My mother’s birth certificate lists today as her birthday. She was born on the 27th. When Grandma visited the yt GA doctor, he decided that that was when my mom was going to be born. So it was written. Grandma used to say, But I was there! It happened on the 27th. Medical access IS political.

#Blacksky #Pianists VOD the Composer released a video today, Sun Salutation, featuring Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson II. It will premiere on Channel 38 Detroit. If you are a subscriber of The-Piano-Instructor.ghost.io, check your email. You're the first to see it. If not, subscribe. I'll send it.

This is from: www.msn.com/en-us/music/... [that guy], who had previously criticized the NFL for choosing Bad Bunny as this year’s halftime performer, appeared to have watched the official halftime show over Kid Rock’s concert. #Blacksky

If I could mention how much music I listen to in languages I don't fully understand, we would be here all day. Not even just metal, many of us listen to other genres in different languages as well. Part of the awesomeness is being able to unpack the experience with others who do understand.

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Unidos somos América.

Just had a Super Bowl halftime where the singer: 1) boasts about the poor place he’s from; 2) boosts the value of agriculture; 3) celebrates small town life; 4) highlights the joy of inter-generational celebrations; and 5) promotes marriage. And tomorrow, the MAGA movement will attack it.

Me: literally not a trace of puerto rican ancestry Me tonight: 🇵🇷

Bad Bunny se pasó.

Meant to post this the other day. The kid is doing a month long learning expedition for BHM. Here is her list in case anyone wants to follow along on her journey #blackhistory

#FencingGirls, #Detroit, #Blacksky #WomeninSTEM, #Epee #Pianist For Black history month, I pledge to show up and show out on the piste.

I’m getting consistent with my fencing and my scores are creeping up. This is what you want. Progress is almost never giant leaps. If it’s real, it’s gradual, non-linear, and agonizing in its seemingly slow advance. I promise you—it’s more sure. Same for musicianship. #Blacksky #Pianists

Billy Porter’s response.

Let’s go be about it. #Blacksky #Detroit #BlackFencers

Dr Carter Godwin Woodson was the second Black man to earn a PhD at Harvard, following WEB DuBois. Dr Woodson’s thesis and subsequent work is the basis for Black History Month. This feline is named after him. #BlackHistory #Blacksky

Comedy genius Catherine O’Hara.

No.

Nothing worked as it should today. No one was on time. Transit was all over the place. A cat broke in and ate my cat’s food. But when I got home, I laughed with relief. I’m glad to be here. I’m glad to Be Here. If this was a “bad day”, I’m doin’ alright, you know. #Blacksky #WomeninSTEM

Use your music to fight. Use your music to heal. Use your music to let it out. Use your music to kneel. Use your music. #Blacksky #Pianists #Music

Jerry Lawson was one of the first Black engineers to work in Silicone Valley. Gamers could not switch between games until Mr. Lawson, whose team created the first home gaming console to use interchangeable game cartridges. The Atari 2600 is such an example. #Blacksky #STEM #VideoGames

Today is the observance of the life of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. Volunteerism is the way today. May this remind us all of the heroes around us doing The Work in small and large ways, those whose names we all know and those whose names we will never know. May all be well. #Blacksky

It’s really difficult for me to pay $12 for a teeny bag of stale popcorn at the cinema now when I can have fresh popcorn with real butter and fine salt and wait to watch the film in fluffy socks with a purring cat on my lap and a proper chai at home. #Blacksky #pianists #WomeninSTEM, #CatsofBluesky

In authoritarian conditions, the body becomes tightly regulated. How you move What emotions are allowed You become challenged to think of a future for you and yours and ours. Joy really is resistance right now. Bang the drum. Dance the dance. I’m about to do a photo shoot. Let’s. #Blacksky

This is going to be an interesting juxtaposition.

It's been interesting showing how horrendous these guys are at their job simply by a city that is not only working together to make their lives hell, but it's also a city with literal ice everywhere.

Do y'all know about this, or am I just behind? vintageobscura.net

Them: What do you do for a living? Me: I play the piano. Them: No, I mean for money. Me: *smiles so big my head almost explodes, voice miraculously remains steady* I play the piano. Them: Really? Right on!… ✅Lifelong dream: realized. #Blacksky, #Pianists, #WomeninSTEM

The feed is filled with: Cats Dogs Music suggestions Original art work Jokes, jokes, and more jokes This is one way to fight—by being happy, by sharing love, by remembering your whimsy. Post the hahas and the meow meows. Yes. #Blacksky, #Pianists, #WomeninSTEM, #CatsofBluesky

How’re we doing, Detroit? Try to stay warm and dry—we have another few hours of this. #Blacksky, #Detroit, #PureMichigan
