Now available for pre-order is Portraits of Everyday Practice in Music Therapy, a volume I co-edited with Kate Myers-Coffman that eschewes the extraordinary to focus on the realities of the everyday to provide eyes-to-the-ground perspectives for students and new professionals

I’m so disgusted by what I just witnessed. In Amsterdam, Israelis & Jews leaving a soccer match were beaten unconscious by mobs, thrown in the river, and forced to say “free Palestine.” This is the direct result of normalizing antisemitism post Oct. 7, where the most flagrant acts of Jew-hatred were cast aside as just “bleeding hearts who are against the war.”

Remind me again how these are all just kind people who care about humanity.

If you can’t bring yourself to speak up now—after failing the Jewish community for the past year with silence and/or by insisting that “globalize the intifada” was anything other than a dogwhistle to harass Jews around the world—you have no right to call yourself a humanitarian.

9/11 happened my freshman year of college, a terrifying experience made more terrifying living apart from family for the first time. I saw that same fear in the eyes of first year students this week with Trump's election. How many generational traumas can a generation absorb?

Chandler Bing made it ok to not be ok while trying to figure out how the hell you fit into this world, and I remain grateful for Matthew Perry making that so real for me when I was a teenager

@ZachCWilliams1 @WPXI You seem to be confused about what article you're responding to

[Noah reads the syllabus @docpotvin]

@jennineak @kthalps Yeah, those of you liking this are missing the function of quotation marks

@KaylaGelcinsky It's not a music therapy conference

[Noah reads the syllabus @docpotvin]

At a conference thinking we should collectively make it a rule to stop inviting self-appointed "coaches", "visionaries", etc. to provide opening session and plenary speeches. Usually their 60-minute spiel can be summarized well enough in a tidy Facebook meme.

@TOA_Painting @Howlingmutant0 @AbigailShrier It does, because you have to a complete ignoramus to say the R word non-ironically as if you somehow won a point. But please continue digging that hole for yourself. And yes, hope that helps!

@remnant11111 @KDKA Haha it's tape

[Noah reads the syllabus @docpotvin]

@GreyNameless @KDKA That's true, but this is a story about homophobes being afraid of tape so not sure what you're speaking to. You lost?

[Noah reads the syllabus @docpotvin]

[Noah reads the syllabus @docpotvin]

@Eponine1973 @KDKA Narcissists because of tape? Haha ok pal.

@Howlingmutant0 @AbigailShrier Your use of the term "racial division" to characterize what's happening is everything anyone needs to know about what you're bringing to the table here. But hey, thanks for playing!
