Really glad I did academia long enough to experience the joy of looking myself up on JSTOR. Big thank you to Todd Decker, Rachel Jones, and Daniel Fister! And an even bigger thank you to @jennjolley -- meeting you was without a doubt the biggest joy of this research.

@Daubledore It is so fun! I'm not very good yet and I can play 2.5 tunes but I am practicing almost every day. As a wind player, using a bellows breaks my brain. Do you know the name Colin Ross? He made my pipes.

[Kate Storhoff @katestorhoff]

I have not been active here because I have not been musicology-ing, but here are some updates:

1. I am learning to play the Northumbrian smallpipes. They were my grandmother's, made by a super legit smallpipes maker who happened to be a good friend of hers. I'm pretty ok at it.

[Kate Storhoff @katestorhoff]

2. I am looking for people who may be interested in commissioning a concerto for improvising tenor sax and wind ensemble. May have a link to the orchestra recording to share soon.

If you are interested in either Northumbrian smallpipes or new music for band, let's chat!

The elite women are right now competing for the gravel world title, but you wouldn't know it thanks to the UCI's decision to forgo live coverage. We ask where they get the audacity:

@kellyfromHtown Tim is 1984 and he does not understand Spongebob references.

A fantastic review of Brendan Slocumb's new book SYMPHONY OF SECRETS, starring a musicologist! We hosted his national launch event last night and we have signed copies left. Musicologists, you'll want to read this book! https://t.co/7rxptxsvNu

Please share/like any photos, videos, or coverage you find compelling from Nashville's protests for gun safety reform. Talk about it with friends and at work. Help turn up the volume, so your community doesn't suffer as ours has this past week. Keep it in the news.

In a way, the New York Times recently elevating an unhinged anti-“woke” crusader like Pamela Paul is actually useful: In everything she writes, the cynical inversion of  power is dialed up to 11 – which gets you to “In defense of JK Rowling.” It’s not gonna get any more obvious.

[Thomas Zimmer @tzimmer_history]

The “cancel culture” and anti-“wokeism” moral panics rely on a complete inversion of the actual balance of power, portraying traditionally marginalized groups as mighty forces that urgently need to be reined in – and those in elite positions as desperately in need of protection.

[Arriel (UNDER THE NEON LIGHTS out now!) 🪩 @arriwrites]

Alright y’all—I’ve been silent about this since May. Last year before I left the Catapult marketing team, I filed an HR complaint against my then-manager for microaggressions, retaliation, and an uneven workload on my team (3/4 white at the time). (1/?)

[Kate Storhoff @katestorhoff]

@PercolatedTrout @willlls I mean, calculus was fun! I took the AB version so it was one college semester spread out over a year. The teacher was so cool. I definitely took it out of FOMO. At least I was smart enough to know to not to kill myself taking calc BC. But I don't remember ANYTHING.

[Kate Storhoff @katestorhoff]

Someone asked me recently if I ever regret my Ph.D. now that I work in books. The answer is 100% no. What I DO regret is taking calculus senior year of HS instead of statistics. I knew I was going to be a music major -- WHY did I take calculus?

[Kate Storhoff @katestorhoff]

@DougKrupa Well, maybe YOU do. I can guarantee I will never. I just wish I had some basics down!

[Kate Storhoff @katestorhoff]

If you read that oped in the NYT by the former editor of the NYRB maybe also read this thread.

[Kate Storhoff @katestorhoff]

@MWilsonKimber I agree! I can't wait to read your novels one day :)

[Kate Storhoff @katestorhoff]

Musicology friends I'd love for you to all read this book in April so we can talk about it :) https://t.co/vIicLuMFA7

@MWilsonKimber That's our sweet spot at Bookmarks!
