Republicans won't do SHIT when it comes to gun violence, but try to tell me to calm down.
NO.
We can't calm down. People are dying everyday while we wait.

Read @AmandaParuta's powerful essay on social structures in academies of arts in “Musicology of the Working Class”

Our Essay of the Week makes a passionate plea for working-class musicology, and insists on opening up the gatekeeping institutions that make classical music the preserve of those with status and resources.

It’s funny that this person assumes that wealthy, older white people (majority of opera audiences) are the ones hoarding tests.
Dear @UPMC - just thought that you should know that those of us involved in the opera are WORKING. Someone break it gently to Walid, please. #YallStaySafe

The CDC just announced you don’t actually have to wash your hands, just get the fingies a little wet
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This tweet is satire, mocking the recent revisions to the CDC’s COVID-19 quarantine guidelines. The CDC has not actually changed the guidelines for hand washing.

Today would be a 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 great day for President Biden and Vice President Harris to #CancelStudentDebt.
How @Isabelwilkerson (Caste: Origins of our Discontents) and @Karnythia (Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women a Movement Left Behind) changed how I thought about #musicology this week.

There’s an Amanda Gorman at every HS you call underperforming, inner city, and/or the G word.
Honor. Black. Students. Art.

I am no longer impressed that Nicholas Cage managed to steal the Declaration of Independence.
People who are tutting about #InterrupterInChief have missed the point about the lying, racism, and violence associated with this preside day. #2020PresidentialDebate #BidenHarris2020
I appreciate #POTUS’s ability to define the term “solicited.” He would know a lot about soliciting. #Debate2020 #debates #BidenHarris2020
Somehow Rick Santorum has managed to spin this as a potential sympathetic moment for Trump. In case you forgot, Rick Satorum is deplorable, and so is his party’s leader. #PresidentialDebate #2020debate #Debate2020
