Someone just pointed out to me that “facetious” (or “facetiously” if you wanna get kinky) contains every vowel in alphabetical order so obviously now it is my favorite word for at least the next five minutes.

This picture has been making the rounds again, and is being misidentified again.
This is a GOOSEFISH.
This is NOT a tasselled wobbegong shark.
It’s a great pic. I get why people are very excited about it. But it’s as easy to give it the right name as the wrong one.

Well hello Bandcamp Friday, so nice of you to have *all* money from sales today go directly to the musicians. What’s that? Why yes, here is a musician, for example, whose EP from earlier this year, Look At Them Fly Away, is quite excellent: matthewschickele.bandcamp.com/music

This committee has zero credibility and the process for this vote was chaotic.

One of the doctoral researchers I work with is doing research on film sound and its connection to emotional responses. She's doing a short online survey/questionnaire. Takes about 10 minutes. If you are able to help that would be great 😌 york.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

An all-too-common mistake is inferring the sexuality of historical figures based on contemporary standards that didn’t apply back then. For example, in the 1970s it was normal for a cop, a biker, a Native American, a construction worker, and a cowboy to be friends. It didn’t mean they were gay.

If you didn't dump Spotify because they paid Joe Rogan a gazillion dollars, you can dump them because they're running ads for ICE! There are so many reasons to dropify Spotify!
I have canceled my Spotify subscription until the ICE ads are removed. Streaming hate is a choice and I refuse to fund it. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/9hUJhN2u

I have the first volume and it is GORgeous and i can’t wait for the next volume. Highly recommended! (and you can get both volumes at the kickstarter)
I did the math and we need 162 more people to buy this book to make our goal. the other option is one person buys 162 books. So if you are looking to purchase 162 copies of the same (great) book, wow do I have a deal for you

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.
Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?
But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

I implore you, do not engage with any of the government accounts (or their troll entourage) that have shown up over the past few days. Don't dunk or quote or reply. Just block them.
They are baiting people. Engaging with them is *what they want.* Do not give them what they want.

Most conscientious music fans know *why* so many artists are choosing to remove their music from Spotify, so I wanted to find out more about *how* it’s being done—and what it means for artists and labels’ financial future moving forward
