Music, politics, and why it all matters.

[Jamaal Bowman @RepBowman]

Republicans won't do SHIT when it comes to gun violence, but try to tell me to calm down.

NO.

We can't calm down. People are dying everyday while we wait.

@PatrickXCoyle @yaf @YAF_UB @UBuffalo @michaeljknowles The hall was not packed. 300 is less than half the capacity of Slee Hall. There were more people protesting than there were attending.

[Amanda Paruta @AmandaParuta]

@yaf @michaeljknowles False. The hall was at less than half capacity.

[Arts of the Working Class @awc_newspaper]

Read @AmandaParuta's powerful essay on social structures in academies of arts in “Musicology of the Working Class”

#Buffalo, where is the outrage?

[The Syllabus @syllabus_tweets]

Our Essay of the Week makes a passionate plea for working-class musicology, and insists on opening up the gatekeeping institutions that make classical music the preserve of those with status and resources.

It’s funny that this person assumes that wealthy, older white people (majority of opera audiences) are the ones hoarding tests.

[Christine Goerke @HeldenMommy]

Dear @UPMC - just thought that you should know that those of us involved in the opera are WORKING. Someone break it gently to Walid, please. #YallStaySafe

@NYCMayor Low-wage is an unnecessary qualifier. Increase wages, provide support for people to stay home and stay afloat, don’t guilt people into going out during a pandemic.

@SpeakerPelosi Other than the typo, this bill is clearly meant to help corporations, not regular Americans. We need the #BuildBackBetterAct

@ericafeyh I’m trying to figure it out!

The CDC just announced you don’t actually have to wash your hands, just get the fingies a little wet

[Aubrey Hirsch @aubreyhirsch]

Today at @voxdotcom I have a comic about how fucked up it is that women’s bodies can literally go in and out of style. https://t.co/0xOXlsb0S6

Today would be a 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 great day for President Biden and Vice President Harris to #CancelStudentDebt.

[Rebecca Garrard @garrar26]

I fucking love Albany.

How @Isabelwilkerson (Caste: Origins of our Discontents) and @Karnythia (Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women a Movement Left Behind) changed how I thought about #musicology this week.

[Amanda Paruta @AmandaParuta]

@RecordingAcad should rescind the @MetOpera’s #GRAMMY. Racist depictions of Black people and companies who don’t protect their musicians shouldn’t be applauded. This isn’t acceptable.
