This Musical Menorah wandered into our brass shop at the music store where I work. We’re doing some resoldering. The candle holders are made from trumpet mouthpiece receivers. Main support could be a euphonium bow.The base is a tenor trombone bell. Interesting sculpture and materials!

To be clear: this decision is being driven by cruel and unnecessary actions by the federal government, not by doctors or medical experts. RMEQ is working to identify support options for families affected. We will share more information on Monday as we continue working to help those affected.

If you want to learn about Wendy Carlos, maybe explore the wealth of resources on her website, including this list of good interviews, instead of a piece she has since disavowed over and over again

BINDERS?? They are not beating the "just want to see kids' boobs and genitals" allegations.

a sequel: cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by the trump-kennedy center than the fact that congress said a second time in 2 days, “no, really this kind of child’s healthcare should be banned & criminalized” & 46/47 non-GOP senators won’t commit to “i will oppose this.”

deeply, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart i say fuck the new york times. stop giving them your money. cancel your subscription. drop their crosswords. move on from wordle. trans people have been saying for years this was an organized campaign of bigotry and disinformation. well here it all is

Translation: the comments aren’t going my way anymore. Stir up racist panic, smear whole communities, then claim there are “bounties” on you when people push back. Welcome to accountability. No one’s after you, your credibility just collapsed.

this is, indeed, a crusade by the people directly running the New York Times to destroy the rights and lives of trans people in this country they have blood on their hands and they’re proud of it

A NEW THEATRE OF WAR: The two-handed pantomine between Trump and Putin. Using a fabricated 'attack on Putin's residence' by Ukraine (verified independently as a Putin lie)... as an excuse to reneg on discussions that had only just happened with Zelenskyy at Mar-a-Lago (baby white house by the sea).

Todd Blanche knows. Pam Bondi knows. Kash Patel knows. Melania knows. They ALL know what he did. They all know.

This happened in Indio, California. Witnesses say that a person came out saying, "I support ICE. Get all illegals out of this country." Meanwhile, ICE goons crashed their car into this family, where you can see children are left behind crying and the ICE goon pulling the child away.

On a day when the Kennedy family is grappling with an unimaginable personal loss, Donald Trump chose to use his platform to launch petty, vindictive attacks against them. Yet another stunning display of cruelty and utter lack of basic human decency.

For self-described skeptics of transgender health care, the words “weak” and “low-quality” do indispensable work. To medical academics like Guyatt, they’re professional terms of art.
