i'll try again tomorrow
that is the hopeful way

for those who don't know better
i just have this to say:

there's not a day i don't remember
that suffering abounds

so any tiny beauty
is both sacred and profound

If you have the urge to negate the happy or cheerful intention of a post

maybe pause

is it really necessary to do so?

My fellow #cosoclassical people:
This is MAJOR news!!!

Here is composer John Rutter (who was in the boy choir of the original recording) talking about this release. More info and links are in the video description.

Awwwww, RIP Glynis Johns. 100 is a great age, but it's still a sad loss 😔

Still a useful guide

Elon's happy about this. But it's almost entirely bots and scammers running multiple accounts that his team can't keep up with. (they can't keep up with me either)

I'm happy about it because there is one region where it's not growing. And while I'd like to think that's just my work, I know there are a lot of people who've taken my advice (Stop, Report, Block, and Roll).

The damage is being done, whether it's me alone or not.

And that is all that matters.

Contractor: Where's my money
Client: The dog ate it

Finally that excuse works :)

The solution: pare back to a few sustainable things you can manage & remember that sometimes just getting through a thing & surviving is more than enough!
