I think the funniest thing about being a song writer is that a lot of my songs are a theraputic manifestation of me lettion grief and trauma go. So there's easter eggs in my songs.
This is funny because my abusive ex insists on communicating only through socials so he gets to watch his family (who all love me) fawn over songs about what a shitty person he is.
Stay petty
I'm doing a gig Thursday, a friend and I are gonna do a little duet for funsies since shes also doing a set. It's super standard vocal harms so we're just gonna do it live, we're both comfy practicing on our own it's chill. I double check before I leave the studio tonight tho, so I know if I'm keeping it in my setlist to practice or not.
We've been getting to be like friend-friends not just work buddies, we're teaching together next semester, we knew each other from school, her boyfriend and one of my besties are buds, blah blah blah
She asks if Rob is gonna put us in back to back (yes) and if she sends me a track would i be down to do backgrounds for one of her songs. I'm in obvs. She tells me sick, it's the stuff D was doing for her studio final. War flashbacks lmao
I know Harv has no idea and it's fine, my vox instructor at the college was constantly comparing D and I (mostly flattering) but the amount of times I've been the Temu-D is not zero so it made me laugh
Two of the funniest times I've been mansplained to as a femme musician.
1. work term my final year of my diploma, we're doing a high school show, the other singer and I are not only both graduating, we are both working musicians. We're talking to the Sr of the two live sound students as we finish setting up (because we both bring our own mics and mine is kinda hot).
He inturupts by snapping his fingers at us, meaningful eyecontact is made between the three of us talking and the teacher next us bc wtf. He then procedes to explain to us, at a speed and tone that suggest we might not speak english, how monitors work and how to signal for monitor adjustments.
And honestly might have given the benefit of the doubt there if he hadn't already shadowed sound for another band both of us were in. Bonus, our monitors were useless because he didn't look up from the ipad once the entire set
2: On threads someone asks if there's science behind hating hearing recordings of your voice. I'm a voice teacher, a session vocalist, I've taken classes in live sound and studio recording, AND my degree is in music therapy, I have the experience and education to answer this. So I give the most basic least nerdy/overwhelming answer: the voice you hear in your head spunds different than the voice your phone records, both have more of different overtones so it creates a kinda uncanny valley effect.
Dude pops in specifically to tell me how often he's been mic'd and how impossible my answer is and I must be dumb bc his voice on stsge or in the studio doesn't sound remarkably different. This man is a visual artist and motivational speaker who doesn't do his own sound.
So he gets the nerdy answer, I explain EQing, overtones, how different resonances, how you use your voice, the type and quality of the microphone affect which overtones are prominent and how speaking makes less use of these things and is less subjective than how we hear our singing voice. I offer to give him my sources if anything is unclear.
He called me pedantic and blocked me.

(edit) Finished!!
process of my Drawing Basics final
Anyway since Noah Kahan has already write every song I could ever write I'm gonna cover Dashboard in my set on the 29th
I know art instructors can be pretentious but so can music teachers and so far I haven't met one who was but damn this Art teacher for my basic drawing class was full condescending, implying I couldn't possibly buy the correct supplies unless i went to one specific store 90mins from my house, and I'd have to go before class nothing he could do
Then he asked for 3 examples of traditional art. Now he's totally casual, telling me I can prepay and he'll pick it up for me...
like huh what changed bro?
It's funny I never really had people mansplaining at me until after I could cite my sources, it's almost like if you sound too smart they can't stand it
I will stand 10 toes down to defend trans-women from bullshit but I need trans-women to stop approaching me in enby spaces pissed off because they seem to expect my experience to mirror theirs just because I present femme
Most recently in a post about addressing non-binary folks where i commented that 'sir is gender neutral in the military even though its typically gendered outside' (bc hey i lean femme and I like sir) but added other options also. Two angry comments from a woman before she tells me she doesn't want to be sirred as a trans-woman.
That's super understandable, but this post is about non-binary people, and I dunno it feels icky? As a femme presenting enby to have trans-women policing my experiences and preferences because they don't align, like dismissive or binary gender enforcement.
Like hey "it" as a pronoun doesn't make me feel good, but I have friends who use "it", we're different people and i understand that. Alternately I have trans friends with military family who use sir to turn it on it's head when people do it maliciously. We're all different people with different but valid experiences.
My Music Therapy professor is retiring and today was our last class. He gave us all cards and told us to open them at home. He wrote us poems

Hell yeah, this rules! I love it!
Not the best, but still really good!
It's okay, I guess. Could be worse.
I have no opinion one way or the other.
It's not great. I really don't care for it.
This sucks! I demand a respin!
NOOOOOOOO!!!
Be fr now
I'm so sick of no one listening to me, like why am I the vice chair?
We need to fundraise, I brought them a no cost to us fundraiser, raffle tickets that practically sell themselves, small school bands make 20k without trying, I funded most of my cuba exchange with them last year. Handed them over in October, she sat on them until February, Cuba trip prize isn't really a seller right now
they keep talking about a paint night and now its planned. We'll make like 200$ maybe. They don't work in our area, it will only be a couple of our club families. we tried it in karate we made 50$ Its not a good fundraiser but all the twee skate moms want to paint.
I suggested trivia and karate, because the venues we could use are super cheap, those events sell out locally every time, and I have all the equipment needed, I can do a low cost karaoke/trivia set up personally and manage sound myself at no cost to the club. "no everyone else is doing it so no one will come" EVERYONE IS DOING IT BECAUSE PEOPLE ALWAYS COME.
I did not suffer through marketing classes for this, like I hope the painting makes money but like why did we not take the low cost lost risk options
I'd love to sleep more than 4 hours a night but unfortunately I have the chronic illness where my neverous system thinks I'm being hunter for sport when I lay down
I love seeing these cuts to arts as I'm having a little stressy depressy about how I'm going to be in school for 2 years straight no summer holiday and Im already burnt out and now the opportunities for my (already unpaid) internship are going to tank
Like even if these cuts weren't removing existing jobs from the market What the Fuck happened to the 'we're going to start fixing healthcare'
'Ifhghgu the economy' Tim Houston cries as he shots his pants about being booed at the black history gala
meanwhile I'm pretty sure cutting jobs isnt going to help that. You want to harvest resources when no one here supports that. That doesn't replace the jobs you cut, do you think arts, tourism, and hospitality employees are qualified to start fucking mining.
fuck off Accounts shouldn't be fucking politicians

Vladimir Nabokov’s note card, c. 1969.
“[March 21 1951]
Student explaining to me (after getting 55) that when reading a novel (’Ulysses’ in this case) he likes to skip ‘passages and pages’ so as ‘to get his own idea, you know, about the book and not be influenced by the author’.”
This is my favorite series of puppy photos right now lmao
