Feel like it's probably not a great sign for the race that I woke up from a dream in which I felt sad about my 80-something grandparents' aging and deeply guilty I had not gone to see them recently (they have been dead ten years)

I remember reading Babylon Revisited at 18 & feeling sad for the old protagonist. Reread it & he's 35, lol. I know it's not an original thought. "He believed in character; he wanted to jump back a whole generation and trust in character again as the eternally valuable element. Everything wore out."

From www.google.com/books/editio.... Cosima was in her late twenties and he was 24 years older at this point, and I know we're not supposed to judge age differences and power dynamics of 150+ years ago but GIRL

My favorite TV last year was Fellow Travelers, a miniseries charting gay life during McCarthy's Lavender Scare.
Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, here's a blog entry on subversive patrons at the San Francisco Symphony.

Well I know your tastes are elevated far above mortals' but the podcasters are still going to keep yapping, so what's the samapproved term for unscheduled podcasts or, casting the net more widely, articles. Genuinely curious

Just as an onlooker, I want to know what they do if 500 - or even 100! - obscene Finnish signs pop up. Idly imagining an entire Concert Ettiquette Enforcement Department with mugshots of the elderly and such. Ushers being trained to search all patrons for large pieces of paper. Etc.

I'm terrible at a lot of things, ask anyone, but at least I'm not bungling the comms of my orchestra's non-labor-dispute labor dispute so intensely that my patrons are going to the press to talk about how they're contacting the ACLU over my threats

If you need something transporting but relevant tonight or in the coming days, you could do SO much worse than a documentary on irrepressible lesbian conductor/cellist Frieda Belinfante, who found hope and life in a level-headed way in a very, very dark world. 💕

Also, if the deficits are genuinely that large, how many current board members were ALSO board members when they voted to approve the deficits in the first place lol (I know a smaller committee approves an orchestra's budget, etc., but...it's still striking)

There is SUCH a potential niche for a person (or ideally, a team) that does serious, sustained, nuanced, well-sourced, non-partisan reporting about these kinds of governance, budget, and labor issues. Would love to witness such work before I die lol

It's just so exhausting when you care about a story, and you genuinely want the best for a community, and a big institution rolls up with resources you could only DREAM of, and they transcribe what people say------then go home. It's like if court just had closing statements and no cross-examinations

also I thinnnnk it's new reporting that the SFS anticipates running $80 million in deficits over the next five years? of course zero press investigation into how that number was arrived at, and there's no way to reliably calculate that far out without a new musicians' and new MD contract, but...
