C’est drôle, on demande toujours aux musulman·e·s un tant soit peu pratiquant·e·s de prouver qu’elles et ils ne soutiennent pas Daesh, en revanche personne ne demande jamais aux chrétien·ne·s ce qu’elles et ils pensent du Ku Klux Klan 🤔.

Please don’t buy into this rhetoric, especially if you’re from a marginalized community. Do your work well within the hours you’re being paid to do that work. Then, if you have the mental space, work on something for yourself. Don’t give everything to a company you don’t own. https://twitter.com/putemupcdukes/status/997448716398325762

I never do this, but this is important so please RT if you agree: It's not okay for my mobile provider to sell or give my mobile device location info to a 3rd party without at least a court order/subpoena.

My review of Bart Ehrman's *Forged: Writing in the Name of God*, about Biblical authorship:

But instead of reading it or the book, read Ole Bjørn Rekdal's article "Academic urban legends", an amazing, hilarious analysis of that long-lived academic urban legend—that we thought spinach had high iron for decades because someone misread a decimal point: this will elucidate Biblical authorship, urban legends, and convergent confusion much more:

>> … on average, when Craigslist’s opened erotic services in a city, the female homicide rate went down 17 percent.
> 17 percent. That’s not the homicide rate for female sex workers. That’s the homicide rate for all women.

If I could convince Mastodon at large of only one thing, it would be this:

if you see someone complaining, DO NOT give them advice.

If someone ASKS for advice, offer it.

But 90% of the time, someone complaining is just venting. They're not telling you the whole story, and they're not receptive to being given advice, because in that mental state, your "good-natured advice" is their "HERE'S HOW YOU'RE DOING THIS WRONG".

Do not respond with advice unless it's asked for.

Some of the names I was given led me to this wiki I had never heard of: ChoralWiki, home of the Choral Public Domain Library! “Here you will find free choral/vocal scores, texts, translations, and other useful information.” I love that these things exist.

As for myself, I’m listening to Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem.
