Tbh nothing about my handle suggests I like reedmaking! I am simply surrounded by them all the time

This has @fieldofreeds.bsky.social energy who despite her handle also dislikes reedmaking

I assume "conservative twink tank" is what they call the reedmaking room at Wheaton College
Very influential conservative twink tank

Er, think tank

Let me tell you how mad I was to have to pack for reedmaking for three weeks in the middle of nowhere, Germany, and having to schlep all that on a shuttle from ATL international terminal economy parking

bassoonists have all the fun reedmaking tools, it is not fair

So when I have reedmaking time, I watch youtube and I got to the end of the fitness reaction content that I like, and found a reaction channel where the host is British and snarky and reacts to (among other things) 90s HGTV which I consumed VORACIOUSLY back in the day

All 20 pieces done! Only chipped two, but that's because I got a little aggressive with them though not in such a way that destroyed them :3 very happy at the progress I'm making with reedmaking from scratch!

Perhaps my Christmas present to myself in 11 months will be a bonafide profiler :3c

but I would like to buy a house or at least rent something that has a lil yard for Lola

and I would like to rescue more chihuahuas

good lord why can't reedmaking scale, there's just a hard limit to how much of that one human can do

Today is a glorious day because I recreated it not once, not twice, but THREE times

I hope it's because I'm getting better at reedmaking and not because I got lucky and got a good batch of cane
I'm crying bruh I made the most perfect bassoon reed and I haven't been able to recreate it since

The only thing that gets me through reedmaking is spite

Though my reedmaking skills still need to level up some haha, it can be heard in the tongued high notes that hesitated throughout the piece ^^;

but overall, I'm very satisfied with where my bassoon playing abilities are at rn!

reedmaking pro tip: if your gouger isn't cutting into your cane, and your gouger is working fine...

your cane sucks and is probably grainy AF and not worth using, relax, try a different piece of cane

my one ray of hope: I just found "reedmaking" on France's list of "artisanal occupations" so now I'm going all-in on Pimsleur and also all-in on writing a business plan

maybe all-in on Pimsleur should wait until my novocaine wears off

There is reedmaking but it's a reed room vibe. We gossip about gigs, politics, health, neurodivergence, feelings, day jobs, all the things.

I have a reedmaking group that meets on Mondays at 3:00 Pacific on Instagram Live. If you are ever free at that time you should join and/or just watch!
