Today my 15 year old voice student and I cried together, as I told her she likely has to go to a doctor to get her vocal folds looked at, because she didn’t recover from her “summer flu” infection in June (it was covid)

Just because you’re at the “tail end” of “not covid” doesn’t mean you don’t need to wear a mask while you’re actively coughing, sneezing, and throat clearing.

My concert is today! Man I wish @3M would make a black aura for those working musicians who would like lung protection in a high risk workplace (choirs are often superspreaders) but also would like it to match with concert black

What stage of fascism is “cops guarding libraries”? Could the symbolism here be any more literal??? Literally guarding knowledge while saying there’s no money for the access to the knowledge like come on

Went to the (Brooklyn) library today. Bunch of people were there trying to get in. Two cops were being paid to guard the door and say "Library is closed due to budget cuts" to everyone

It’s so frustrating feeling like you’re on a completely different plane of reality than everyone else you have to interact with daily. I got asked “are you partying this weekend?” last week and I just kind of stammered like… no, obviously.

I like how challenging liberals on not masking anymore and saying they’re downplaying a mass disabling event causes them to react by saying we are “trashing” or “guilting” then? You’d think they’d make the connection as to whyyy they feel that way hmm…

Masks work because air filters work. Condoms work because barriers work. Filters and barriers work bc physics. It’s so painfully obvious the lack of critical thinking/cognitive dissonance people choose instead noticing the same logic in another example of a similar technology

Everything in the USA is set up to extract wealth from the lower classes. Healthcare and student loans are two of the biggest ways they do this to us.

A health insurance plan for two adults that covers basically nothing until you hit a $15k deductible costs $1300 per month w/o a subsidy. That means you would have to pay about 30k IN ONE YEAR before insurance paid a dime for anything I don't understand why we put up with this

This is why I do not sing unmasked, but will put myself in risky environments if I am wearing a respirator. No other virus infects HALF a choir in ONE rehearsal. I’ve been singing in groups since I was 10. Yeah, colds can get through a cast, but that takes weeks. Covid is ONE DAY

I hate to be pessimistic (lol), but I watched a 50 person choir have a superspreader & then allow the performance to be maskless like 4 weeks later bc “half of us have immunity”. I was one of like 3 masks. Most people will not change their behavior even after being mass infected

I have never seen so many simultaneously sick students (even in winter) before. Every week I have a sore throat cancellation, or students who need several lessons that serve as vocal health recovery lessons. Half my studio is taking a sick/mental health break for the holidays

You cannot convince me that after literal years of masked singing without incident, that TWO WEEKS after masks were dropped, a superspeader nearly cancels our season, with a child as the index case. This is a real world example of exactly what studies are showing. Over & over.

Musicians, please. I beg of you. Consider the health of your body & how that enables you to perform. You know covid can cause vocal paralysis or hearing damage, right? Hand neuropathy? Please mask on stage or at least advocate for masked audiences/ventilation. Build a CR box. Plz

@katedodd3 @helenmcollins2 I have voted in every presidential election. I even caucused for Bernie back in the day. I even vote in local (gasp) elections! In a sea of white haired old ppl at the YMCA, I stand out like a sore thumb as one of the only young people in the room. The system is designed this way

… but I really struggle with this implied end game that music will be online only or something. Should musicians livestream their events? Yes! Should venues be more accessible? Yes! Are tours unsustainable on a burning 🌎? Yes! But once again, what should musicians do, actually?
