@futurebird All for this shift. “AT the weekEND” (BrE) “ON the WEEKend” (AmE)How should we parse these differences in meaning?

@futurebird Love this guy’s red cabbage-print outfit. Do y’all have a worm compost box? I’ve been wanting to finally get one, myself. We live in an old-town where there’s no organic waste pickup (otherwise common here in Germany) — because of rats, I suppose.

@futurebird Isn’t it fascinating how the sense of smell, archaic in its origins, has an unerring and embodied sense of morality? I trust the worms. The fungi, so ancient, have their own agenda that may/may not include our well-being. Ha! Truly Chthonic ones, these two subterranean alchemists.

@futurebird “The geosmin threshold” sound like a Le Guin poem still waiting to be unearthed (heheh). Perhaps the seeker must pass this scent border on the way through the labyrinth to the subterranean reservoir of collective memory, whose waters are watched over by the long-blind whale with its cavernous, sinuous heart.

elbphilharmonie’s interior ascent echoes oslo’s deichman bjørvika public library spiraling upwards — both are harborside cultural edifices, but while the former is rarefied and elite, the latter is open for all to read and lounge in.

"The existing system is built on fear of each other and of scarcity, and it has created more scarcity and more to be afraid of. It is mitigated every day by altruism, mutual aid, and solidarity, by the acts of individuals and organizations who are motivated by hope and by love rather than fear.”“A Paradise Built in Hell” by Rebecca Solnit

@futurebird euphemisms are a super interesting field: by seeing where they exist in multitudes, we see what makes us uncomfortable to talk about directly: money, sex, death, human waste/fluids… and so on.

@futurebird what amazed me when I lived in NYC was this very grace, compassion, and adaptability that enabled so many people to share such limited space and resources 24/7 — the subtle dance one learns intuitively to weave past one another — and that there wasn’t a riot breaking out daily seemed to prove our goodness, whether learned or inherent, as human beings

@futurebird yes. and i continually need to re-learn which folks just need someone to listen to their complaints. my natural tendency is to then say: how can we fix this? but (and it still surprises me), this seems to just add another problem to the person’s list? learning learning learning…
