EVERYWHERE I LOOK
Everywhere I look I see hate. I see fear in Michael Knowles threatening to “eradicate all trans people” if the republican party is elected. I see fear from both sides though. I see fear from all my transgender and non-binary friends that I hold near and dear to my heart. Interestingly, I see fear on the republicans’ side of things as well. For it is fear of the people that we do not understand that leads to hatred. For it easier to fear the people we do not understand and mask it with hatred and disgust than it is to have an open and kind conversation. For it is easier to fear and hate a person who we do not understand to the point of dehumanizing them, than it is to take the time to get to know the people underneath all of your prejudice. Everywhere I look I see irony. I see irony in the republican party claiming to ground themselves in “pro-life” ideologies, yet once the fetus becomes the ‘wrong’ type of person, in the eyes of the far-right, their life is no longer of value. Everywhere I look I see irony. The baby inside of a womb is valuable the second it creates a heartbeat, in the eyes of republicans, yet the heartbeat of transgender, non-binary folk, and people of colour (POC) is expendable. The second they turn from a helpless baby, into a capable human being, they are expendable. Everywhere I look I see irony. If Michael Knowles had threatened to eradicate all Jewish people, it would be considered a hate crime and he could be facing jail-time for life. I guess we only care about certain genocides. Everywhere I look I see hate. In Michael Knowles speech he talks a lot about how trans people cannot possibly exist. Almost as if he thinks transgender people are sustained the same way Tinkerbelle is, through people believing in them. Everywhere I look I see irony. Fascinatingly, the earliest findings of trans and non-binary folk was in 2000BC in Mesopotamia. It would appear, that trans and non-binary folk have always existed, regardless of whether or not the far-right policies believe in them. It would appear trans people are not Tinkerbelle and they will not simply decease to exist if you shut your eyes and refuse to see them. Nevertheless, that is not to say this attempt erasure of a peoples is not harmful in and of itself. Pretending trans and non-binary folk do not exist is harmful and it is dangerous. Trans and non-binary folk have 14X the chance of becoming a victim of suicide than the average joe. However, this harm will not stop them from existing. Just as non-binary people will never stop existing either. Not even a genocide could allow for the complete erasure of trans and non-binary folk because there will be a continuation of new babies born (before the planet explodes, or before we kill the planet). And just as babies are born with blue eyes, or black skin, or blonde hair, they are also born with brains. Gender identity, and gender spectrums, are engraved into our brains. When did hate become easier than love? When has a political figure that threatened a genocide ever been on the right side of history? What did we all sit through social studies for if not to know the answer to that question?

Matt Walsh's show is equal parts stupid and sociopathic
Tumblr media
That smug expression, god I'm already hating this and I haven't even pressed play yet. (Source: Matt Walsh Show at the Daily Wire)
The year is 2024 and Matt Walsh is still...well himself. If last years episode where I stated that he blatantly lacks empathy didn't tip you off, I really do not like this guy. He's one of the smuggest and most openly sociopathic people in the conservative movement today, proudly arguing that rights should be taken away from trans people for the crime of simply existing and ranting about his fantasies of calling transwomen ugly men live on air (see the link above).
While there has been a rash of Michael Knowles coverage on this blog recently, mostly because he can't stop making a fool out of himself, I feel like this post is going back to the blogs roots since our first post here was about Matt Walsh.
Matt Walsh has started off 2024 in a predictably boring yet bigoted and miserable way with his first episode of the year being about the "trans agenda". Today Matt has a very gross episode for us so lets get into it shall we? Also he seems to think being straight is being gay so that's gonna be lovely to address.
03:50, Matt Walsh: "This week James Madison High School in Brooklyn cancelled classes so that busloads of hundreds of illegal migrants could move into the school during bad weather."
So, Matt's "main story" for todays broadcast is this high school in Brooklyn that was temporarily closed so that it could function as an emergency shelter for asylum seekers during a snow storm. The children at said school were made to do E-Learning for the time being.
While I personally think that New York City needs to find a more permanent solution to where to house asylum seekers during snow storms and the like, I support this decision from the standpoint of the city using what they have. Keep in mind that this was a winter storm and many of these families had small children with them. Many of said families could have very well died that day had the city not relocated them into that school. Considering that Matt Walsh is "pro-life" he should be happy that Brooklyn is preventing the unnecessary death of minors. However since these are brown skinned children, Matt responds with a predictably cold lack of empathy.
Naturally, wherever Matt and Conservative grifters like him go bomb threats seem to follow and this story is no exception. The school received a bomb threat after making the decision.
04:30, Matt Walsh: "This is so hard to believe. It's so contrary to the concept of a sovereign nation that I think it bares repeating. New York just ordered a public high school to displace American students, children who have every right to be in this country, in order to house criminal foreigners who crossed the border illegally."
Let's keep in mind that again, most of these people had children with them. I don't think using schools as shelters is a permanent or feasible solution but I also feel like given the resources the city was dealing with at the time it was the right thing to do. I would urge the city to find a better solution but I wouldn't criticize them for protecting a vulnerable group of people with children from dangerous weather.
Let's also keep in mind that this is a high school, not an elementary school. These aren't small children, these are teenagers and they are being asked to remote learn for a day. If this was an elementary school I would see the parents concerns here a lot more clearly, but you're telling me that teenagers can't stay home alone and learn remotely for one day? Odds are that remote school might have happened anyway due to the storm. This is simply racists lacking empathy for others.
05:45, Matt Walsh: "But even if we did know exactly who these migrants were it doesn't matter, they don't have a right to be in this country much less in our schools."
That doesn't take away the right that children and babies have to live. The school opened back up on Monday after the storm ended and everyone was fine, no "American children" died and no permanent mental distress occurred, but some children's lives may have been saved.
Again, one day of e-learning isn't going to kill anyone but being caught in a storm just might. While discussion should be had about how to properly and humanely house asylum seekers in NYC, this kind of inflammatory bigoted nonsense does not help the discussion.
06:09, Matt Walsh: "But we are putting adult foreigners above our own children"
Even in the video that Matt played of one of the parents screaming at the asylum seekers coming off the bus, children are clearly seen getting off as well. To omit the fact that most of these people had children and even babies with them is to omit a key part of why this decision was made in the first place.
But then again, if there's one thing Matt has made abundantly clear during his storied career of being a bigoted asshole it's that he doesn't care who dies as a result of the rhetoric he pushes.
This was obvious after the Club Q shooting in Colorado where instead of putting his bigotry to the side and acting like an actual human being in the face of a tragedy, Walsh doubled down on his hateful rhetoric and went on a deranged rant about drag queens. One of the more lovely quotes in said rant was;
"“If [drag] is causing this much chaos and violence, why do you insist on continuing to do it? If according to you it’s putting people’s lives at risk… why are you still doing it, is it that important to you?”
If this sounds like blaming the victims of a mass shooting for their own deaths, congratulations you have eyes! The point I am trying to make here is that Matt displays a disturbing pattern of not caring about the human cost of his own rhetoric and a lack of empathy towards the people in the stories he covers and it's no different here.
06:15, Matt Walsh: "And they're doing this at literal gunpoint by the way. And all the parents can do is film and all the parents can do is film or they'll be arrested and charged with hate crimes probably."
The police presence at the school isn't "literal gunpoint" but if Matt is so concerned about police presence that's a talk I would be willing to have, too bad that talk will never happen since going against the police would lead to conversations around police brutality that are a bit awkward for Matt's Conservative worldview.
Public high schools aren't public in the sense that anybody can do whatever they please with them, they are still owned by the government. As a result the government of NYC, knowing that this decision would be controversial and would attract right-wing attention, sent some officers to the school to ensure the safety of the asylum seekers and the enforcement of the decision. Also they wouldn't be charged for hate crimes, that notion is a completely absurd construction that Matt is putting forth to his bigoted audience to make them angry. If they were to be charged with anything, which I doubt they would be, it would be trespassing.
07:33, Matt Walsh: "By the way it's great that there are a few parents out there that are filming this and are expressing their outrage but the fact that every parent isn't out there protesting, the fact that there are only a few, is pathetic in and of itself."
Probably because most parents realize that one day of e-learning isn't that big a deal and is a small price to pay for saving the lives of some children and the ones who are out seem more concerned that it's a group of non-white people temporarily moving into the school.
Just a thought.
07:49, Matt Walsh: "Now there might be a reason for some of that which is that the media isn't talking about this, you're not gonna find that footage on the national news or even the local news."
Hey ding-dong, I guess you don't have Google because a quick Google search for "Brooklyn high school migrants" brought this up.
Tumblr media
How do you think I learnt about this story? My vivid imagination? No, I read about it in the New York Times. As for the video of the one woman yelling which was posted by known extremely credible journalistic source "Libs of TikTok" (which is more proof that Chaya Raichik's fans REALLY like sending bomb threats to places by the way) it doesn't add anything to the story. It's just one woman screaming at people and the news has already covered the protest in detail. It adds absolutely nothing to the conversation.
08:35, Matt Walsh: "No media organizations, even the ones that claim to focus entirely on big events in the city of New York, are tracking down the parents to hear exactly what's happening here."
Matt Walsh is a moron: a story in screenshots.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Those guys with cameras are from the nonexistent media, totally no coverage at all (Source: New York Post)
Hey look, the New York Post did speak to some parents who were pissed off at the decision. Quote:
“The writing was on the wall the minute the city started being inundated with migrants,” said one mother who only gave her name as Maria. “It’s disgusting. It should not be put on us taxpayers.” (New York Post)
Tumblr media
Ignore the microphones with LITERAL NEWS AGENCIES LOGOS ON THEM, there was zero media coverage (Source: New York Post)
Just so you know, this Post article was posted on the 10th and Walshes episode came out on the 11th so it was completely available to him then. I hate to use the shitrag known as the New York Post as a source but the fact is that it's a major publication that interviewed the parents and has pictures proving that the news agencies were there. No media coverage my ass.
11:11, Matt Walsh: "But if you are wondering why the left was so intent on implementing those lockdowns, well there's your answer, they wanted a precedent they could use in the future and already they're using it in order to house illegal migrants in public school."
Surely it couldn't have been because there was a massive public health emergency that was killing thousands of people, no it was so that they could house asylum seekers in a high school for one day during a snow storm.
This makes absolutely zero sense when you think about it for more than five seconds.
11:44, Matt Walsh: "This is destruction that doesn't benefit any particular political party over another, it's destruction that's calibrated to destroy the entire foundation of this entire country."
Matt Walsh has a formula for these episodes. Introduce the topic, instead of arguing against what he is covering argue against some bizarre strawman version of it that is way broader than the actual topic, declare that this will lead to the literal end of society, and move on.
Notice how Matt leaves out key details of the story like the fact that this was during a snow storm and how most of the asylum seekers being moved in were family units with children in order to strengthen his argument. He also overinflates the entire thing from some teenagers being made to do one day of E-learning to some kind of grandiose permanent thing that the Democrats planned in advance during COVID and by the way they'll be making YOU house asylum seekers in your home next. Watching the Matt Walsh Show is like consuming news through some bizarre funhouse mirror version of reality.
Think about it, Matt never really argues the points he's trying to make, mostly because he probably realizes that most of what he actually believes would get his ass thrown off pretty much every social media platform in existence and that stops the money from flowing. What he does instead is rant about how the left is causing the literal end of society. How is the left causing the literal end of society? Who knows?! They just are!
11:55, Matt Walsh: "And if you don't believe that, consider the fact that just a few months ago, illegal migrants in New York City started encroaching on the turf of the single most reliable voting block for the Democratic Party, which is Black people on welfare and these migrants started showing up early to snag their handouts."
Nothing to see here, just another classic Matt Walsh being a racist moment. This is really just Matt's excuse to get in a dig at black people for daring to take government assistance money and it's so blatantly obvious. Otherwise why else would he bring this up? It's still not addressing the main issue at hand which is the school in Brooklyn, it's a completely different topic entirely.
But like I said before, Matt's show is very free of actual points outside of just saying something bigoted and then declaring that society is over because of said bigoted thing.
12:13, Matt Walsh: "This is like something out of a sketch comedy show, it would be funny if it weren't so tragic."
It's so nice of Matt to concisely describe my feelings regarding his show and the conservative media ecosystem as a whole.
14:12, Matt Walsh: "Here's what Chicago's O'Hare Airport looks like right now. The airport, one of the biggest in the country, is now walling off entire sections so that they can be used as migrant encampments."
This is even less of a story than the high school in Brooklyn. Small parts of this massive airport are being used to temporarily provide shelter for arriving asylum seekers in order to provide them shelter from the cold. Just so you guys know, parts of O'Hare have been used as a crisis shelter for months and society still hasn't ended. Why Matt Walsh has only decided to pick up on this story now is a mystery to us all. They are also using Terminal 4 to shelter the asylum seekers which isn't even a terminal used for flights. It's a shuttle bus terminal.
Just an aside, has Matt Walsh never been to an airport? People sleep on the floors at airports all the freaking time, hell I've done it!
14:52, Matt Walsh: "Granted people in airports already tend to splay out on the ground and treat terminals like campgrounds but this is taking that to another level."
How Matt? Because the people who are doing it are a different race than you? Airports are already filled to the brim with people who are sleeping on the floor due to missed flights and the like, that's just how it's been since the beginning of commercial air travel.
Matt still hasn't mentioned that this isn't a part of the airport that people are flying out of.
15:17, Matt Walsh: "The government is now ceding critical infrastructure to foreigners who have no right to be in the country."
That's a funny way of saying "They've allowed asylum seekers to sleep inside a bus terminal at an airport so they don't freeze to death."
This decision hasn't impacted air traffic out of O'Hare at all, if it did you could bet that more people that aren't Matt Walsh would be talking about this.
Notice how Matt doesn't really have a point here. His argument is as follows;
"People are sleeping on the floor at an airport, granted people already do that but this is different for some reason, also civilization is going to collapse because people are sleeping on the floor at an airport."
Notice how it makes zero sense, so little sense in fact that Matt refuted his own argument right after making it.
15:22, Matt Walsh: "Pretty soon we're not gonna be simply ceding public buildings, they'll take private property too."
"FEAR, FEAR, FEAR. Btw, no I don't have any proof for this"
15:28, Matt Walsh: "Already the government is laying the groundwork for that and once again COVID set the precedent. Remember when the Biden Administration banned evictions?"
The eviction moratorium was a humane decision given the circumstances. Numerous people were being put out of work by the pandemic and as a result were made more vulnerable financially, thus putting them at greater risk of eviction. That decision protected the American citizens that Matt's spent the entire episode saying he cares about, it's almost as if he doesn't care about the American public at all.
How on Earth does a temporary eviction moratorium lead to you being forced to house asylum seekers by the way? There is absolutely no direct line from one to the other. It makes zero sense like pretty much everything Matt's saying in this episode.
I'm starting to respect Michael Knowles a bit more because of this episode. Michael Knowles has a complete and total lack of talent that bleeds into all of the content he produces and so does Matt Walsh. The difference is that Michael will spend his episodes either watching CNN or reading an article from some publication and then go "this thing bad because libs" and then move on to the next article/CNN video. When Michael is made to talk about one thing for extended periods without reading someone elses work, he'll inevitably end up saying something stupid like how Mickey Mouse should be turned into a Nazi to own the libs but he mainly avoids that by reading others work and throwing up a two minute soundbite about it afterwards. The difference between Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles is that Michael seems to have a level of begrudging understanding of his lack of talent that Matt lacks. The issue is that Matt will try to talk about issues for extended periods of time and he usually makes a complete fool out of himself at best and reveals how much of a bigot he is at worst. Today it's a bit of column A and a bit of column B and we still haven't even gotten to his dumbass take on Valentines Day that went viral.
15:46, Matt Walsh: "Now public officials are once again suggesting that private property must be surrendered, and this time for the benefit of illegal migrants. Just a few months ago politicians in Massachusetts and New York demanded that residents offer up their homes to foreign nationals, watch."
Matt plays some clips of politicians asking their constituents to volunteer to host a migrant family. There's one word I'd like to emphasize and that's volunteer. Nobody is forcing American's to take on a family of aslylum seekers unlike what Matt's bestie Chaya Raichik would have you believe. It's on a 100% volunteer basis and the clip from Massachusetts makes that abundantly clear. And in case you are still concerned about asylum seekers being forced into your home, that clip of the governor of Massachusetts was taken in August of last year and no asylum seekers have been forced into peoples homes since then. Real weak, real stupid.
17:35, Matt Walsh: "If you're a landlord or property owner we can use you too. Very appropriately phrased isn't it? We can -- not even like 'we can use your property', we can use you."
What the governor was saying was that the state could use the help of landlords to deal with the massive influx of asylum seekers that they are seeing. I do believe that the Biden Administration itself isn't doing enough to help these cities with the influx in asylum seekers but that's a conversation that Matt isn't having here. Instead what we get is fearmongering about a clip taken in August of the governor of Massachusetts asking for people to volunteer space in their homes if they can to help deal with the influx of asylum seekers and maybe provide space to a family in need, not forcing people to take in asylum seekers like Matt is claiming here.
17:57, Matt Walsh: "This is one of the things Americans fought the Revolutionary War to prevent, that's why the Constitution prevents quartering troops in peoples homes."
Without the homeowners consent, so quartering troops is on a volunteer basis....like quartering asylum seekers is. I can't help but feel like leaving that part of the third amendment out was a conscious decision on Matt's part.
Also this is such a ridiculous comparison to make. It's not like America has seen a massive influx in troops that don't have previously established homes in the country and are in urgent need of housing.
18:16, Matt Walsh: "What we're seeing are illegal migrants, criminals, taking over your airports and your childs schools. At this rate it won't be too long until these criminals start walking into television stations with grenades."
Undocumented immigrant crime is insanely low when you look at the numbers. In Texas a study from The National Academy of Sciences USA discovered that the undocumented migrant conviction rate was 45% below that of native born Texans. Seems like a segment of the population that is very unlikely to walk into television stations with grenades.
Just to recap, Matt's bombshell proof of this migrant takeover is a school being used to shelter migrant families during a storm for a day and a bus terminal at an airport being used as a shelter for migrants for months with nothing bad happening there during said months. I can't stress enough how weak this is.
Matt finishes this story, does an ad pivot, and starts his five headlines thing. He mumbles incoherently about the debates and Chris Christie. It's very stupid. He's not saying anything of value, mostly just his thoughts on political candidates interspersed with smug comments about people he doesn't like. Here's some of Matt talking shit about Chris Christies "hot mic" moment.
25:29, Matt Walsh: "So he forgot that he had a mic on or forgot that it was hot, didn't know it was hot, and just so happened to say a bunch of stuff that would be embarrassing for his rivals but not for him personally. He comes off well because he's saying 'we told the truth but they didn't want to hear it and we worked hard'. So he said a bunch of things that are flattering for him, he didn't know, the world got a glimpse of what he says behind the scenes and it just so happens that for that 60 second period he was saying things that are flattering to himself and embarrassing to his rivals. What an enormously convenient accident for Chris Christie."
Or he did actually forget and was shit talking about people he doesn't like. Is it that hard to believe that a politician talks shit about his rivals behind the scenes and has a bit of an inflated sense of self?
I mean, there's a chance that it was faked since he did indeed come on a little thick so this isn't anywhere near the main thing that I'm gonna push back on Matt about. I do think there's also a chance that he didn't know.
Matt decides to talk shit about Ohio's anti-trans legislature. There's not much here, just mumbling incoherently about long since debunked myths about "child castration". It's not really much of anything and we aren't talking about it. Let's talk about tackle football for minors
30:04, Matt Walsh: "Ok, I have a -- I wanna play this for you. This is a news report, a local news report, out of the communist nation of California which is on the way to banning tackle football for children."
So, California is moving to ban tackle football for kids under twelve. I found the fact that pre-pubescent children are out there playing tackle football really strange and disturbing considering the concussion rates that tackle football has amongst adults, let alone small children who by definition have more fragile bodies than adults.
As it turns out, the impacts that playing tackle football has on minors are extremely harmful for their future development. A study from the CDC found that children between six and fourteen who play tackle football are 15 times more likely to sustain head impacts and 23 times more likely to sustain hard head impacts (ie; ones that literally shake your brain inside your skull which puts you at risk for brain injuries) than children who play flag football.
For those who don't know, flag football is a much safer alternative to tackle football for minors. In it, the players aren't allowed to make contact with each other and wear flags that the player is supposed to remove. This is designed to remove the need for players to tackle each other which, as we've already established, is quite dangerous.
Now since one of Matt Walsh's favorite arguments against gender affirming care is "think of the children", you would think such a massive defender of children's safety would be all for this. He isn't because it's a bill that was authored by the democrats and one of the requirements for working at the Daily Wire is being a contrarian asshole who automatically assumes that everything the Democrats and people on the left do is bad.
32:10, Matt Walsh: "Ok so, maybe it won't surprise you to learn that I hate this idea, banning tackle football. And it's something that you hear, California obviously is first up to the plate, but there's support for it all across the country and my prediction is that if California does it a bunch of other states will follow. And I think it's terrible."
Notice how Matt's initial arguments are "this is bad because I think it sucks". Matt does elaborate on his points a little later on but really all he has is that he doesn't like it because it goes against his staunchly traditional view of masculinity and outside of that he has nothing.
32:59, Matt Walsh: "Generally this is a reflection of our feminized society, yet again. It is a very feminine womanly thing to look at a sport where boys are tackling each other and say 'Oh that's too dangerous.'"
I love how much of a twelve year old boy Matt is here.
"Yeah, I'm gonna ignore all the data that say that concussions among young children are more common in tackle football because expressing concern that children might get hurt is so girly."
What a moron.
33:21, Matt Walsh: "Now I understand why women feel that way."
Because they've seen the data? Oh right, misogyny.
33:35, Matt Walsh: "That's also why women are not the foremost authority on what sorts of activities are best for boys."
Still not addressing the actual data regarding concussions. Misogyny isn't a replacement for actual arguments.
34:24, Matt Walsh: "Why can't they just play flag football instead? Well, because flag football is lame, that's why. You know why we don't have boys play flag football? Because girls can play flag football."
Ignoring the whole "not getting concussed as a minor is lame" aspect of this, this argument makes no sense. Women can also play baseball, should we get rid of that?
Also, women can play tackle football so this is a moot point. Matt has zero idea what he is talking about outside of "boys rule, girls drool" and it shows.
10/10 journalist Matt Walsh's next brilliant headline is "Breaking: Men from Mars and Women from Venus."
34:59, Matt Walsh: "So football will go from being a masculine sport for boys who want to go out there and tackle and be rough to a fun activity for girls and boys to do together, which is to say it will lose all of it's value."
Ok, so do boys need to "go out there and tackle" when they have more fragile bodies at 9 years old? No, there are much safer ways to do that. Plus, tackle football isn't being banned outright. It's simply being banned for ages that studies have shown that it's unsafe for.
35:35, Matt Walsh: "First of all, tackle football for kids is not that dangerous. There is this very, again very womanly, panic around tackle football. 'Oh it's too dangerous, they're hitting eachother.' It's not that bad actually, especially for young kids. In fact, for kids in that age range, the exact range that they are banning it for, it is especially safe at that age range."
Note how I have data to back up my argument that tackle football presents a risk to minors whereas Matt just has "It just is safe!"
I urge anyone who is a fan of Matt Walsh to keep an eye out for the fact that he never seems to have anything to support the arguments he is making. All of his arguments boil down to "it just is because I said so!" and he never seems to elaborate beyond that. If Matt has a recent study that says that tackle football is especially safe for minors, I'd love to see it. Otherwise he is just saying things with no evidence.
36:06, Matt Walsh: "Did you know that more kids die from baseball injuries every year than football injuries under the age of twelve?"
That isn't the conversation we are having. The conversation is about the long term impacts of tackle football related head trauma on minors, not fatalities. The issue is that the head injuries sustained while playing tackle football have the potential to cause serious harm later in life.
The bar for whether something is dangerous or not shouldn't be "Well, at least they aren't dying", otherwise you'll end up opening the door for a whole bunch of other dangerous and rightfully banned stuff for minors to come back.
Also you just know that Matt would freak out if we tried banning baseball for minors.
37:08, Matt Walsh: "Because these people are morons they don't understand that the worst thing you could do is ban tackle football for young ages but it's still legal for the--because now you're taking kids and they're not gonna learn, when they're still young and not very fast and strong, they're not gonna learn how to tackle and then you bring them into high school and now they're much bigger and stronger and faster and they've never learned to tackle and you're saying 'alright kids, go crazy'. Now you're gonna end up with a lot more injuries because of that."
Does....does Matt not realize that we can learn things when we grow older? Plenty of professional football players learnt how to tackle in high school and not when they were little kids. You can learn those skills when you are older.
37:45, Matt Walsh: "The second point which I think is the broader point that's important is that, as I've argued many times, society needs to have outlets for male aggression and energy."
Ignoring Matt's portrayal of boys as a net entity that don't have a distinctive personality outside of "aggressive", there are other ways to provide that outlet that don't put children at risk of long term head injuries. I used to occasionally play wrestle with my dad as a kid, I'm not a masculine guy in real life at all but I was certainly an energetic child and that provided a safe and fun outlet for me to get that energy out (although in retrospect it was probably quite tiring for my poor dad).
Now, some boys don't have fathers which is a point that Matt bandies about later but let's say you've got an aggressive and energetic boy that desperately needs an outlet yet doesn't have a father. You think there aren't other safer sports that aren't tackle football?
The point I'm trying to make is that there are dozens of other outlets to get that energy out, hell flag football could be one of them. You're still running around and getting that energy out. Basketball is significantly more popular than football amongst the youth anyway and that provides a fun outlet for that energy.
40:06, Matt Walsh: "And yet one by one, as a society we are taking away all of the healthy organized outlets for male aggression. How is that working out? How's it working out? Like, are we ending up with less violence and less aggression in society? No we're not. We're just ending up with the kind of violence that doesn't happen on the dodgeball field or a football field."
Notice how we went through the Matt Walsh argument cycle I mentioned earlier yet again. He introduced the topic, didn't address the main point which is that studies have shown the tackle football leads to increased head injuries amongst minors and instead ranted about masculinity, and then declared that banning tackle football will lead to increased violence with absolutely zero evidence.
I've watched a lot of the Matt Walsh Show for this blog and I will continue to do so and I feel like the more I watch the more I start to understand the kind of intellectually dishonest arguments Matt likes to make. Notice how Matt hasn't engaged with the point about youth being at greater risk for concussions when they play tackle football beyond "Well, I don't think that's true and nobody is dying". It's even worse when he tries to discuss trans issues because that's almost entirely informed by his own bigotry.
While Matt is less brazenly stupid than Tim Pool and Charlie Kirk, which is easy to do since my cat is probably less brazenly stupid than those two dipshits, he's a kind of subtle dumb that you start to notice when you pay attention to what he's actually saying. Although when he's talking about minority groups it's a way more brazen and sociopathic dumb.
40:36, Matt Walsh: "And that brings us to the point those coaches (he played a local news clip that involved some coaches speaking) were making about the disparate impact and the one time I'll agree with that point because as they said, young black boys especially, need these kinds of outlets and why do they need it? Well because many of them don't have fathers at home and -- you have a father at home who's active and involved and one of the things a father does is to help a boy understand how to take all that energy and channel it in healthy ways."
And again, there are safer ways for them to channel their energy. Flag football and basketball are significantly safer ways to channel energy that don’t open minors up to the risk of long term brain damage. The kids are still running around and interacting with other boys and I've yet to see an argument from Matt here that isn't "I think flag football is lame".
And what about countries where tackle football for minors is either not a thing or isn't that expansive? I grew up in Canada and tackle football leagues for minors weren't, and still aren't, that much of a thing here (we mostly play ice hockey at a young age which is a sport that Matt thinks is girly for some reason despite most hockey players ending up losing more than a few teeth by the time they retire).
41:03, Matt Walsh: "If you don't have a father you don't have that and that's why in particular, those kinds of boys, tackle football is very good for them. Even with the dangers and the risks it's still very good."
Uh Matt....didn't you just spend ten minutes of my day explaining how tackle football isn't dangerous at all? So I guess there are dangers and risks but apparently risking a concussion is good for boys even though they can get exactly what Matt is talking about from safer sources and sports.
41:14, Matt Walsh: "On top of that there's the male role models, the male influences, they get from their coaches."
I don't understand this point. Does Matt think that tackle football is the only sport with male coaches? You can get those same influences from other less dangerous sports.
If you had a good experience with tackle football as a kid, that's awesome and I am not trying to downplay that, I just think that there are other ways for young boys in the age range that California is banning football for to get into sports that put them at less risk in the future. And again, I'm not saying we ban tackle football for minors as a whole and neither is California, but I do feel like before you are twelve years old safety should be a priority and that includes safety in sports.
Anyway, this might come as a shock to you but the guy who thinks that the Democrats most reliable voting base is "black people on welfare" doesn't give two shits about young black boys without fathers. All this story is for him is an excuse to be a misogynistic asshole and rant about how society is "too feminized". And if you don't believe me, here's the very next thing he says.
42:32, Matt Walsh: "Young men aren't allowed to have anything, they just can't have anything cause we look at everything from this pathetic, weak, feminized mentality and we say 'that's upsetting, this is a little too rough. Calm down kids. Here take some drugs, we'll drug you instead to calm you down'"
Since Matt Walsh is a mental illness denier who thinks ADHD is just "a product of our environment" it's not really surprising that he thinks that the cure for ADHD (I'm assuming that's what he's talking about at least, it's hard to tell because the drugs thing came out of absolutely nowhere) is tackle football. Why is it the cure? Because Matt says so and whatever Matt says is automatically correct at all times.
But notice how he is basically just whining about how society is "too girly" and how young men aren't allowed to have anything. This is the kind of thing that you'd expect to find on an incel board on some godforsaken corner of the internet and yet here we are.
Matt briefly talks about Fruit Stripe Gum being discontinued. I feel like this is a story that literally only Matt Walsh cares about. Like, I'm picturing Ben Shapiro telling him to cover the usual transphobic bullshit and also tackle football being banned and Matt tells him "Yeah, but only if you let me lament a gum brand being discontinued". Matt then starts responding to negative comments that are cherrypicked examples of poor counterarguments.
46:25, Matt Walsh: "I am fine with anyone trying to go to flight school, ok? My problem -- you know, anyone at all. My problem is when efforts are made to increase the proportion of a certain population in the cockpit because in order to do that you are going to have to lower the standards."
Lets think about this critically for one second. So Matt is saying that he has no problem with minorities being pilots but he feels like if we increase the number of minorities being pilots we'd "be lowering the standards". So I guess minorities can't meet these standards on their own merits if what Matt is saying is true, after all back when we had "one standard" most (if not all) pilots were white. So when you analyze the argument that Matt is making, it's clear he does in fact have a problem with minorities being pilots since in his world they naturally don't meet these standards without the help of DEI. So really this argument is just poorly coded racism.
Alaska Airlines aside, which in my opinion was an example of Boeing cutting corners and endangering their customers as opposed to DEI (it makes zero sense to credit what happened to DEI by the way), air fatalities have been decreasing over the years as seen here.

Now, there was an uptick in 2018 but if, as the linked article points out, you look at a longer time frame the overall trend has been going downwards. This is impressive as the overall amount of people flying has been going upwards. Plus this is a worldwide chart so it doesn't just include American commercial airliners. Private jets and military transport planes are also included.
Anyway, let's hear Matt's arguments out. Surely he has some hard proof that there is a separate standard for minorities that is easier and not just "there's a separate standard because I say there's a separate standard"....right?
46:50, Matt Walsh: "And how do we know that? Well it's because before they started with these efforts there was one standard and they said 'Here's how you become a pilot, here's what you need to do' and it just so happened that with those standards it was mostly white men who became pilots. Stands to reason that if you just continue along like you were before, you're gonna end up with mostly white men."
So the only group that can consistently meet the standards of being a pilot is white men, there's not really an argument you can make for that that doesn't loop back around to minorities and females having less intelligence and natural skill than white men which is probably why Matt doesn't linger on it for too long.
The fact of the matter is that every pilot goes through the same training. It's not like women and minorities go through a separate line of training from white men that's easier, that would be completely ridiculous. Luckily that's not happening.
47:19, Matt Walsh: "So if you decide that -- that there's anything else other than skill and competence that's a priority now and that you wanna increase the proportion of certain demographics, it means you're gonna start messing with the standards."
The thing is that people who are pilots don't immediately start off as pilots, there's a thing called "flight school" that they go to where they learn that skill and competence and if they are no good they don't graduate.
Now, me saying that this argument is that people are being let into flight school without having the skill and competence is a generous way to look at it because Matt probably means that minorities are inherently worse pilots. Why? Because Matt says so. Again, zero evidence to back up his claim.
49:20, Matt Walsh: "Are people really confused by this? Like, all of the many thousands of words that I have said on this topic and that is how you interpret it (he's responding to a comment accusing him of thinking that minorities can't fly planes)? Like are you actually confused? Are you actually this stupid? Or are you pretending?"
Matt Walsh getting pissed off at someone for interpreting his words in the only logical way to interpret them.
By the way, I love how this segment is called "Was Walsh Wrong?" because I don't think the answer has ever been yes. If someone finds a clip of this loudmouth narcissist admitting he is wrong because of a YouTube comment I would love to see it. Until then I'm just gonna assume that all these segments end with Matt saying he's right.
Anyway, here it is. Matt Walsh's extremely stupid Valentines Day take that everyone was talking about on Twitter. This is in response to a commentor saying that the reason a lot of Stanley Cups are pink (I guess he complained about that on another show, Matt throwing a tantrum over the color of a mug being "too feminine" seems in character) is because Valentines Day is coming up and some men might want to buy them as gifts for their partners.
49:59, Matt Walsh: "You think that guys are buying Valentines Day gifts in January? You think that any guy in the world is saying to himself on like January 3rd 'Oh that looks like a lovely gift for my wife for Valentines Day, I think I'll buy that now'? Literally no man has ever said that."
"Yeah, no mans ever put thought into a gift for their wife before."
This is just Matt Walsh admitting he's a terrible husband live on air. Putting thought into a gift for your wife is a lovely thing to do. This is just more proof that Matt's definition of masculinity is being an asshole.
51:10, Matt Walsh: "But of course, 97% of us are buying a Valentines Day gift on the way home from work on February 14th."
Just because you don't put thought into gifts doesn't mean that every man doesn't.
51:18, Matt Walsh: "But buying a Valentines Day gift for your wife a month early is the gayest thing you could do. Don't do that because if it's January 3rd and you tell your wife 'I got you a Valentines Day gift already' she's gonna say 'So you're gay?' Well that kinda ruins Valentines Day doesn't it?"
There it is, the stupid take that blew up Twitter last week Thursday. Straight is gay, up is down, the sky is green and the grass is blue. I love how Matt seems to think that it's gay to love your wife, it's so stupid. But don't worry, if you put off buying a gift for your wife on the way home from work on Valentines Day you can remain straight!
Naturally Matt went on Twitter, presumably realizing how dumb saying that a cis male buying a gift for his wife is gay makes him sound, to say he was joking when this started gaining traction. As someone who has watched the entire episode and knows the whole context for this, he delivered this in the exact same smug voice he delivers his allegedly "serious" points in. He was not joking, he just realized how much of an absolute goon he is and decided to backtrack without admitting that he was wrong.
I guess Walsh doesn't admit when he's wrong after all. I guess the only example I can think of was the time he tweeted that he apparently thought he had a natural immunity to poison ivy and then strolled through a patch and found out the hard way that he isn't...by the way he thinks ignorant people should be banned from voting.
Ad pivot and now we are talking about "Hollywood representation".
52:56, Matt Walsh: "If you've watched anything that Hollywood has produced at any point over the past decade and a half or so, you have no doubt noticed that movies and television shows are extremely diverse these days and I mean that in the way that everybody means it when they use the term, I mean that movies and television shows are a lot less white."
No they aren't, a vast majority of movies and shows that I am seeing still have white leads. Take The Last Of Us for example, a recent extremely popular show, the lead actors are white. Not that the skin color of a starring actor should matter and Matt's fixation on it raises up so many red flags.
What Matt means when he says that TV shows and movies are "a lot less white" is that TV shows and movies have more people of color and females and that angers him because of his racism.
"How dare the fictional world that I consume have people of color in it, this is white erasure." God, Matt is even more of a goon than usual in this episode.
53:32, Matt Walsh: "If a white male historical figure appears in a movie, he's usually changed to black."
Is Matt bothered by the fact that most of these foreign historical figures are speaking English instead of the native language that they would have spoken throughout history? If not, this argument is stupid because movies are venues of entertainment and aren't meant to be 100% historically accurate documentaries.
Also, here's a list of times Hollywood cast a white person in the role of someone who was historically a different race. So really Hollywood has been doing the opposite for years whereas I can't think of an example of what Matt is saying is happening actually occurring.
53:37, Matt Walsh: "But they can't take us out completely. I mean, after all plenty of scripts still have characters that are villainous racists or alcoholic domestic abusers and they at least want to cast us for that."
There are so many new movies with white males in heroic starring roles. Again, Matt's problem with diversity in movies stems from the fact that he's a racist child who can't handle seeing POC's or females in the media that he willingly consumes.
This is also such a complete non-issue. Who gives a crap if movies are casting black people in roles that are historically white or whatever? They're just movies!
Anyway, the story that Matt is trying to cover here (emphasis on trying) is about an open letter to the Film Academy about the exclusion of Jewish people from their new diversity standards. Yes, I think Jewish people should be included in the diversity standards. It doesn't hurt anybody and every group should have representation.
Anyway, Matt isn't happy about this letter because again, he's a child who is pissed that white men aren't getting every single role imaginable in Hollywood.
55:19, Matt Walsh: "Yes, by not specifically including Jewish people on a list of the most special groups of humans humans they are 'erasing Jewish people'. But of course, the same doesn't apply to white people and for their purposes."
I don't' understand what Matt's problem here is (well, I do, see above, but I don't understand it from the standpoint of the argument he's trying to make) because the overall bedrock point that "white people are being erased from movies" is fundamentally flawed.
56:02, Matt Walsh: "It must be stated for the millionth time that representation in and of itself does not matter."
There are a wide variety of reasons why cinematic representation does matter.
For instance, seeing yourself represented in media as a minority can be helpful to show those people, especially youths, that they have a seat at societies table too and that roles in movies aren't just reserved for white males.
Plus from a critical standpoint it leads to better storytelling. Simply representing one group leads to linear and bland films whereas representing stories from multiple groups leads to interesting stories that might not have been told otherwise. Parasite and Get Out are prime examples of this.
Really, this entire argument is Matt Walsh arguing why movies should only star white males. Only he's too much of a coward to admit that what I just stated is his position so he's splitting hairs about the definition of representation despite the fact that all his arguments can only lead back to the conclusion that movies should only star white males.
56:55, Matt Walsh: "So somewhere along the line we got this idea that wherever you go and whatever you happen to be doing, you should always see people who look like you and share all of your demographic details. We got the idea that you somehow have the right to be reflected by the world around you -- you need to have yourself reflected back to you by the world."
Classic strawman argument. Nobody is saying that the entire world should bend over backwards so that every single group on the planet should be represented by every single aspect of life, we are simply asking for more representation of minorities in media, a thing that harms absolutely nobody.
This is also hilariously ironic because Matt himself is basically saying here that he wants to see HIS demographic reflected back to him by the world and not just in any way either, a purely positive way.
"Yeah, I think minorities want to see themselves reflected back to them by the world and that's bad...that's why my demographic of white males should be reflected back to me by the world constantly."
57:23, Matt Walsh: "The only time a lack of representation is really a problem is when that absence has been intentionally engineered by the exclusion of certain groups on the basis of their race, gender, or whatever and in the name of representation that's exactly what they're doing to white males."
I feel like Matt Walsh lives in a parallel universe. Like, how on Earth can you look at the movies being released today and your first thought is "Man, white males are really being excluded"?
I looked at what my local cinema is playing and the list is pretty white. Wonka stars a white male, All of us Strangers stars two white males (although Matt probably wouldn't count that because it depicts a gay romance and he's a raging homophobe), Anyone But You stars a white male, The Iron Claw stars a white male, Napoleon stars a white male. I don't know if America is getting all these films that star racial minorities and we in Canada are getting all the films starring white males but from where I'm standing white males get plenty of representation. And again, who cares if there are a lot of movies starring minorities? I thought Matt didn't care about representation.
Also, exclusionary practices are very well documented in Hollywood. I'd say that going out of your way not to cast actors who are minorities is exactly what Matt is talking about here.
57:44, Matt Walsh: "As far as representation goes, we must note that Jewish people are definitely represented in Hollywood. I don't know exactly how many Jews are involved in film productions but I do know that it's certainly more than 2.4%."
A): They are talking about on-screen representation. When Matt says "involved in film productions" he is lumping in producers, directors, etc. That's not what they were talking about in the letter.
B): "I don't know but it feels correct" isn't a valid way to back up a claim you are making. But like I said before, that's what the reasoning behind most of Matt's arguments come from. For a guy who claims to be such an enlightened conservative who only backs up his claims using FAcTs AnD LoGiC, Matt seems to go off his feelings a lot.
58:20, Matt Walsh: "Now the same is true about black people, blacks are 13% of the population. They're also 13% of working actors."
Working actors is an extremely broad category. That category includes actors who are only seen in the background of one shot for five seconds of the movie and actors who only get minor roles in third-rate direct to DVD B-movies that don't make it to cinemas or streaming.
Here's a chart of the distribution of leading roles among minorities compared to white people. As you can see, white people still have the majority of leading roles in Hollywood. Intentional exclusion? Clearly not. But Matt isn't working off the data like he's pretending to here, he's working off his feelings.
Tumblr media
Source: Statista.
As for women, it's certainly a lot closer but the majority of lead actors are still males. By using these metrics it's clear that white males still have the majority of leading roles in Hollywood movies.
Tumblr media
Source: Statista.
58:27, Matt Walsh: "LGBT people are, by last count, 7% of the population. Again, it's hard to say exactly how many gays are in Hollywood but it is definitely within a shadow of a doubt more than 7%. A lot more."
This one makes even less sense than the argument about minorities since a lot of LGBTQ+ people in Hollywood could still be in the closet, which Matt hinted at when he said "It's hard to say". For there to be proper representation of LGBTQ+ people in Hollywood, even by Matt's own argument, they would have to be out and their role would have to reflect that.
You just know Matt would throw a shit fit if we got a major Hollywood movie starring someone who is transgender.
59:01, Matt Walsh: "If representation means anything, this is what it means, or should mean. So, even if I agree that every group should be represented everywhere, all that would mean is that the groups distribution in any given industry reflects it's general population density."
No, it means that minority groups should get fair and equal representation to white males. Matt is completely misrepresenting what representation in film means.
Also, if Matt brings up his racist and conspiratorial "white people are trending towards extinction" BS again this year you can be that I'm bringing up the fact that he just admitted that white males still make up most of the US population.
1:01:13, Matt Walsh: "Like, it's funny. You never hear anybody complaining about the fact that a majority of garbagemen are white and also almost all of them are male. Almost none of them are LGBT. You never hear anyone calling for greater black or female or gay representation among roofers or plumbers or janitors or the guys who come and empty out port-a-potties."
That isn't even what people mean when they call for representation in Hollywood. It's about people who are minorities seeing themselves on screen and shown in a very public industry that has a history of excluding minorities. That's radically different than the skilled trades.
Conclusion:
So, what have we learned today? Well, the last episode where I covered Matt Walsh pissed me off and I wasn't subtle about it in my writing. Today's also bugged me but I feel like I was looking more for how Matt constructs his arguments today than I was last time.
Matt Walsh never addresses the core points of what he is talking about and regularly lies by omission, leaving key details out of the stories he talks about in order to make his opinion seem more reasonable. Most of his arguments aren't backed up by actual facts and when they are the facts are flimsy at best. His entire thing is that he hates stuff and is overly performatively masculine (which if he ever makes one of his incel tier episodes might be something I dedicate an episode to in the future), I don't think he could function without hating stuff.
Most of his arguments are only tangentially related to the story he is talking about. Take the tackle football story for instance; instead of addressing the core issue at hand which is that data shows that tackle football leads to greater risk of head injuries, Matt spent most of the segment griping about how society has became "too feminized" and made absolutely ridiculous arguments like how tackle football is somehow the only sport where minorities can experience male role models in the form of their coaches. I'm starting to think that this Matt Walsh guy isn't as smart as conservatives say he is.
Anyway, that was painful. Cheers and I'll see you in the next one.

❛ WELCOME HOME ❜
with Michael ‘Riz’ Ariza.
Request: Only requesting because I know he is your husband 😂 here we go, so reader has just given birth but it was a long labour and is just so exhausted and it’s the first night home with their daughter and Riz basically tells her to rest as he got it but she can’t settle so he puts a Disney film on and snuggles in bed with the reader with his daughter in his arms paying more attention to the tiny human than the film 🥰 just something really fluffy and I might have a bit of baby fever 🙈😂😂

Tumblr media
After discharging you, the whole crew is waiting in front of the main door. Bishop has decided to drive your car back to your house, while you and Riz are paying attention to your daughter on the back seat. Following you, three bikes before and four after, taking care of the road and escorting the car. And you can't believe that you're finally at home, after some weeks in the hospital. Everything is ordered and clean, and the dinner settled up on the table, although you're not hungry. You're too focused on your daughter against your chest, that you can't focus on anything else.
“Come with daddy, Lucía, while mami is having a bath”.
“Are you sure?” You ask a little worried, taking her off from your arms.
“Baby, everything is going to be okay”.
“Yeah, but, what if she cries?”
“I will sing to her, like I have been doing in the hospital, okay? Relax”.
You can't simply relax, leaving them in your daughter's room, to have a quick shower and put on one of Riz's shirts. Sitting some minutes on the edge of your bed, feeling guilty for not being with your daughter, you take a deep breath before looking for them. Your husband is almost dancing all over the run, singing her an spanish song in a low tone, so bewitched by Lucía that he hasn't noticed you yet. Until he turns and you scare him, making you laugh. Stretching your arms towards him, Riz shakes his head.
“You have to take dinner”. He says raising both eyebrows, passing you away like a child would do.
“C'mon, idiot! Give me my baby”. You frown pretending to be offended.
“No”.
“I will take dinner, but with her”.
“No”.
“Riz, I can't do anything without her being close. It's called maternal instinct”.
“It's called paranoia”.
“I'm gonna fuck you up”. You whisper wrinkling your nose.
“Okay, what about this? We have dinner at bed, with Lucía between both, watching a movie? A Disney movie”.
“See? That's the man I married to, not the childish one…”
“Actually, mi reina, that plan isn't very mature, but however”.
Tumblr media
After picking up dinner things, you get somewhat comfy on the bed with Lucia over your chest, snuggled and peacefully sleeping. Riz lies down by your side, leaning to kiss your forehead, and his daughter's head before taking her onto his arms. Cuddling against his body and surrounding his neck, you rest your cheek on his shoulder. You're tired, just like the last weeks after giving birth, and sleep with your husband is all you need. So putting the movie in the background, you close your eyes letting yourself go feeling one of Riz's hands caressing your hair gently.
When he's sure that you are already sleeping, he focuses his caresses and his attention on your tiny daughter over his bare chest, almost covering the cross tattooed on it. Your husband is proud of all the work you have done the last months, carrying his baby without complaining and with a big smile on your face the whole time. Also hearing the proud-hearted tone you used to use to speak whenever someone asked you about ‘the father’. Touring his left cheek with his fingertips, he can't help but fall more for her.
“You know, Lucía? I told your mami that I would never love anyone more than I loved her, but I think I lied, 'cause you're the love of my life”. He whispers with a honeyed voice, dearly hugging her and seeing how his daughter snuggles against him, grabbing the ringed finger.
Riz could have cried like a child, if you weren't sleeping, so tired of life right now. But that's, without any doubt, the best moment of his life. He is at home, with his two girls resting and clingged to him, with no one bothering your pace.
“I hope mami doesn' feel jealous”. He just chuckles, twisting his neck to leave a kiss on your head. “I love you too, mi amor”.

Can Introverts Be Certain?
I hear this question a whole lot. And also it's not difficult to identify why. So, CANISTER introverts be certain, after that? Allow's have a look. However, for the purpose, its crucial to define 'autist'. The Cambridge Dictionary * defines an introvert as "somebody who is timid, peaceful, as well as unable to make friends conveniently". Nonetheless, I consider this interpretation not just to be lacking in detail, but additionally to be incorrect. I discover this a lot more comprehensive summary from New Globe Encyclopedia ** even more exhaustive: " The autist is introspective and also discovers definition within, preferring their inner globe of thoughts, sensations, dreams, and fantasizes. [...] Therefore, one who is withdrawn is more probable to hang around alone or in contemplation, as these activities are rewarding. They might avoid social situations totally, not since they are reluctant or misanthropic, however because they select to. Introverts usually enjoy long, individually discussions about sensations or ideas, as well as might offer excellent public discussions to huge target markets. Nevertheless, they find privacy, alone with their thoughts, beneficial as well as corrective." That a person strikes the crowning achievement. Not just due to the fact that it's even more in-depth, but because it makes the crucial difference between introversion and shyness.
introvert vs extrovert definition As you may have collected, shyness is strongly associated with low self-confidence and self-esteem. And so, this is what makes numerous people perplexed. So in other words, while reluctant individuals often tend to be shy, not all introverted individuals are shy. And in yet various other words, just because you're shy does not mean you're non-fident. On the contrary, some of the globe's biggest achievers were introverts. And also I do not just suggest faceless, business suits concealing behind significant workdesks in tall glass buildings. We're chatting Barack Obama, Albert Einstein, Girl Gaga, Mark Zuckerberg, Bob Dylan, Marilyn Monroe, Abraham Lincoln, Beyoncé Knowles, Emma Watson, Christina Aguilera, Steven Spielberg, Warren Buffett, J.K. Rowling, Michael Jordan, Harrison Ford, and Marlon Brando below. The factor a lot of individuals ask this concern, it would seem, is that in our highly media-oriented society, autist actions and also the day-to-day behaviors of introverts isn't something we're exposed to in any way. Think of it. Autists maintain to themselves the majority of the time. So, do the autists' kicking back and also minding their very own company get sought by the media? Does it produce great information and also enjoyment? NO, duh. What does make for wonderful news as well as home entertainment are the external directed activities and also productions of, well, exhibitionists, mainly. And also actually, can you also condemn any media electrical outlets for not doing a reality-style docu-soap concerning 10 introverts in a home not speaking with each other? I indicate, I would not wish to enjoy myself silently operating at my laptop as well as occasionally consuming for 7-8 hrs each day.
hobbies of introverts And indeed, I simply utilized myself as an example. Since I'm mostly autist. And also yes, I still mostly select to hang around alone. Yet I've discovered to love speaking as well as executing before crowds, as well as join individuals at events. Hell, I have actually even discovered to accept the social Leading Ramen that is small-talk. So, right from the steed's mouth: It's not the introversion itself that maintains anyone from doing anything. It's just the lack of confidence. They're two various things. Just because introverts maintain to themselves does not imply they can not do any of things that characters do. On the other hand, if you're an introvert, you can be one of the globe's wealthiest service individuals. You might be the globe's most gifted as well as effective basketball player. Founder of the globe's greatest social media. One of the world's most popular and biggest-selling writers, musicians as well as flick directors. As well as did any individual state head of state of the USA? The appropriate concern, after that, is not can autists be certain?. Rather, it's can introverts be confident in a culture that values character actions?.

Like...why?
I can get if Beyoncé is not your “ thing” but the reasons some of y ‘all list for not liking her are just… just say you have no reason for not liking her and go. From saying she can’t sing, she doesn’t do “enough” for her people (or any people) to calling her overrated is so…show me on the doll where Beyoncé hurt you, boo. 
Fine. If your personal opinion is that she can’t sing then you can have that. To everyone else, she surely can and shows it off the more she grows as an artist. Like…clear examples exist of her singing be more than just one dimensional. For example:
youtube
Or This! ( Also note the BLACK members of her ALL FEMALE BAND. Also note that she is doing charity work by performing for sick children at a children’s hospital. I will get to the criticism that she does not do any in a minute.)
youtube
I could list many more but acapella singing kinda shows that she can sing but go on ahead and keep up the narrative that she “can’t sing.”
Next up is the idea that she does not do “enough” for her people. Oh boy…am I gonna have fun debunking this one! First off, a lot of what she does do is not publicized as with many celebrities. She only came out and listed some of her charitable contributions after Harry Belafonte accused her of not “doing enough” in an interview he did back in 2012. So…on to the contributions (which she released to a little underground and fledgling newspaper called “The Wall Street Journal.”) !!!
“An abbreviated list of the unselfish work Beyoncé has done and continues to do.” The list included co-founding The Survivor Foundation “a multi-purpose community outreach facility in downtown Houston”; donating “100K in 2008 to the Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund to aid Texas victims of Hurricane Ike”; performing in “MTV’s Hope For Haiti Now! Benefit in addition to making a generous monetary donation,” among many other charitable activities.”
If you pay close attention to the locations she donated too, you may notice a high case of melanin. Why? Because she donated to black people. Gave back to black people. Way before BLM was even a thought, she was doing her part to help her people. For example, The Survivor House, started in TWO THOUSAND AND FIVE, was made for the sole purpose of helping survivors of Hurricane Katrina in Houston,Texas region. The foundation also built a set of apartments for Hurricane Katrina survivors in Houston. 
“ The project is a 43 unit, single room occupancy supportive housing facility for at-risk populations designed to provide permanent living accommodations for women and men who are taking significant steps in improving their lives after the traumatic effects of personal and natural disasters. The apartments will provide “a safe place to live” for all residents.”
Per the latest article I could find, which is from 2014 (updated in 2016), she has donated SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS OF HER OWN MONEY TO THE APARTMENT COMPLEX.
Oh, we are not done yet!!! Essence Magazine did an article on other charitable contributions she has made. (Jay-Z is included as well but I will highlight Beyoncé’s work) 
Beyonce’s Trip to Haiti (it happened in 2015)
“Last week, Beyonce ventured to the poverty-stricken nation of Haiti, where she surveyed the damage and destruction that still plagues the country five years after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit. Bey alongside Valeria Amos, the United Nations’ humanitarian affairs chairwoman, met residents who were still recovering and was able to see firsthand all of the work that still needs to be done.” 
Beyonce’s BeyGood Foundation
“Touching everything from the unemployed to the sick, Bey’s BeyGood foundation aims to make the world a more beautiful place. Her new initiative is currently raising money for the thousands in Nepal who were affected by the recent 7.8 magnitude earthquake. The superstar raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight for gender equality worldwide, given school supplies to students across the nation and hosted food drives in Houston (and she shows no sign of stopping!).”
Beyonce’s Partnership with Goodwill
“In 2013, Beyonce partnered with Goodwill to tackle the unemployment crisis. “Goodwill helps people get back to work by providing education, job training and placement,” Beyonce said in a statement. “I wanted to team up with an organization that puts people first and works every day to help them improve and re-establish their lives,” Beyonce said. She encouraged her devoted Beyhive to donate clothes and electronics that would help disadvantaged people search for jobs.”
Beyonce’s Phoenix House
“While prepping for her role in Cadillac Records, the 2009 biopic detailing Etta James’ tumultuous life, Beyonce was introduced to Phoenix House, a rehabilitation center for recovering drug addicts. Bey became so enthralled with the organization that she donated her $4 million salary from the film to foundation, and went on to open an affiliated cosmetology school, which offers Phoenix House residents a seven-month training program to learn real-world skills.” 
Oh yeah...almost forgot about the Beyoncé Cosmetology Center she opened up, in partnership with her mother, Tina Knowles, in Brooklyn, NY that helps recovering drug addicts get back on their feet. 
STILL NOT DONE!!!
 “CHIME FOR CHANGE, founded by Gucci, is a global campaign to convene, unite and strengthen the voices speaking out for girls and women around the world, with a focus on using innovative approaches to raise funds and awareness for Education, Health and Justice projects. Through the power of crowdfunding, CHIME FOR CHANGE has funded more than 400 projects in 86 countries through 144 non-profit partners reaching hundreds of thousands of girls and women around the world. CHIME FOR CHANGE co-Founders Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Salma Hayek Pinault continue to lead the campaign with its coalition of partner organizations.” ( I am aware Selma is hella annoying after her “all lives” mattering Jessica Williams a couple weeks back but again, this is about Bey.)
She also raised money ($82,000) for The Flint Water Crisis
And this whole ass list of organizations as well.
Last, and certainly no least, is the $1.5 million dollars Tidal will be donating to Black Lives Matter and other social justice groups. 
So like…Beyonce clearly cares…a lot. She also gives…a lot. She shows up and out and she does not have to. She could just perform and collect her check like some other artists do but she realizes that she can do more. And she does. Often.
But back to this idea that does not do enough for her people. Her mere existence as a black successful woman does enough for her people. Yes, I am aware that colorism plays a role in her success but she has never touted her skin color as something “special.”  She just exists as a proud black woman. She fully embraced and yelled that from the rooftops with the majestic and glorious gem that is “Lemonade.” That album celebrated black women, black love, black struggle, black strife, black life.(Lest we neglect to remember her having the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant, Mike Brown and Eric Garner not only in her video but bringing them to the VMA’s with her in 2016.)   She absolutely did not have to do that album. She could have given us another “Beyoncé”(which was a celebration of her embracing feminism) album and her fans would have been just as satisfied but no…she gifted us with “Lemonade.” I know other artist have done unapologetically black albums and I’m sure those were great albums. But, we are on Beyoncé and her album right now. It means something to have a global artist such as herself remind people that she is, in fact, black as fuck. Southern black. Black with a side of mo’ black. A black woman living a black life with her black husband and black baby(soon to be babies!!!)  Also…lil’ side note: (the, now deleted, tweets from dreamhampton that talks about both Jay-Z and Beyonce donating money to help bail out Ferguson protesters.)
Now, oh now…on to the very idea that Beyoncé is “overrated.” 
“overrated
adjective US
/ˌoʊ·vərˈreɪ·t̬ɪd/
(of something) considered to be better than it really is:
After seeing the award-winning movie, we decided it was overrated.”
 How? HOW??? So help me God…I will never get this one. She gives consistent albums every time she comes out. She tours. She sings. She sings and dances at the same time. Like…I don’t even know how to properly address this baseless lie with sounding like I have a “BEY STAN 4 LIFE” tattooed on my forehead. But like…her albums go gold or better. Her albums always seem to be relevant to the times and also seek to do more than simply “provide music.” Her music provides a soundtrack to life. To her life mostly but we can glean life lessons from it. From the the grossness of male entitlement to a woman’s body with “Yes” (go listen to it again, my fellow Bey lovers and bask in the early peaking of her feminism.) She gives us visuals along with her music!! Like, visuals that propel the already great music to another level. Over the top or subtle and subdued theatrics. All while look gorgeous as hell ( Side note: I saw a man say she look “regular.” I took one look at his picture and knew Jesus still had work to do on me because the words “shit explosion of a face” crossed my mind.”)  What is overrated about any of that???
Listen. Beyoncé is not above reproach. No one is but…the reasons people list for disliking her are so common when you have literally no reason to dislike a person. She can sing. She contributes her time and money to charitable endeavors. She is not overrated because…she just isn’t. She gives us a complete show. A complete package. Michael Jackson did the same thing and no one calls him “overrated.” Prince did too. Yet…somehow we are here…with me writing this dissertation because this wave of dislike keeps trying to wash ashore and no…just no. 
P.S. Let us remember that just yesterday,a white artist, Adele, stood herself on stage and praised Beyoncé for being. Simply being who she is. Acknowledging Beyoncé as an artist she loves, respects and realizes that Bey deserved to win album of the year. 
youtube
Then… she continued to praise Beyoncé even after the show…
youtube
It’s twelve minutes and she mentions Bey any chance she gets and I love it.

I think there should be one more after Valentine’s Day just called, ‘Who could love you?’ – Laura Kightlinger • It was February sixth: eight days until Valentine’s Day.

And this year scares the life out of me, because no matter how successful, how good things appear, there is always a deep core of failure within me, although I am trying to deal with it. My biggest fear, this coming year, is that I will be waking up alone. It makes me wonder how many bodies will be fished out of the Thames, how many decaying corpses will be found in one-room flats.

Unless, of course, those tests come back positive. – Jay Leno • New Year’s Eve. It’s a promise of a night.

Though he wasn’t the first friend I’ve lost to suicide, I sure hope he’s the last. I wish I had the chance to go back and tell them what they meant to me. I wish I had the chance to beg them to seek help, to keep fighting. I wish they knew that they were surrounded by countless others who struggle on a daily basis. – Jared Padalecki • One of the many reasons I love living in New York is that we get a front row seat to the innumerable thrills that take place here – from conventions and awards shows, to parades and U.N. assemblies. But my favorite New York tradition is the annual New Year’s Eve ball-drop on Times Square. – Marlo Thomas • One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: ‘To rise above little things’. – John Burroughs • Only sad sacks and conformists need things like no kiss on New Year’s Eve to remind them to feel lonely. They’re as bad as the people who need St. Patty’s Day as an excuse to get drunk or Halloween to wear slutty outfits. You can feel sorry for yourself and dress like a hooker all year round: Hallmark never needs to know. – Julie Klausner • Ring out the false, ring in the true. – Alfred Lord Tennyson • Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. – Alfred Lord Tennyson • Shaving my head was a millennium ritual, to not let it pass as just another New Year’s Eve.

Stay home on New Year’s Eve if that’s what makes you happy. Skip the committee meeting. Cross the street to avoid making aimless chitchat with random acquaintances. Read. Cook. Run. Write a story. Make a deal with yourself that you’ll attend a set number of social events in exchange for not feeling guilty when you beg off. – Susan Cain • St. Patrick’s Day is the fourth biggest drinking day in America. It’s not the biggest. It’s right behind New Year’s Eve, Fourth of July, or any Secret Service party. – David Letterman • The feeling I have reminds me of New Year’s Eve, when the countdown is coming and I’m not quite sure whether to grab my camera or just live in the moment. Usually I grab the camera and later regret it when the picture doesn’t turn out. Then I feel enormously let down and think to myself that the night would have been more fun if it didn’t mean quite so much, if I weren’t forced to analyze where I’ve been and where I’m going. – Emily Giffin • The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. – Eleanor Roosevelt • The last thing I stole was a box of Coca Cola from a parked truck in Adelaide.

Chesterton • The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective. – Gilbert K. Chesterton • The only way to spend New Year’s Eve is either quietly with friends or in a brothel. Otherwise when the evening ends and people pair off, someone is bound to be left in tears. – W. H. Auden • The proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates on New Year’s Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you’re married to. – P. J. O’Rourke • This leg will be known as Christmas, and this leg will be known as New Year’s Eve! Ladies…why don’t you all come visit the Big Valbowski between the holidays. – Val Venis • Time is the school in which we learn, time is the fire in which we burn. – Delmore Schwartz • To me, doing a gay pride show is one of the most fun things. My first show that paid more than $10,000 was in a gay club on New Year’s Eve in San Francisco. – Queen Latifah • To shut the door at the end of the workday, which does not spill over into evening. To throw away books after reading them so theydon’t have to be dusted. To go through boxes on New Year’s Eve and throw out half of what is inside. Sometimes for extravagance to pick a bunch of flowers for the one table. Other women besides me must have this daydream about a carefree life. – Maxine Hong Kingston • To this day, on my cheat days from my diet, which are New Year’s Eve and my birthday, I buy luxury foods that are very indicative of my class. – Sandra Cisneros • Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one. – Brad Paisley • Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. – H. Jackson Brown, Jr. • We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives…not looking for flaws, but for potential. – Ellen Goodman • We’ve made mistakes, But we’ve made good friends too. Remember all the nights we spent with them? And all our plans, Who says they can’t come true? Tonight’s another chance to start again. It’s just another New Year’s Eve, Another night like all the rest. – Barry Manilow • What you do for Jewish New Year is you go down to Times Square. It’s a lot quieter than the regular New Year. It’s just a few Jews walking around going, “sup?” – Jon Stewart • When I go, I’ll take New Year’s Eve with me. – Guy Lombardo • When I played the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve, I got to bring Wiley, my 85-pound black lab. He’s responsible for my favorite New Year’s memory of all: At the end of the show, he ran onstage and then out across all the tables in the showroom, sending champagne glasses and gamblers flying. – Elayne Boosler • When I stopped wanting my New Year’s Eve to be perfect, to bring in the New Year right, is when it started working out right.

For men, we just call that a date. – Jay Leno • Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. – Oprah Winfrey • You staying home all alone on New Year’s Eve? Unthinkable.

“I can't sleep”.
You're pouting to the screen of your phone, with Riz in it chuckling. It's been six days since he left Santo Padre for a Cartel shipment. The first time you're separate for so long. Four in the morning and you are still rolling in your boyfriend's bed.
“I can't sleep either, without you here”. He snorts, rubbing his face with a hand, before supporting his phone on the nightstand, so he can lie down on the motel's bed.
“I miss you… When are you coming back?” You almost sob, imitating his moves to get somewhat comfy.
“I don' know, mi niña, maybe in two days… Maybe three”.
“That's a lot of time…”
“I'll make it up to you, I promise”.
“I just wanna hug you. That's enough for me”.
“Bad day at work?” He asks seeing how tired you look, wishing he could be by your side right now to comfort you and make you feel better.
“Yeah…”
“Are you wearing one of my shirts?”
You simply nod some times.
“It helps a little when I need you”.
“I got this to feel you closer”. He shows you a fine gold chain, supporting part of it on his forefinger. Wrinkling your nose, you place a hand on your neck looking for your collar, breaking into laughs when you notice it's not there even if you're watching him having it.
“Damn thief…”
“Says who stole my whole wardrobe. Fuck, baby! You're going to ruin me, having to buy so many shirts and jackets”.
“And I'm not even sorry…”
“Yeah, I'll make you pay for that…”
“Sounds good. I really miss you”.
“And I really love you, mi reina”.
BONUS:
You're cleaning the dishes after having lunch, when you hear the door getting opened. For a moment, your pulse accelerates, closing the kitchen faucet and drying your hands in your shirt. Poking your head through the frame of the door, you find Riz leaving his black bag over the sofa, before holding you on air when you jump into him screaming full of happiness.
“Look at you, mi vida, mi amor, mi reina… You have that shine in your eyes that makes my heart races”.
“And it's only because of you”.
You don't know when you started crying, kissing his face all around while he walked to your shared bed to lie down there. Michael holds you tightly under his arms, looking for your lips so desperate he's about to falter if he doesn't taste it soon.
“Mi amor, te he echado tanto de menos…” (My love, I've missed you too much).
“I did it too, Rizzy… But you're finally back”.
“Back at our home, mi vida”.

My Roots as a Composer | necessity and education
A couple of years ago, a young guitarist from Vanguard University wrote to say that he is a fan. He was preparing a presentation on me as a living composer/guitarist, and asked if I would help with some background info. Here’s the result.
Hello, My name is Javier Castillo. I performed in a Masterclass where Mr. Wallace was the speaker back in Fall 2011 at Cerritos College in Norwalk, California (I performed one of his pieces, “Sand And Sky” for him that day). I’m currently going to Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, California and in my Guitar Literature class I chose Frank Wallace for my research report on 20th Century/Modern classical guitar players. I was wondering if I can possibly get some information on Mr. Wallace? Information on his early career would be great, especially some background as a composer. Who and where did he study composition? Who were his influences? .
I’m a very big fan of Mr. Wallace’s music and I figure since I’m one of the few people in my class who is presenting/researching on a composer/guitarist who is thankfully still alive, I can try and reach out to him.
Thank you for your time, and Happy Thanksgiving!
Starting easy
http://www.frankwallace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/04-Etude-7.mp3
In brief – I started composing out of two events: 1) desperation to get a particularly difficult college student to actually learn something; 2) subsequently, turning to teach children. Both inspired me to write short studies to teach what I wanted to teach. For example, my Single String Studies are quite unique as far as I know. They combine my interest in singing with the concept of a medieval drone (as accompaniment to melody) and my desire as a teacher of guitar to have simple material that presents upper positions and shifting at an earlier stage of development in students.
Secondly, my wife loved these little pieces, as did I, so she challenged me to do a concert of them. I said, “that’s ridiculous, they are too simple for a professional concert.” But the seed was planted. One day a new little blues piece for a student suddenly took on life and developed into Sweet Ladyslipper, a 6 movement concert suite. Here’s the Prelude, as recorded on my first CD of my works.
http://www.frankwallace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/10-Prelude-Sweet-Ladyslipper.mp3
Two composer lessons
After a few years, I had my first actual composition lesson with Dick Winslow, a neighbor and retired professor of music from Wesleyan (who happened to be David Leisner’s comp teacher in college). Dick took a look at some of my works then we sat down to talk. He asked, “What do you want to know?” I said I was self-conscious that I don’t really hear music in my head, not precisely and clearly. His response astonished me, “So what? Do you like the music you write? It doesn’t matter what the process is as long as you like the result.” “Frankly, I love my music,” was my sure response.
A couple of years later I visited Herman Weiss, former head of the theory and composition department at Longy School in Cambridge MA who studied with Messiaen on a Fulbright. I asked, “Do you think I should get a Masters in composition?” Again the response surprised and delighted me, “That would be the worst thing you could do!”
Herman said I already have a distinctive voice as a composer and school would only force me into someone else’s style. So my style and skill came from my own resources and experience. I learned simply to trust myself as a composer. That’s the biggest accomplishment I have ever made, and somehow it came fairly naturally and painlessly to me.
In terms of influences: I frequently say Dowland, Schubert, Britten – they all wrote great solo music as well as songs. But I am firmly rooted in the guitar classics as well: Sor, Tárrega, Villa-Lobos, etc. They are the ones who taught me how to create sonority on the guitar, and that is extremely important to me.
The interview | Where did it all begin?
[Javier] Hello Frank, thank you for answering my letter and for helping me with my research report. Great responses! They certainly give great insight into your background as a composer and musical style. It’s always fascinating to read about the humble beginnings of creative people. As someone who occasionally composes his own musical ideas, it is definitely inspiring.
I have one big question, and this one is about you as a musician. Where did it all begin for you? How old were you when you decided to pursue classical guitar? Who were your instructors? And what interests you about the Lute and Vihuela De Mano? And also, since you’re also a composer, and I see that you’ve written pieces with violin and flute, did you happen to learn any other instruments to help give you a better understanding of them for when you compose?
[Frank] My family was not particularly musical. My mother and two older sisters played a little piano, my older brother trumpet. No one was great or very serious, but I grew up hearing them practice and I would sit down and bang the keys or spit into the trumpet. My father always got compliments for his voice in church, but refused to join the choir. He was very proud of his Harmon Kardon stereo system and listened to musicals fairly regularly – no classical music that I recall.
Apparently my grandfather played piano by ear, but I don’t remember it. The inspiration that got me going was the Lawrence Welk TV show that we watched when my grandparents visited from Texas. The accordion player on the Welk show, Myron Floren, really impressed me – how dorky is that!? The Beatles were hitting the scene and I wanted to take accordion lessons at age 10! We found a teacher and after a couple of years, he brought me an electric guitar, saying any musician should play at least two instruments. My cynical side thinks he just needed to make a few extra bucks that week. I began doing my own arrangements of Jobim songs and other jazz – got into Charlie Byrd as well as Wes Montgomery, etc., but no rock!
Classical guitar enters the scene
Somewhere in there my parents bought me a Romeros boxed set of flamenco music. Serendipity! That was followed with Bream, Parkening and Segovia. Then I found the Carcassi Method at a local store, along with a flamenco guitar, and started teaching myself. It wasn’t until I was a senior in high school that I found Ed Bishop, my first classical teacher. He was very enthusiastic about my potential and immediately got me playing stuff I shouldn’t have – Bach, Britten, Albéniz. I feel I never had a truly proper education – it was quite eclectic from the beginning. Now I am grateful for that, I think it feeds my creative spirit, and steered me away from being a typical player with typical repertoire.
http://www.frankwallace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/02-Una-sañosa-porfia-singelkerk2.wav
Una Sañosa Porfia by Juan del Encina, as recorded by Trio LiveOak on Star Shining on the Mountain, 1980, Mnemosyne Records, at the Groton Chapel in Groton MA
My interest in early music began in college by chance. The choir director was into it and one or two semesters we had a rep class with Robert Strizich who had us learn tablature. He also substituted for my busy teacher Michael Lorimer when Michael was on the road. Of course, Lorimer also played lute at the time and was heavily into Bach. That might have led nowhere if I hadn’t stumbled into the Quadrivium in Boston. This was a vibrant scene of instrumentalists and singers dedicated to Medieval and Renaissance music in the Boston area led by charismatic and brilliant teacher Marleen Montgomery. I moved to Boston after college just for the adventure and met these folks, including my wife to be, Nancy Knowles, within days.
It was an incredible scene that encouraged wide exploration of the repertoire, but we constantly arranged works to be adapted to the particular forces at hand [Una Sañosa Porfia as example]. I think this was one of the many factors that led to my compositional abilities, including, as you ask, how to write for different instruments. On that front, I’m not as well trained as I would like to be, but it’s pretty instinctual for me and I do consult with †he players I am writing fo® or do other research. I’d love to write a symphony, but that feels outside my realm of experience and training. I have played saxophone, piano, recorder, viola da gamba, chalumeau, vihuelas and lutes of many different sizes and a bunch of medieval and ethnic instruments – so I’m rather fearless. When I wrote a lot of mandolin music a few years ago, I borrowed an instrument and worked closely with German virtuoso Annika Hinsche and a few other players.
Please consider a donation to my GoFundMe. They are greatly appreciated and will make a huge difference in my healing process!
