I cannot speak for all Jewish people, nor all trans people, nor all queer people. I can speak to my lived and observed experiences. I can speak to the fears I have, the hopes and dreams I have, and the love and pain I have witnessed and felt. “To everything…

There comes a point when saying the same thing repeatedly does more harm than good. (Feel and say what you need to feel and say. This is where I’m at right now in the Some Like it Hot and longer discourse.) Here are some words I don’t know if everyone…

I’ll be focusing on gender and voice and many other music nerd things in grad school, but I had to make an initial statement on this area that has affected several people I care about, including me. We tell cis boys and anyone else whose voice has been affected by…

Chag Sameach and all that good stuff. It’s important I share this. During Shavuot and Pride in 2016, there was a mass shooting in Orlando at Pulse Nightclub. The people who were killed that night must never be forgotten. Since then, things have mainly gotten bleaker. We are in crisis…

First things first, I would call this play: Harry Potter and a Life Beyond Her. — She taught us all that saying a name takes away its power, but her supporters are rather unkind, to say the least. I won’t name her here. I also won’t give the big spoilers because I’m not a monster. It was a cool show, though. As a gen Z- millennial…

Some context before my concert tomorrow. I could go on about the many hours spent scrambling for people because life continues to happen and the world is in ongoing crises- but that’s going to be the only mention here. I’ve spent enough of my time freaking out. These last 3+…
