many of you have asked, and so i shall give: 

in 2007, my older brother gave me a small piece of information that would soon result in the shutdown of Club Penguin for a few days. he taught me a glitch in the club penguin system that, when sitting in the coffee shop, would make your penguin sit on the ceiling of the coffee shop instead. 

and with this piece of information, i took off. i spent hours going to every server over and over, saying the same message: everyone meet in the coffee shop tomorrow at 7 pm in the snowball server. i did this in every single server, in every location i could find.

then, finally, 7 pm the next day arrived. snowball had a population rating of 5. penguins poured into the coffee shop, all awaiting my instructions. i then gave the next message, that of the glitch. i told everyone to wait exactly 3 minutes, then perform the glitch. they did. every penguin in the coffee shop was suddenly on the ceiling, and either the club penguin coding or the club penguin offices had no idea what to do, and no way to take us down. for a small glimpse of time, we ruled victorious – nothing and no one could stop us. 

Political scientists say any protest movement that can rally more than 3% of the population into the streets can affect change.

Absolutely not!! My teacher does both piano and voice (her bachelors was in voice but her masters was in piano performance), so voice came for me much after piano. I had originally enrolled for piano back in Feb/March, but piano requires a lot of practice on my own time, so while I practice certain pieces I asked her to pivot into voice as well. I’m still studying piano and still sending her videos of my practice sessions and everything. The last couple lessons’ instruction have been in voice.

Tbh, it is challenging me a lot more than piano lol. Just very different! it worked me physically more than I thought, made me realize warmups prior to voice lessons are so important. I don’t think I have an intuitive ear for where notes fall, aside from analyzing how a certain note “feels” (my instructor told me I was thinking about it far more too scientifically lol; I’m really struggling to turn off my nuts and bolts stem propensities but I’m tryingggg). Rn the focus is on intuitive singing bc I’m sucking at that lol. Solfège is really helping.
