I do this manually at the end of each week: collating most of the recent little comments I’ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad. I also find knowing I will revisit my posts to be a positive and mellowing influence on my social media activity. I mostly hang out on Mastodon (at post.lurk.org/@disquiet), and I’m also trying out a few others. And I generally take weekends off social media.
As with last week, I had a fairly limited amount of social media posting apparently:
▰ I love how you can walk around SFMOMA and hear people humming bits of the song from Ragnar Kjartansson’s The Visitors installation. It’s a freeform extension of the exhibit. I’m gonna miss The Visitors when it ends its two-year-plus run in January
▰ It can feel like there are two types of guitar classes: (1) This song is new to me, and I can’t get the melody in my head; (2) I’ve been singing this song to myself for decades, but apparently I’ve been singing it wrong the whole time.
▰ I walk into the barbershop and the barber, just back from lunch, turns on some music. The song? Almost too perfect: the Zombies’ “Goin’ out of My Head.” More like “growin’” but still.
▰ I’m deep into reading too many books at the same time, but I did manage this week to finish one, Kaliane Bradley’s The Ministry of Time.
