Composer: not tonal, not atonal, but a secret third thing. Adequate approximation of a teacher. Posts about music, D&D, and loads of other nonsense | she/her

@KivanBay We got so good at this in the 90s-00s with teen romcoms!

You haven't seen this post yet if you're not on Bluesky (please move, it's where my Posts are now), but here's our concert: https://t.co/HbYa21yZAa

It would mean the world to me if you donate to my beloved International Orange Chorale and shared this link. It's a stellar choir that does so much for the San Francisco contemporary music scene. #GivingTuesday https://t.co/eJXlunQot8

I do not remember it telling me about my 10th anniversary here. I am not actually here for my 11th anniversary, I am on Bluesky (@pwallinga.bluesky.social, and also generally the only Patricia Wallinga anywhere). But god, I fucking guess.

also I have to let the thoughts marinate into a coherent order, and ALSO also get over the embarrassment of telling everyone I knew at the concert "no i know a better bar seriously" and then forgetting it was open mic night. this is a job for Tomorrow Patricia

As I've often done in the past, I will probably make a long, moderately insightful, mildly self-indulgent thread on the newest New Music Concert I Have Emotions About (@gabrielkahan and @caroshawmusic). You gotta go to Bluesky for it, though. (tl;dr i'm so glad this exists)

@theanglishtimes Is "laptop" Anglish?

[Patricia Wallinga @pwallinga]

@ShadowedCipher Not to mention Team Star basically having a member for each letter in "LGBTQ+" and whatever's clearly going on between Hassel and Brassius. Scarlet and Violet are truly for the girls and the gays

[Patricia Wallinga @pwallinga]

@james_f_thomas He thought the speaker was a woman. There was also no rhythmic variation because it was very important to highlight that Adam is walking. This somehow won the department's art song competition.

[Patricia Wallinga @pwallinga]

@james_f_thomas A composer I went to grad school with wrote an art song that set this poem and was shocked and scandalized when someone mentioned it was gay. I think about that at least once a week.

Q: But Republicans are winning because we're going woke?
A: Republicans will always be better at being Republicans than Democrats are. Concessions will not save you. Do not comply in advance.

DO NOT. COMPLY. IN ADVANCE.

For those who think we should throw trans people under the bus in the next election, a helpful guide:

Q: Why shouldn't we?
A: Because they're people, you twat.

Q: But I think they're weird.
A: Then mind your own business and let them live their lives.

[Patricia Wallinga @pwallinga]

Q: What's with all these pronouns?
A: Basic part of speech. I use them, you use them. If somebody tells you they use a pronoun you don't expect, think of it like it's part of their name.

Q: But they'll be MAD if I mess up!
A: Apologize, correct yourself, move on. It'll be okay.

let's be real, we all got CORER wrong a couple of weeks ago (I'm still mad), it's not like there's a long streak to break

[New York Times Tech Guild @NYTGuildTech]

It's never too late to #Breakyourstreak! Stay tuned here for updates, the picket line lasts as long as our strike. In the meantime we have made an entire Games and Cooking website for you to use instead of @NYTGames and @nytcooking: https://t.co/OWqUIZat7f
