I'm going to log out and take a break for a few months. I have little time available for WP right now, and I'm finding that the time I do have is increasingly frustrating and does not spark joy; I'm logging in out of habit, rather than because I want to. I won't write a screed about why, at least not now. Some of this is probably my fault; real-world stress bleeding into on-wiki stress. But it's also due to the way this project seems to be evolving, and the realization that I can't really try to do anything about it when I have so little time to contribute. I'll leave WP email on, but email notifications are going to be turned off. See you on the other side. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:39, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The story is today about the first published composition by Arnold Schönberg which I was blessed to hear. Listen, and perhaps read what Alma Mahler (to-be-Mahler at the time, to be precise, who was present at the first performance) said, and yes that was too much for the Main page ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:34, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Today's story is about a Bach cantata premiered 300 years ago OTD. - Did you notice that the July was taken the day when you counted the places I saw that one day? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:29, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
3 July is the birthday of Leoš Janáček, and I'm happy I had a meaningful DYK in 2021. It's also the birthday of Franz Kafka, and I uploaded pics from his family's album seen in Berlin. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:30, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Libuše Domanínská, the subject of yesterday's story, would have turned 100 today, but I missed that ;) - Overnight, Tamara Milashkina became GA and Lando Bartolini went to the Main page. I made my story about his almost unbelievable career, from Luigi in Il tabarro in Philadelphia in 1968 (with a nod to Liberty) up to Calaf in Turandot in Beijing in 1999 ;) - 4 July is also the birthday of Brian Boulton who was a pioneer of a concise infobox in 2013. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:11, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Circling back now that I've seen today's festival of fun-the GAR/teenage boy jokes, not the career edit warrior-and I hate that we have to clarify. Can @Bishzilla just eat the drama boards please? Nothing of value would be lost. Star Mississippi 23:51, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
