Licensed under CreativeCommons (BY-NC-ND 3.0), as is all the music she's released since on BC. Maybe everything there, but I didn't check every single release.

#HatTip to the @bsots Radio music podcast for introducing me to this song, in part 2 of the interview with @musicman;

If you'd like to follow the #Disintermedia blog from your fediverse account, I just set up an actor for my blog that can followed from both the fediverse and the ATmosphere;

I'm hosting the blog on Ghost, which I thought was federated out-of-the-box. But it turns out I need a separate ActivityPub module to plug my Ghost instance into. As a stopgap, I can use BridgyFed for this.

#HatTip to the #BridgyFed team at @anewsocial for making this possible.

"... when people talk about autism they talk as if it were a gradient, not a spectrum at all."

I've been uncomfortable with the way people talk about the autistic s spectrum for ages, but couldn't put my finger on why. This one sentence absolutely nails it.

#HatTip to @dedicto for referencing the article in their bio.

"In this book, Sidney Dekker sets out to identify the market mechanisms that explain how less government paradoxically leads to greater compliance burdens. This book gives shape and substance to a suspicion that has become widespread among workers in almost every industry: we have to follow more rules than ever-and still, things can go spectacularly wrong."

"Advertising executives aren't 'creatives'. It's like calling landlords architects."

"I'm a dirty old man, and I feel like spanking somebody!"

Yeah, more or less 😁

#HatTip to @nevar23, whose October post linking to the Dozen's Cissy Strut introduced me to this fabulously spicy band.
