Musician and composer.

Arrived as an immigrant in the US with big ideas: a podcast about my journey to find a musical life in a new country. Caught Covid on the trip. (Yes I wore a mask.) Isolating for days and now at the boredom stage. I read an article about Mastodon and thought, "why not?" Maybe there still is a place where people can be nice online.

@kadrismith That whole singles album is utterly fantastic!

I've been saving it, having loved RM's last podcast (Bagman?) and heard her give a couple of interviews about this one. I'm looking forward to it even more now.

@MaRY1Fem it's funny that immediately after I wrote that I saw that you'd boosted another post exactly about hashtags on Mastodon. I'd only meant your hashtags for the women in Rock 'n' Roll

@MaRY1Fem I loved this article. Thanks also for showing me how to use a hashtag.

Imagine if all 7 of these nations stood together. If they really stand for, or care about "one love", wouldn't that be a genuine show of unity? Would Fifa ban all these teams? Would it sanction them? If 7 European nations, suddenly looked like not playing, would Fifa be forced to think about their bottom line? Isn't that all they really care about anyway? One love, my tuchus!

Tl;dr: begins with b and rhymes with "rollocks".

England feared ‘unlimited liability’ on captains in dropping armband protest

England, Wales and five other nations dropped their pro-diversity armband protest at the World Cup because they feared ‘unlimited liability’ would be placed on their captains

If I just say "super duper" will it obviously be an Irving Berlin reference? I doubt it has much resonance nearly 100 years after the fact. But I live in hope.

Big EV fan here. Just gave one up when emigrating. Planning to get a new one ASAP in my new adopted country. Still can't see myself driving my family around in that. Or driving to a gig with three guitars and an amp, for fhat matter. Or even carrying a big suitcase. Oh well.

@lauren that's a good point. I would be happy with less info coming from there overall, for sure, directly or indirectly. I suspect other social media have a bigger and worse influence, given how many people just pick rubbish straight off facebook, for example.

@lauren given that it's actually quite a small percentage of the polulation who are twits, do you think it's really that important? (If this seems a snitty question, apologies. I mean it in good faith.)

@conniptions cryptic much? Also isn't it like 4 in the morning for you? Whatever you did might seem more, you know, after some sleep..
