On a call with other arts leaders yesterday when someone said "we're all for diversity, but not at the expense of quality." The lazy, ignorant and thoroughly inaccurate assumption that diversity = low quality is still so prevelant in the arts. There's so much work left to do.

Really brilliant, clear advice from Jonah on how to make your music ensemble more accessible to more talent! Sometimes, really small changes can make things a LOT more accessible.

Social inclusion matters more than you may think. When young musicians aren't worried about being judged, they can focus on the music. If they feel they can be themselves, they will share their musical ideas more freely. Promote inclusion and friendship #HappyPrideMonth2023

Million/billion often get bandied about, but we rarely consider how different they are. For context, a million seconds is just over 11 days. A billion seconds = 32.7 YEARS! Having billionaires in our society is completely untenable. No one should have that much money IMO.

If anyone's wondering where I am, I'm coming off Twitter for a while. My mental health has been up and down recently and Twitter isn't helping, I don't think I ever come off it feeling happier than when I went on. Big love to everyone until next we meet. 😘
