I am almost speechless that this story is being used by a law firm to advertise legal defense for accused rapists. I guess they saw a great potential market. 😡

Well, that escalated—this post is now a radio show. You can hear me talking about this Florence Price piece, playing excerpts and examples of errors, and discussing why this matters so much (my segment starts around 30:30 of this episode) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

And @nyphil? A high-powered group of musicians has put out ANOTHER petition urging you to lift the NDAs. Everyone: sign and let the orchestra know how you feel about this. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
Hey @nyphil, if you're serious about investigating your institutional culture, please release Cara Kizer and others from their NDAs so the truth can actually come out. Everyone else, sign this petition to show Philharmonic many people share this view. change.org/p/release-cara…
#BREAKING: A new outside investigator has been retained by @nyphil to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct against their musicians. People who speak with the investigator are being told that their statements may also be shared with @Local_802_AFM counsel.
Individuals can contact the investigators by reaching out to: [email protected], [email protected] or 914-338-8023.
Let me get a few things off my chest about sexual harassment in classical music. annemidgette.com/blog/f/an-open… via @classicalbeat
@classicalbeat Don't worry. I just wrote a story based on it in Chinese yesterday. Now it's known by additional 1.4 billion readers.
I wanted to share a bit more about the process behind this reporting. I started emailing Matthew Muckey and Liang Wang in September seeking an interview. I sent five emails over five months; despite reading the emails, I got no responses.
Some personal news. I'm thrilled to be part of this group.
Some personal news. I'm thrilled to be part of this group.
In case anyone thinks these shenanigans @nyphil are new, @classicalbeat has been covering for years @WashPost wapo.st/3Ui98Cw
Rapists are expensive: in the wake of @Sammy_Sussman 's article about rape by @nyphil musicians, Zeneba Bowers adds up the numbers to determine that this incident has cost the Philharmonic around $3 million. And orchestras are struggling for money. Ha. facebook.com/share/p/v7fppL…
Musicians Liang Wang and Matthew Muckey were fired from the New York Philharmonic for sexual misconduct. Why are they back playing with the orchestra? trib.al/ZctLY9C
Harrowing new details reported with characteristic care and thoroughness by @Sammy_Sussman. This is a stomach-turning read but a necessary one. vulture.com/article/new-yo…
Another long-overdue #MeToo story is finally told; kudos to @Sammy_Sussman. The first 2 women to land jobs in the @nyphil brass section were denied tenure, one because she was raped by colleagues, the other because she stood up for her. vulture.com/article/new-yo…
I finally got it together to hard-boil the eggs for Easter in a timely fashion. But then we got busy and there was no appetite for dyeing them. 🤣
Dear Cookie Sheet Manufacturer: I thought contact with a hot oven floor was something your product was supposed to withstand. (OK, I accidentally left it in there. But still.) Related: our cinnamon buns will take a bit longer than expected. Happy Easter to those who celebrate.

Piers looks best on his TV show, where he employs a visual language he knows (dark suit, light shirt, dark tie). He just needs to learn a few more languages for when he's off the show and perhaps pay attention to Kermit the Frog.
Worth noting that I saw both of these types of locks at 6:30 on a gate on 120th (north edge of campus) BUT they were being used by Columbia to keep the gate closed.

Someone from @piersmorgan's staff asked if I would like to come onto Pier's show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, to talk about the state of his attire. Since he invited feedback, I thought I'd do a thread comparing his style to menswear icon Kermit the Frog. 🧵

@dieworkwear Man, these threads are great Twitter palate cleansers. Such a small detail but makes such a big difference, visually, even if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for. Anyone can see it. Cool.
But it's worth paying attention to how clothes create shapes. This is more useful than thinking, "Short jackets and slim pants are trending now, so I have to wear that."
