“Right now I’m an assistant at a recording studio, which basically means cleaning the bathrooms, doing prep work, and sharpening pencils. I just have to prove that I’ll go out of my way to get things done. Then each week I get a few hours of practice time when the studio is empty. Next I’ll become an assistant engineer, and I’ll actually get to sit in on the recording sessions. The ultimate goal is to become a producer. Audio is a bit of a boys’ club. There were only three girls in my program at college, and there’s only one other woman at my studio now. I’m not sure why more women don’t pursue it. It’s perfect for me. I’m not much of a performer but I love music. So working in audio allows me to help create music without having to get on stage. And there’s plenty of opportunity. Every Taylor Swift song has thirty or forty people behind it.”
tumblr is naturally dominated by american politics at the moment but this is a reminder for all eligible voters in the UK:
you need to register to vote by the end of May in order to be able to vote in the EU referendum which is taking place on June 23rd
there are a number of ways you can vote: if you are able, you can vote in person at a local polling station between 7am and 10pm on the day, but if you are not then you can apply for a postal vote (you need to register for a postal vote by June 8th) or vote by proxy (you can nominate someone else to vote on your behalf - you need to register for this by June 15th)
it’s also important to note that if you are a student, you can be registered in two separate places (although you will, of course, only have one vote)
the EU referendum is extremely important (here and here are some summaries) and so voting is absolutely vital
Also a very important reminder for Scottish voters that you need to register to vote by the 18th of April to be able to vote in the upcoming 2016 Scottish Parliament election on the 5th of May.
To do this, use the links provided above.

Ted Cruz’s Michigan Legislative Co-Chair Wants To Ban Homosexuality
"The people of Michigan... want someone who has a record of fighting for our values," Cruz said.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has made no bones about his opposition to marriage equality throughout his presidential campaign, but the newly announced legislative co-chair of his Michigan campaign takes things a step further.
Republican Michigan state Rep. Gary Glenn — one of nine Cruz legislative co-chairs in the Wolverine State — has said he believes being gay should be a crime.
