"No cheating. Your last saved celebrity pic is your therapist." I love my friends. I don't know if they're the friends I deserve, or need, or even want, but I love them and together we could storm a castle gate together any day. 💜
Instead of the royal "we" which mendaciously claims the plural when it's singular, how about the royal "me" which is the idea that everyone deserves just as much as I deserve, or at least commensurate to their quantity of labor rather than their social standing.

My classical (post-Romantic specifically) ears hear this and recognize that the legacy of the 20th century was the transition to jazz and that the 21st century could be the fusion of jazz-classical. A few more spaces in melody and dissonances in harmony, and this begins to approach classical.

If one wrote pop songs based on hymn tunes before 1900, would they be (ideally) undefendable in copyright law? 🤔 #copyright #music #composition

The fact that "time immemorial has a very specific date" is quickly starting to rival the fact that "wombats poop cubes and we now know why" as my favorite fun fact. #history #time #calendar
Time Immemorial turns 750: The Medieval law that froze history at 1189
You’ve probably heard of the phrase “time immemorial” as a general term for events that happened a very long time ago, but in fact, it has a specific meaning, and this year is its 750th anniversary.

Sometime roughly 30 years ago, I listened to this so much I have it completely memorized. And since then, I forgot I knew it back to front, until rewatching the movie tonight. Huh. #music #soundtrack #filmscore
