@hotdogsladies I’ve taught marching for 20 years. Nailed it.

Today in the US is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, commemorating the legendary civil right activist and socialist who was murdered supporting a strike of sanitation workers. While lauded today, when alive he was demonised by politicians and media. https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/13339/martin-luther-king-day

"If it may be said of the slavery era that the white man took the world and gave the Negro Jesus, then it may be said of the Reconstruction era that the southern aristocracy took the world and gave the poor white man Jim Crow. He gave him Jim Crow. And when his wrinkled stomach cried out for the food that his empty pockets could not provide, he ate Jim Crow, a psychological bird that told him that no matter how bad off he was, at least he was a white man, better than the black man. And he ate Jim Crow. And when his undernourished children cried out for the necessities that his low wages could not provide, he showed them the Jim Crow signs on the buses and in the stores, on the streets and in the public buildings. And his children, too, learned to feed upon Jim Crow, their last outpost of psychological oblivion."

This weekend, I confirmed that the first feely-feels I had was toward a cartoon fox. And yet, I turned out to be a boring hetero-cis guy. #BanGunsNotBooks #RobinHood

@kurtsh I’ve never been because the line is always 40+ people long! Was it better tonight?

@kurtsh it’s such a good time. It also supports the “make your own story” design of Galaxy’s Edge that just didn’t click when it first opened.

Y’all. I just realized on of my favorite Pachelbel’s Canon versions for piano (George Winston, “Winter”) is… in… C major! #shook #musicnerd

@mooseandriosmom beautifully written! What a wonderful tribute. I’m sorry for your loss.

@kurtsh that’s so real. Every other year, another student demonstrates why breakfast is important during band camp, and another holding attention wrong.

@CoachMark amazing! Congratulations to you & your family!

@MikePgh @Skepticat do you cut the bottom out? Or holes in the side? They look great!

@kevingamin I was in Columbus that Summer and scoffed at #TheCadets doing a Christmas show. Then I watched it at Akron IN JUNE and was blown away. #dci #drumcorps

"They want you to feel powerless and to surrender and to let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving."
