Google does it again: This is not Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel

Cecile sighting

ALLE die hier aufgeführten Webseiten anschreiben *endless scream* Aber so könnte das zustande kommen: Man googlet nach Fanny, findet eine kleine, eher gedrungene & pausbäckige Frau & nimmt dann offenbar DAS HÜBSCHESTE ANTLITZ. Auch eine Art #Sexismus, weil gefälliger. Habe das so satt.

Wieder so ne Peinlichkeit. NEIEN, DAS IST NICHT FANNY MENDELSSOHN, SONDERN FELIX' EHEFRAU, ZEFIX! Vor ein paar Wochen hatte ich ein Online-Klassikportal, von dem dieser Shit ausging & hoch bei Google gerankt wurde, nach über 2 Jahren des Bittens & Bettels immerhin dahingekriegt, das zu löschen 🤬

Dishwasher Sunday post icymi yesterday

Then opened the dishwasher to find an herbal teabag smoldering on the heating coil. It smells bad and the cat is distressed but otherwise all ok. This has been your weekly dishwasher report.

There is a federal comment page embedded in the article. Please use it!!!!

More than half of the wetlands in the lower 48 are already gone. Now USFWS may weaken protections for wetlands that taxpayers and hunters already paid to preserve permanently. Since when does “permanent protection” not mean permanent protection?

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

Woke up to a burning smell, couldn’t find it. Checked all the cables and outlets, they were fine. It wasn’t coming from outside—maybe from the unit below us? Looked everywhere for like 20 minutes; it wasn’t getting worse but it wasn’t going away. Figured I’d just stay alert and go about my morning.

Alarming how many beard oil products are made to smell like hard liquor. Guys, what is wrong

I wrote about why i bothered making physical scores The tldr is that there are systemic disadvantages to digital-only music, which is disproportionately by marginalized composers, and I want to try to address those for my users who have reached out about it. And also that some people prefer paper.

Can't believe @henselpushers.bsky.social didn't settle all the questions suggested by the title! (it's interesting to learn more reasons why printed scores are needed, and the challenges thereof) www.patreon.com/HenselPusher...

Here is a link to a fabulous performance video of the Auenbrugger sonata performed by Yumiao Mai on a historic instrument at my employer university (and grad alma mater), I've known this excellent composition for years because it appeared in my music theory classes of yore youtu.be/hGyFQcDIGKc?...

Antonio Salieri ("Amadeus" does him dirty because he was actually a pretty good dude and paid to publish his student Marianna Auenbrugger's original piano music after she died in her early 20s while Mozart was too busy stealing ideas from Joseph Bologne)

AI Companies Are Buying Antique Books, Ingesting Their Contents to Train Models, and Then Destroying Them at Incredible Scale, Even If Almost No Copies Remain

The man working at the hardware store just wished me good luck on my “next quest”, as I left with a handful of paint swatches and no other items, so, he gets it.

Yesterday was KS Chithra's 63rd birthday! A legend in her time as one of India's most beloved playback singers, she has recorded 25,000 songs in a dozen languages over the course of a half century, and received more awards than it is possible to list here. We wish her all the best! #WomensHistory

I may have posted this before, but it's still awesome. The aesthetic is in continuity with the postwar avant-garde I imprinted on as a teenager, but it's individual, beautiful, and full of variety. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjOE...

I don’t post music much here but I agree. And I want to see other people’s music posts. I like almost everything, except EDM.

Free speech matters. So does verifying what's true. Without a stable historical record, accountability suffers. A new paper, THE POLITICAL THREATS OF VANISHING CULTURE AND THE NEED TO PROTECT OUR FUTURE MEMORY, explores why. 📖 Read or download ⬇️ journals.library.wustl.edu/pollib/artic... 🧵

Hey you look like you need a Fanny Hensel composer bust??

Somehow never knew about this Ysaÿe student born in Prescott, Wisconsin, in 1864. She became a conductor of women's orchestras in the Twin Cities 💕 to Nellie Hope en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nellie_...
