@NateZeisler The world is complex, Nate. I’m really enjoying this read to help me slow down my thinking and sort it all out: https://t.co/krtxEXt1Y4.

Everyday I ride a bike by Rivendell—a company that made a bold move to address the legacy racism in bike sport by launching a reparations program for Black folks. The program & my experience are highlighted in this article 👇 (btw. the bikes are amazing.) https://t.co/wd32lti18C

Fantastic feature of @LaundromatProj & its inspiring (soon to be former) leader Kemi Ilesanmi. So much to learn through their work about the potential of the arts to be fun and of arts orgs to be connected to their neighbors. https://t.co/C4zv6Hwdck

It's no longer okay to have an arts job with low compensation subsidized by love of art. The rebalancing is good and will completely reshape the landscape of live, recorded, in-person, and broadcast performance. https://t.co/irIbiEsjB3

Birthing people. Menstruators. TERFs. Gender critical. Anti-trans feminists. Gender essentialism. Trans.

If you're curious / have questions, this article is a pretty good overview of the current conversation about gender identity and language. https://t.co/OJk2StzPUU

"Close to half or more of U.S. adults say they are not likely to attend virtual activities...after the coronavirus pandemic is over." This is such a hard thing to predict. Better to think about is how folks are adapting to long-term covid volatility. https://t.co/o00WM36lug

One more reason to love @zingermans: actual working bike pumps for emergency tire deflation fix. Relief after two failed city pumps, though now being enchanted by smells of sandwiches. cc @common_cycle

Eating 7 hot dogs per minute. I just don’t understand. Joey Chestnut wins the holiday…again, for the 15th time.

[Omari Rush @RushOmari]

Doing holiday basement cleaning & just found this article from Tallahassee’s newspaper that my parents saved about my great-uncle Horace hosting his annual 4th of July cookout. The menu: collards w/ turkey legs, mac & cheese, potato salad, smoked chicken, fried mullet & catfish.

[Omari Rush @RushOmari]

Solid program here. I'm excited to see my pal @treafisher and the folks at @JohnBrownLives in Lake Placid on this list too!!

[Creatives Rebuild New York @ArtsCRNY]

Just last night for dinner I had a fried chicken sandwich with maple-sriracha sauce and chips with plain sriracha dipping sauce. This news ain't good. https://t.co/wvpuKAkXjV

I just learned that pancake mix and waffle mix are the same. 🤯

From a past participant: "Of all of the seminars, trainings, and other retreats I have attended in my life, this is one of the most lovely and valuable I have ever experienced."

[Omari Rush @RushOmari]

Join me and @usmusicscholar Friday for the book event (free) about the history and future of the anthem, hosted by @LiteratiBkstore and @aadl: https://t.co/1YH5Vlnh19

[Omari Rush @RushOmari]

Just after the New York Times raves about this new book about the national anthem...I get to publicly interview the author, Mark Clague...who according to the Times "knows everything about 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' including how you feel about it."
