@mfjlewis I go to Mass in a very diverse parish in the UK with people from all over they world. A lot of the congregation from outside the UK extend their hands.
@coates_tim@DrDMcMenemy Are you suggesting that public libraries don’t have collections of value? In the UK, local authority libraries have significant collections with value to researchers. I used them myself.
@coates_tim I still think that Michael Gorman’s description of the role of libraries in ‘Our enduring values’ is valid - stewardship is the first value, and rationalism, intellectual freedom and equity of access are also key.
@coates_tim The restrictions on what books can be stocked - made at a district level, and what Tracie D Hall and the ALA described as ‘Information redlining’ limiting access to digital services and broadband by neighbourhoods are serious challenges in parts of the US.
@LucyHunterB Agree 💯. I have hired wheelchairs for the day but they can be pretty expensive and awkward to fit in a car. Shopmobility schemes are often really limited.
@HumanistQuaker Jeans and trainers would be the most common clothing, with families of African heritage most often in ‘Sunday best’. (Large urban, ethnically diverse parish in Leicester.)
@HumanistQuaker My CofE husband was really surprised at how scruffy some of the congregation would look at my RC Mass, but, on reflection, lots of people would come before or after work, playing sport, as attendance was such a part of the everyday. Some would dress up, not all.
@AncientBritonX You aren’t allowed to film playing these pianos for monetized content without specific permission. That’s what this man does as he’s a YouTuber. It’s rage bait. @grok
@pippaisright That isn’t what is happening.
The pianist is Brendan Kavanagh. He has a YouTube channel, on which he frequently posts videos of himself breaking the rules surrounding the public pianos he plays.
He films the interactions for clicks and his vids are monetised.
@MAP1891@pippaisright At St Pancras, commercial filming requires a permit. That’s the rule. It’s not the playing of the piano that’s the issue, it’s that Brendan Kavanagh frequently creates monetised content without the permit he requires.
@PadraigBelton I’ve used ‘MaccyDs’ but that’s been around for years and referred to the ‘rona, but I have never and would never use the others, ever. Obviously, I’ll refer to mezze, tapas or a buffet, depending on what I’ve made.
