I'm popping out for a while: just taking a social media holiday while I finish a couple of projects. I'm looking forward to being back here to find out what you've all been up to; but for the next 6 - 8 weeks I will be observing radio silence. Enjoy the summer / winter.
Fond memories of a mass trespass: a year ago, we met in rain, walked through mist to sun; chats with friends like Ian, Andrea, Curtis and Emily; other conversations with strangers; the speeches and music; that sweet feeling of a solidarity that tries not to sacrifice diversity.
Very enjoyable mass trespass, organised by @LandscapesofF. Starting in drizzle but sun coming out in time for picnics in glorious Downland and talks from @BlackGirlsHike, @guyshrubsole, #DaveBangs and others, including Gypsy, Roma, Traveller perspective https://t.co/xAkOaDzlPw
@espejoacustico @disquiet I'm not sure if he was a founder member (do you know @Radio_Mind?) but I think Peter Strickland was in the actual Sonic Catering Band: https://t.co/g58IYQQ2WK
Why things like @divideclass need to exist. From @lokiscottishrap excellent new book, The social distance between us. Looking forward to interviewing Darren for the Class Divide podcast series.
@marcgarrett20 @espejoacustico I'd love to know more than what I've happened to encounter indirectly through different Beat, swing(e)ing London and counter-culture stories. What if any were connections to Campaign Against Assessment? Something else only very vague for me https://t.co/WdKh3cnhz7
@earthkeptwarm Hippo - horse (hippodrome), so hippopotamus is 'river horse' and hippotigrine is 'horse with tiger stripes' and the 'ine' is an extra bit of horse thrown in for good measure (equine). Er, I think.
"what can a multidisciplinary artist collective learn from non-human ways of living, working and being creative?" Its official. Mehiläisten seura, an arts collective I am a member of will represent Finland at the 2023 Prague Quadrennial (PQ23). https://t.co/J6EQflXvOe
I thought you were complaining about how much you have on your plate, Angus? Get back to work and stop looking up words like buteonine for Buzzard (my list is borrowed from Quora user Michael Spuehler https://t.co/I6HhLTg0qY)
Other more-than-more-than-human adjacencies: corvine (deer), pulicine (flea), macropine (kangaroo), strigine (owl), phocine (seal), mephitine (skunk), sciurine (squirrel), chelonian (turtle but tortoises have their own with testudine), pardine (leopard), hippotigrine (zebra).
