Delta let me check in 🤷‍♀️

How far in advance will we know if our flight is cancelled?

Come see me in the exhibit hall and send a postcard to a friend you would like to see in Richmond:) I’ll mail it for you!

Wear my labubu around Seattle: crickets Wear my labubu at the airport: 5 compliments in 15 minutes 💪

am I seriously going for a sunset jog at 245pm right now

I’m heading to Minneapolis tomorrow! I’ll be at the SAM table and the SAM reception! Come say hi 🤗

If I lived in the eastern time zone I could simply go to bed. Instead, I’ll just sit in sadness for the next few hours.

I hate baseball

😭

Glad that parenting duties kept me from watching most of that game.

😭💙💙💙

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

I will not be ok!!!!

Me every time I receive a doodle poll with a 5 am option:

Ok, who’s writing the Showgirl masculinity paper? I have thoughts but not me 😅

Taylor Swift in Father Figure

Check out this program! Richmond is going to be an amazing conference 😍 www.american-music.org/page/RIC2026...

If my students only learn that album titles go in italics and song titles go in quotes, it all will have been worth it.

It’s not just that video is too slow. It is that. It’s also not my own understanding happening. I also truly believe that the mind and life I want to have does not happen through watching but does through reading. Wild that this is even a little bit provocative but I suspect that mostly just online

Cal Raleigh has 60 home runs and we won the AL west for the first time since 2001 😭

I’m so excited to vote for Katie Wilson.

I think I’m going to log off the internet for today.

It has been 24 YEARS since the Mariners won the AL west.

JOB: FSU is hiring an Assistant Professor of Music Theory (tenure track)! I am on the committee and happy to answer any questions. societymusictheory.org/resources/jo...

Thinking about one of the only times I babysat as middle schooler. The parents were going to a concert. They were supposed to be home by 10:30. They didn’t call to let me know they were running late until 11:00. Didn’t get home till close to 1. It was a school night. Paid me $20 for 6.5 hours.

Love playing Fantasy Football because on a good week when your football team wins you can still feel like a loser because your fantasy team tanked!

A lot of people have been calling me the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social of Seattle. But where Zohran is charismatic, telegenic and stylish, I've spent my whole adult life looking pretty dumpy. To look more mayoral, I enlisted my friend Andrew Ashiofu, who took me to one of Seattle's premier boutiques.

Every once in a while I remember the pope is from Chicago and think about how much my grandma would have loved that.

I think ordering an iced bạc xỉu with cheese foam might be able to fix any any day.

But for real, shout out to Julia Roberts’s media training when that whack reporter asked a racist ass question and shout out to Andrew Garfield turning his whole body in disgust and Ayo Edibiri for answering a disingenuous question the way it needed to be answered.

A non-sentimental post: I’ve spent over 2 hours on hold over the last week trying to get transportation figured out for our kids 🙃 I have yet to speak to a person. About to hang up again 🙃

And here we are…off to Kindergarten. 5 years ago in March of 2020 I was planning a conference that was destined to be canceled, postponing and canceling my baby shower 3 times, and 5 months pregnant. These twins were 7 weeks early and spent 3 weeks in the NICU. (Cont.)

At some point we all decided it was normal that simply going to a website once means you're added to their mailing list, and I would like to revisit this.

ICYMI, my conversation with the brilliant Dr Leah Broad (@leahbroad.bsky.social). We covered so much here, incredibly grateful to her for her time and expertise. #FirstLastAnything

Fantastic article by Samatha Ege and @leahbroad.bsky.social in this month’s @prospectmagazine.co.uk on the life, career and legacy of Avril Coleridge-Taylor (usually ££ but free for a limited period). @arusbridger.bsky.social

On hold with our district’s transportation department for so long I fell asleep to the hold music 😂

Do you know how much it sucks to only be able to take Tylenol when you’re pregnant? Do you know how much it would suck to not even have that?

My first job was extremely of its time: I worked at an eBay auction shop in high school to pay for voice lessons. It was a pretty great first job actually 🤣

I have said this before and will keep saying it but scholarly/expert communities—and I very much include musicology in this—need to be establishing ways to continue knowledge preservation and transmission without the academy for the next while

Just did a parking lot labubu trade haha

I have a plethora of plums…what should I do with them?

I'm in an extremely niche discord that started because we were in a MFM podcast fan/football fan crossover FB group but when Travis and Taylor started dating the group immediately banned all talk of Swift and sanctioned it to a chat and eventually migrated to discord. Anyway, it’s in shambles.

What a day to not be teaching Music & Sports

Big Dumper!

People are being weird about this post because people can find a way to be weird about everything. But I work with preteens and young teens in music a lot and yes, they are relieved when they don't need phones. They will be honest with you about not wanting them.

My daughter has decided she loves the Alvin and the Chipmunks cover of Bad Romance and is listening to it on repeat. How’s your day going?

This has to be the most practical cookbook I’ve used in years. Every recipe is a banger. And so fast!!!

I'm so excited to share my new piece for @npr.org about Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and the intricacies of his legacy - today is his actual 150th birthday! I'm so grateful to my interview subjects: Samantha Ege, Curtis Stewart, Leah Broad, Michael Repper, and Sam Reenan www.npr.org/2025/08/14/n...

I have always thought this too 🤣

I know there’s a lot of terrible stuff in the world but one bright light is that it’s been almost a year since our cat, Samantha, had lifesaving radio-iodine treatment for her hyperthyroidism. She’s gained all her weight back and she’s back to her fluffy, sassy self.
