_rocks]

@geometricks Omg who is it tell me tell me I need to add them and have fun with my liberal assed ass

[Aléxa Anderson @Alexandra_rocks]

@mtilsonthomas Wishing you all the best! I hope you’re feeling comfortable and have everything you need. I’m a survivor too— be kind to yourself, the pressure to be a machine of art is real, and you’re more than that anyway. Much ❤️ to the 🐩

A little theory for your day

[Jess is anti-soup @JLewSings]

A lot of people don’t know this, but time signatures are actually fractional representations of how much music a piece is. For example, anything in 3/4 is 75% music. Same for 6/8. 9/8 is really special, 113% music. 4/4 is the standard, 100% music.
