Since I saw the SCOTUS headline I’ve been unable to look at the news. My stomach gets tied into knots whenever I think about it.

Really, is there anything more divisive than ranking Mahler’s symphonies and symphonic work? Symphony-wise, no 4 gets my vote but DLVRE is still way above… I may give no 6 another go…

I’d chose DLVDE over anything Mahler ever wrote, hands down.

Same here! I met some very dear friends through Twitter and am hoping the same will happen with Bluesky. When you start planning your trip feel free to email me – my address is the same handle at icloud dot com

Makes me sick. I’m a dual national - my parents are from 2 different continents. Stripping me of 1 would feel like half my heritage wasn’t valid. Am I supposed to choose between my mom and my dad…?

I did that with one of my abuela’s pan once. Just threw it discreetly down the trash chute. She never found out. I regret nothing.

So beautiful! Peonies are my favorite flowers – though in all fairness I say that about many flowers – and this one is especially gorgeous

She is such an extraordinary singer! Always very moving – though I think I’ve only heard her in the baroque repertoire

The washer I bought about 20 years ago just spun its last. I’m pretty sure no matter what I buy it won’t last that long!
