I do this manually at the end of each week: collating (and sometimes lightly editing) most of the recent little comments I’ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad. I mostly hang out on Mastodon (at post.lurk.org/@disquiet), and I’m also trying out a few others. And I take weekends off social media.
▰ Morning duet for refrigerator hum and lawn mower
▰ The occasional instance when a music publicist sends an album and you explain that you purchased it a couple days earlier
▰ Whatever the word is for being both utterly mystified and not remotely surprised, that is my state of mind after yesterday’s news about Bandcamp’s direction following its sale to yet another company
▰ I’m sorry if you followed me recently on SoundCloud and make exactly the sort of music I might listen to and I didn’t follow you back but SoundCloud still has its follow limit set to 2,000, and provides no real tool to whittle the dead accounts one already follows. I do bookmark some newer accounts.
▰ This week’s Disquiet Junto music community project was informed by my current Duolingo efforts, specifically trying to sort out the difference, in German, between “leise” and “ruhig.”
▰ The haiku of the “notable deaths” on Wikipedia from the few couple days:
“Moldovan pan pipes player”
“New Zealand aviation entrepreneur”
“Dutch darts player”
“Romanian freestyle wrestler”
