@pinestcw Thank you for Tiny Bubbles! Might it be possible to make the tickets you earn in Infinity Mode redeemable for more infinity mode time? Thanks for considering!

@beltingbonnie Thank you so much for your incredible performance in Kimberly Akimbo tonight. The show was just flawless and it made me glad to live in a world where it exists and I can experience it.

@ZoeListerJones I finally watched This Is How It Ends and it. Is. So. Good. So many perfect moments. Thank you for making it—your YS must be very proud of you!

@lmillernpr My hard-to-impress 12yo and I loved Terrestrials Episode 1. So many moments of delight. Brava and thanks to you and your team!

@warRock566 Hi—did you write Greenish Blue on IMSLP? If so, would love to chat—if not, have a great day :)

@jaclynmoriarty Just finished your breathtaking _Gravity Is The Thing_, in tears. Thank you so much for writing it! You are a treasure.
PS I also love your Colours of Madeline trilogy VERY MUCH.

@AlixEHarrow I just finished reading _The Ten Thousand Doors of January_ with tears in my eyes. What a beautiful book you have written. I’m so grateful to have read it. Thank you!

What I love most about this song for today is how much pain is in it (especially the bridge). “I can see all obstacles in my way.” I hope we can see them more clearly now. There’s much work ahead. https://t.co/WIe6YJkVN7

It’s easier for a white guy to get a gun into the US Capitol than it is for me to get a can of coke onto a plane

Here’s my tutorial on playing Chopin’s Etude Op. 10 no. 2 with small hands: https://t.co/FguZ5HG5AR

[Jocelyn Swigger @jocelynswigger]

@pianobug @mezzoihnen So it definitely seems more witty and charming in my head than when I hear myself saying it over and over. But it’s better than “um,” right?

[Jocelyn Swigger @jocelynswigger]

1) I begin at least half of my sentences with “so”
2) In every single frozen frame, I look like I’m either a) trying as hard as I can to imitate a gargoyle or b) sneezing.

I’ve finally released my tutorial on playing Chopin’s Etude Op. 10 no. 1 with small hands: https://t.co/AJRSUejyYL

[Jocelyn Swigger @jocelynswigger]

Fortunately I’m finding my gargoyle sneeze faces hilarious, not depressing.

I’m working on closed captions for my tutorial videos (stay tuned!) on playing the Chopin etudes with small hands, and I have some observations.

[Jocelyn Swigger @jocelynswigger]

@aliterative Thank you so much for The Last Post this year. You’ve made an incredible piece of art and a big difference, and your work ethic/process is awe-inspiring. I can’t wait to hear what you come up with next...but I wish you a long, luxurious break first. Thank you!

[Jocelyn Swigger @jocelynswigger]

If you play the piano with the self who marches in the street, you will play with fire and meaning and joy.
