In all seriousness though, I wonder sometimes if all the stupid crap that hits Twitter right before GC is to keep us focused on others sins rather than our own so when we here correction from the pulpit we miss that it’s supposed to apply to us.
3 Observations after 3-ish months back on X
1-This platform makes everyone autistic. Interacting with strangers in a communication vacuum missing body language, tone of voice & facial expression means everything is misunderstood all of the time.
@TooManyLogans I’ll never be able to unsee it. The header image should have been a warning. We should have just sucked it up and paid to watch the 2013 Globe Theatre recording
3-Everyone is doing a bit and assumes replies that don’t match their tone are playing the role of the “straight man” to their “comedic genius.” The result is stupid exchanges like this:
2-This platform is also tough for people like me who process things verbally but can’t/don’t want to pay for premium. Trying to keep things concise (especially when short on time) often makes me sound way more neurotic and/or angry than I actually am in the moment
My face when I learn that the church added a metronome feature to the music section of gospel library to help accompanists “keep music at a joyful tempo”
@SunsetRanchAZ I appreciate it. My mom took seminary/institute teaching classes back in the day, but it’s been 30-ish years so I could use an update
But also, if you’re musical and can play piano and your ward knows it, you’re doomed to always have accompanist callings. RIP your other talents
@SunsetRanchAZ I think this is an under-utilized feature in the gospel library app. But there are also other ways for wards to introduce these hymns that aren’t happening either.
