I don’t know how someone can not like the idea of star trek like it’s a vision of hope for the future of humanity of wonder and new worlds and adventure and love and all of the things we’ll never get to see in this lifetime like if you don’t like star trek you must be really into things like taxes and life insurance

Recommend Frederica von Stade for a Kennedy Center Honor

dotseurat:

Well, everyone, the form is up! If you missed my post yesterday, for the first time ever, the Kennedy Center is opening up nomination recommendations to the public.

“Under the revised process, the Kennedy Center will begin seeking recommendations from the public for the first time in the award’s 35-year history. Recommendations can be submitted online beginning Thursday. The center will also seek more recommendations from a committee of artists.”

I will be actively campaigning for Frederica von Stade’s recommendation not only because of her 40 years of contributions to the opera community through her iconic roles and brilliant singing but also for her fervent efforts encouraging arts education across the country. 

I hope you’ll join me.
