Just performed the entire 30 physically-demanding minutes of Beethovenās Op. 57 sonata, more commonly known as the Appassionata, for my piano teacher. Feeling good about how itās coming along! Sweaty, but good! Also, I know historical buildings are cool, but Boston Conservatory really needs ACā¦ š

I just heard the term āheritage learnersā as a term for people trying to learn the languages of their ancestors and homelands, and I think thatās beautiful. For someone learning the language of their parents or grandparents, it should be seen as connection, not ādidnāt your parents teach you right?ā

Itās *how* you hold people accountable that matters. You can either blame and punish, or you can learn and grow ā not both.

Mitch McConnell offers an object lesson for all the Republicans who think they can tame this tiger -- even if you do everything in your power to advance Trump's agenda and sabotage two different impeachment trials that would remove him, the Felon Messiah King will still demand your head.

Finishing up my first work day after starting on the ADHD med, Ritalin. I'm both amazed at how much I was able to accomplish today and furious that it took me 32 years to get to experience non anxiety-driven productivity. Imagine how powerful I could have been! #ActuallyAutistic

the media, led by the Times, has done to Biden what they did to Claudine Gay at Harvard there is no way to convince the public, because the people who he needs to convince to do that (the media) are never going to tell the public that heās fine I think dropping out is a when, not if at this point

Thought experiment: Imagine if Obama, after claiming an election had been stolen from him and being convicted of 34 felonies, was granted immunity by SCOTUS justices who had taken undisclosed luxury trips on George Soros' dime. The fact that you can't even imagine this scenario tells you something.

If were I straight and someone referred to me unironically as their "lefty straight friend", that would be the end of our friendship. Nothing good can come after those words.

"President Biden, who seemed fully conscious and did not drool on himself, warned that an asteroid would wipe out all life in three days. Though he's been long dogged by questions about his physical and mental stamina, the president remained upright as he briefed the nation on the coming apocalypse"

Over the weekend, one of the major party presidential candidates promoted the idea of trying a former congresswoman for treason with televised military tribunals, and Iāll bet you havenāt seen a news articleāmuch less a catastrophizing op-edāabout it.

The mayor of Portage, Indiana, steered over $1 million in city contracts to a truck dealership, which then wrote him a $13,000 check. The conservatives on SCOTUSāwith extensive experience in being lavished with gifts after favorable rulingsāsay this is very legal and very cool.

Guy waited five years and paid $102k for a Cybertruck, crashed it after four hours of driving, only for Tesla to tell him that "the accelerator may not disengage under braking" and that it will take $30k and one year to repair.
Truly an L of historical proportions.

I don't think everyone is "suddenly" having adhd and autism. I think millennials were raised by parents who were ashamed of having children that weren't "normal" so we were forced to mask so hard that we "seemed" normal but were "just a little strange" and now we're all learning to unmask.
