Anything you can give on a one-time or recurring basis is very much appreciated!

Musing Studio enables artists to share their work without social media.

every paragraph in this paper is blowing my mind https://www.cell.com/trends/cognitive-sciences/fulltext/S1364-6613(22)00236-4 even as someone who already believed in the infinite variety of language, there are just so many deeply researched counterexamples to basically anything you think is universal (especially if you're using english as your basis for "universal")
@arskinF Next can we do where to put clothes I have worn once.. I have always suspected all adult citizens except for myself know this, but I put them on the back of a chair until it falls over, and then I put them in the wash.

Some of the most radical people you know are old.

It's just a lot of others died before they could get there, so there's a diminishing proportion. (2/5)

Romania was fun but I'm rubbish at social media because I've only started processing since coming back and I don't have anything to relate about it.
