SO thankful to @hwfmorris.bsky.social for including me in this wonderful discussion about one of my favorite composers who just so happens to be having a rather big birthday 😉 (gift link!) www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/a...
Black Studies on 135th Street: The Founding and Future of the Schomburg Collection — hot off the press from Yale UP
Look what my beloved friend (and yes, series editor and author) sent me!! Happiest of pub days to Vanessa K. Valdés, @lehelton.bsky.social, and Barrye Brown!
Garrett’s support, as I think a growing number of us realise, is so generous and energising.
You are too kind! You and Arne did the work and I'm honored to be an activating influence in that
You don't need me to tell you this is flawless
Boas notícias: nova edição crítica da obra do Vicente Lusitano.
Pena não ser portuguesa.
Para quem não o conhece por cá: um dos maiores compositores e teóricos do renascimento. Português, filho de mãe negra.
A while ago, I received word that a mysterious package arrived for me at the office for a campus program I'm loosely affiliated with, now I have it and see that it's a copy of @josephmchardy.bsky.social and Arne Spohr's triumphal scholarly edition of Vicente Lusitano's music! Thanks, Joe!
I did not do a senior thesis, but I did do a killer senior recital culminating in the world premiere of a fabulous little chamber concerto for violin and winds called "Continent's End"
Here's the dreamy first movement:

this is grim, Paul! Thanks for posting through what must be an extraordinarily frightening experience
why is *that* the thumbnail picture for this?
brace yourself, but you might have to teach them about those musicians
shut up, Alex!
you've got this (I won't be done grading until next Monday, for what it is worth)
indeed, what a sustainable and reasonable way to run a profession!
I don't have much concrete evidence of this, so it is totally valid to take this with a grain of salt; but, I suspect having a wide range of adjunct teaching experience (like I do) is received by some search committees as an indicator that the applicant is "damaged goods"
academic search committees don't even agree that working in academia as a non-tenure-track faculty member strengthen your case for tenure-track jobs; at least (anecdotally) in my field, I see ABDs and new PhDs/DMAs get hired over other applicants have years of classroom/professional experience
I'm sure there are times when you are on break and I am not!
To me it feels like not a moment too soon
lol
I remember that episode, Turtle had just said something outrageous
Good people of Chicago! Our show on Friday is sold out, but we've added a second one on Thursday. Students can use code 'SCHOOL' for $20 tix. Would love to see you there!! wl.eventim.us/event/gabrie...
Laughing at the idea that the "first order of business if Dems win House/Senate" should be to re-introduce the right-wing immigration bill Biden/Harris tried to run on in 2024 to take the immigration issue off the table by making a ton of concessions to the anti-immigration right.
This is icky!
