Here are two very different subreddits that I created and administrate.

This is a subreddit for those who love, or are even curious about, opera and its singers from the 1950's and earlier. Feel free to ask questions, share reviews and links, and discuss this wonderful genre of music and the singers and composers who brought it to life. Everyone, from beginners to experts, is welcome.

https://www.reddit.com/r/OldOpera/

If you want to join apositive subreddit for the blind, try r/BlindandFine. The subject matter is far less strict than at r/blind, since not everything needs to be related to blindness. This is more of a place where we can get to know each other and have fun. We allow sighted people to join as well, and we welcome questions about blindness if they are genuine, requests for feedback on surveys or technology about/for the blind, etc. However, I do ask that you join only if you are eighteen or older. Please also note that this is not a therapy/support group. If you need that, then r/blind is for you. I am not an administrator there, only of Blind and Fine.

Coatue Management's Thomas Laffont likes the idea of recording and analyzing meetings to flag worrying behavior.The hedge fund leader told TBPN that recording meetings would lead to a "better world," though it would likely hurt morale.Ray Dalio's Bridgewater famously tried recording meetings in the past in an effort to boost transparency.In the era of Zoom calls and hybrid work, white-collar workers are used to being on camera. Whether their employer should analyze the footage is another question.

Thomas Laffont, cofounder of the hedge fund giant Coatue Management, made his case for the idea on TBPN this week: "I believe that meetings should be recorded."

"Years after #YounesDardashti’s death, his granddaughter #Galeet is still singing with him in #NewYork.

Using #archival #recordings of her grandfather’s voice, #GaleetDardashti created her #album #Monajat — meaning an intimate conversation with God — layering her vocals over decades-old tapes of him #singing #Selihot, religious poetry chanted nightly before the #Jewish New Year.

Across the country in #LosAngeles, #JacquelineRafii — senior #cantor of Valley Beth Shalom, one of the largest Conservative #synagogues in the U.S. — is also working to preserve her #Iranian grandfather’s traditional #Persian Jewish #music.

While in #cantorial school, Rafii rediscovered cassette tapes made of her grandfather leading a #Passover seder in #Tehran. When her family was forced to flee the country following the #IslamicRevolution in 1979, they brought that cassette tape with them."

42 years ago today, March 17, 1984, Reba McEntire debuted at #66 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Just a Little Love”. It went on to peak at #5 and spent a total of 19 weeks on the chart.

After a good amount of success on Mercury Records, this was her first single on MCA Records, the beginning of hit-after-hit for her throughout several years.

Other than whyp.it and clyp.it, does anyone know of an accessible site where I can create a profile and upload mp3s with titles, descriptions, and tags? I am not referring to music. These recordings are things such as product reviews and demonstrations, personal opinions on various non-political things, demonstrations of how to do things blind, and general discussion. I am not interested in artwork or complicated layouts, nor in extreme sensorship (obviously barring illegal things). If you've seen Whyp and Clyp, then you know what I am seeking. Basically, it's an audio version of Youtube. For some reason, the Pricing page on Whyp won't let me select monthly, only yearly or lifetime, even if I click the monthly button. I also couldn't even get to that page from their site but had to use a search engine. AStill, the man who runs it is very responsive and kind. Maybe, I'll try sending him an e-mail.
