- enjoys #soup, #CloseHarmony, #mountainhiking, #repairing, and #vegan food, but not #procrastination, #CognitiveDissonance, #Necropolitics, or #InstitutionalRacism;
- supports fair trade and #FairChain/#FairShare (FairTrade is a colonial concept that reinforces inequality), #organic, and therefore avoids shops and online stores run by exploiters (of the earth, including people);
- believes that most people are decent, and look up to those who stand for love and radical equality and ‘drive the money-changers from the temple’, but are naturally fearful and therefore easily choose leaders who sell hatred, discrimination in service of those who exploit;
- is a militant #pacifist with an understanding of defensive violence (against mosquitoes and exploiters);
- has the privilege of being able to choose paid work that benefits the world and ...
- philosophises briefly on the world and then at length on the text he has written;
- fact-checks what he shares, and the authors he quotes, but sometimes not, or only afterwards;

- geniet van #soep, #CloseHarmony, #bergwandeling, #repareren, #vegan eten, maar niet van #procrastinatie, #CognitieveDissonantie, #Necropolitiek, of #InstitutioneelRacisme;
- steunt eerlijke handel en #FairChain/#FairShare (FairTrade is een koloniaal concept dat ongelijkheid versterkt), #biologisch, en vermijdt daarom winkels en webshops van uitbuiters (van de aarde, inclusief de mensen);
- gelooft dat de meeste mensen deugen, en naar mensen opkijken die voor liefde en radicale gelijkheid zijn en “handelaren de tempel uit jagen”, maar van nature bang zijn en daarom makkelijk leiders kiezen die haat en discriminatie verkopen in dienst van de uitbuiters;
- is een militante #pacifist met begrip voor defensief geweld (tegen muggen en uitbuiters);
- heeft het privilege om betaald werk te kunnen kiezen waar de wereld beter van wordt, en ..
- filosofeert kort over de wereld en daarna lang over de tekst die hij geschreven heeft;
- fact checkt wat hij deelt, en auteurs die hij citeert, maar soms niet, of pas achteraf;

korte #introductie

Given that the forecast calls for the first #snow of the season in #RochesterNY on Sunday night, I am obliged by personal tradition to repost this glorious arrangement of snow from the movie White Christmas as performed by the excellent and immensely talented Florida based vocal group #Voctave. Enjoy, and may we have a lovely night of snow.

The Everly Brothers is the 1958 eponymous debut album of close harmony singing duo the Everly Brothers.

"Wake Up Little Susie", song No. 311, was controversial enough as to be banned in Boston with its story of a teen couple who fall asleep during a boring film and wake far past curfew.

In a retrospective review for Allmusic, Richie Unterberger writes of the album "Although the Everlys hadn't quite fully matured as artists, their debut is a fine, consistent effort divided between original material and respectably energetic covers of early rockers by Little Richard, Gene Vincent, and Ray Charles."
