I love every single person who reblogged this
I don’t think people realize how much of an impact this kind of support can have, I don’t think everyone knows what these little things can mean to us.
It may just be me, I don’t know. But every single time I see this on my dash or on someone’s blog or anywhere else, I kind of just breathe a sigh of relief. That’s one more person who cares. That’s one more person who doesn’t hate me.
Because it means so much, especially when all the media is spewing out is that I’m a terrible person and no one wants people like me near them. It means so much because I’m tired of people who won’t sit next to me in class, or who choose to join the longer line at the grocery store because they don’t want to be beside me and my family. It means so much when I have to lift my head any time someone says the words Islam or Muslim because I’m scared that they’ll say something that’ll hurt, when I have to pay attention to the news because who knows what so and so is saying now, who knows which of my people are being attacked now, who knows what’s going to happen to me now.
It means so much because I’ve been given the idea that the world is against me. And a huge part of it may be, but at least I’ve been reminded that some of it, just a small group of people, acknowledges that I’m a person too. That people like me are just that, people.
Maybe it’s just me, I don’t know. But now you do, so thank you for believing that I’m human when so many people don’t.
Have a great day x
Go unfollow this blog all you want, I am reblogging this.
I am aware this does not follow this blog’s style, however, I find it necessary to reblog this
Step 1 - Attention-grabbing, one-measure introductory motif. Bring back when you need to wrench the audience back into the action. Step 2 - introduce romantic, but abusive male lead Step 3 - introduce innocent goddess female lead Step 4 - high C’s mean we’re in love! Step 5 - give woman a dagger (or tuberculosis, you know, your choice) Step 6 - ??? Step 7 - everyone’s dead and you’re rich!
I don’t remember when I found this .gif, or who made it (if you know, tell me so I can credit them), but it’s just the best thing.
Mostly in how the horn player is not only bracing his ear from the sound, but how the shock of the hammer makes his music bounce.
Not only the aforementioned, but the sheer look of displeasure on the bass clarinetist’s face.
I posit that this is absolutely the best moment in all of the known orchestral repertoire.
The person in red remains unfazed throughout the whole thing.
I am in love
ur welcome 2 come feel the weight of my feminist balls in your tiny hand

Rubinstein called the pedal “the soul of the piano.” But the pedal can be used like a soul in purgatory or like one in paradise. - Josef Lhevinne
this is an attack
boyfriend: yeah I think Ne-Yo played at Obama’s inauguration, how cool is that?
Me: since when have you, or I, ever cared about Ne-Yo?
boyfriend: what do you mean? He’s a famous cellist!
(he meant Yo-Yo Ma.)
all english teachers are either chaotic good or lawful evil
@mags-windham roger
@acousticophobic definitely chaotic good
I want to kiss you in a way that makes you not want to kiss anyone else ever again
Ok but wouldn't this mean in a generally revolting way as in "fuck, if that's what kissing is I ain't doing it again"
me practicing: Let’s get down to business to perfect these runs!
