@pixelfed I think my account used to be there, but when I just checked, it was no longer there. Should the fedi22 tag remain in the bio? I had removed it. If I add it back now, do I have to register again or am I still registered?

Someone didn't give me my cue … if you catch my tenor.

@jens well …

@jens Ih, no worries, I accidentally posted before I was done writing, because I felt I should check the privacy setting, and while I was editing you had already replied!

It’s a pun, but also based on oh so many real life examples. Somehow it’s always the tenors messing things up. They are super rare and sought after, and because of that can get away with almost anything, and they know it.

@jens During college, the ratio is about 5 female singers to 1 male, the ratio gets worse over time, and the majority of male singers are baritones. Big voices (dramatic and spinto) mature decades after college, so by the time a tenor can sing the high profile lead roles, they get insane amounts of money, and on top of that get away with behaviour that would get any soprano fired on the spot.

@jens There was an article I was interviewed for several years ago about gender discrimination in opera, that touches on the subject of male to female ratio in the business:

This is horrible. Meta's artificial inteligence is removing Facebook posts from animal adoption organisations and deleting their pages. Ai is taking away a main medium for advertising animals for adoption.

@Gargron same! Singing to thousands: no problem. Talking to a camera: what’s my name again?

It’s a do nothing but rest for the rest of the day day.
