It’s fine. I’m early and it’s only an extra five minutes of walking. But man what a day for that old autopilot setting to kick back in 😹

Oh good it finally happened and I got off the train at my alma mater stop instead of my work stop… on the night of a concert 🙃

It is shocking to me how much I absolutely ADORE the Brahms Requiem when the opening bars of the soprano solo movement are downright cruel and the rest of his orchestral output is just not my thing

The “marketplace of ideas” 🙃

I walked out of the bedroom at 6:30 AM to find this man already playing Resident Evil on the couch, and the first thing he says to me is “cheeseburgers” 🍔😹

I’m working on a lot of music that has to do with suffering and salvation, so maybe this is my Lent-pilled self talking, but to save the world from evil that could destroy it really is going to require the suffering and sacrifice of good people in the name of what’s right, isn’t it?

Yes, I do need trail mix hoofing through the hills of Manhattan so I can get from rehearsal to rehearsal on time. It’s a custom blend I made myself, and if I’m being completely honest, half the mix is just dark chocolate covered espresso beans

Adding some soundproofing to my music studio/office, and our Momo bean is obsessed with the new rug 😭💕

I love musician life. I love biking to work when it’s freezing out so I can sing Brahms with a sinus infection 💀

Update: he was not in bed when I woke up this morning 💀

My husband starts his new job next Monday. His plan is to play Resident Evil on the couch all week the way you feed unlimited cheeseburgers to a dog before putting him down 😹

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Dear President Senile Pedophile Hitler,

Won’t you listen to reason?

Elect a pedophile and he just kidnaps other presidents or drops bombs whenever he wants to make the news shut up about him raping kids and it fucking works every time like omfg I’m gonna lose my entire mind 🫠

(Also, big hugs to my UCSD studio class+choir bestie Mariya!)

God I really miss it sometimes 🥺

Composers, run your music by performers who make music for a living. Some of you in shockingly high places are writing some ridiculous shit that needs an EDIT.

I actually really enjoy teaching, but you’d never know it from the way I curl up in bed for half an hour with the curtains drawn until it’s time to put on pants, chug an espresso, and head out 💀

I have Columbia-issued ID as an alum, and this fucking school won’t even let me on campus for my fucking library access without putting me through a shitload of extra steps. Admin let these ICE goons on purpose in to threaten their own fucking students and put down protest

She’s a fucking Queen for this 👑

shit like this makes me want to move back home 😭

This is great advice. I definitely chopped off half a foot by myself a few weeks back. Nobody noticed, not even me 😹

Come summertime I am going to become frustrated with the weight and length of my mermaid hair. It is absolutely crucial that nobody let me chop it all off again 🙏🏽

Thrilled to announce that I am inexplicably God’s Favorite?!

Wowwowowowowowowow Fanny eternally ahead of her time ✨
