@MightyBigCar I see it at the grocery store all the time, stopping in a main aisle rather than stepping away to consult their phones. Then again, grocery stores are rife with all sorts of unpleasantness on the part of shoppers, so I can't really single out texters.
@craigmaloney Oh, right. And I've got his ECM Recordings box right across from me. The slowing-down-metronome made me think of Cage. I do like Henry Cow's first two albums very much, but they don't quite fit into modern classical. Then again, Henry Cow doesn't quite fit in anywhere.
@craigmaloney Are you talking about folks like Stockhausen and John Cage? Or more recent?
@switchingsocial Wow, this is great. Thanks for posting. I've bookmarked your link.
There are some really good public domain #eBooks out there, so I've done a simple little search page for finding them:
https://switching.social/public-domain-ebooks-search/
Give it a go if you're a fan of classic #literature or #historical #texts.
Feedback welcome.
You can see the list of sources on the search results page, let me know if there's a source you think should be added.
I've tried to focus on books, especially literature, rather than academic papers or general archives.
it’s okay to fail at things
it’s okay to not be good at things
it’s okay to not be good and never get better
it’s okay to continue to do things you’re not good at just because you want to
Please be kinder than kind when you interact with people in the Fediverse. You can read their words, but you have no idea of the emotional state behind those words. You might be dealing with an emotionally fragile person who is hoping to establish just a little contact with the world by posting a thought or replying to your post.
Lessons of the WalrusCam
1. Mass napping is conducive to social harmony.
2. The more blubber you have, the easier it is to be comfortable in a crowd, or on gravel.
3. It doesn't take that much effort to keep your tusks out of everyone else's face.
debbie harry & kermit the frog sing "rainbow connection" on the muppet show (1980)
@packbat My answer would be "not necessarily." Just like the collective noun "guys" can refer to all males, a mixed group of males and females, or even all females. But there is no question that the original meaning of both words referred exclusively to males.
@craigmaloney Don't bother me. I'm rewinding an MP3 file.
