@DHLPaket @RalphLauren Just sent an email attaching the DHL notification and receipt. The package was given to a Fathi el Kadhi on the 5th floor, not to me on the 13 floor.

@DHLPaket delivered my package to an unknown neighbor in #Berlin. It is stolen! I was home when it was delivered. They didn't ring my bell. They won't refund my money. @RalphLauren won't help me. Horrible company!

The fourth movement fugal thunderstorm in Sibelius Symphony No. 1. Amazing writing. Incredible musicians! It’s rare to have musicians who play for, not just for a living. What joy!

Called "African Mahler," Samuel Coleridge Taylor died in grave distress from pneumonia, and the stress of racism. Enjoy his Ballade! 🎼🎻

@ibramxk Black faculty are also victims of hate crimes.

@anna_bull_ When you’re white, you can get away with murder and still keep working. Why? Classical musics gatekeepers are all white; they can relate to and support him. #WhiteSupremacy #classicalmusic #badconductors

@alwaystheself I live in DE. You're absolutely right. The US is about a hegemony’s preservation of a positive self-perception, not the social inclusion of racialized groups. In Europe, it's just pure hatred of "others."

Midnight #Mahler score study. Sometimes we need to take a little to make life possible. Same thing in #ClassicalMusic !

Stop using the word grit. It implies life is a meritocracy, and everyone can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and achieve success. We’re not all equal, and require different apparatuses to achieve equity. ✊🏾
