So lovely and #heartwarming. Isn’t this all we want to be about? #rescue #care #friendship

Whadd’ya think; too demure, subtle?

A semi-publicly displayed wall tableau in French depicting (only male, mostly European or White) composers from each time period (Middle Ages to Modern), to which I have added stickers of names of female composers for each time period. Even Hildegard von Bingen was missing! I mean, come on!

Fixed it for you! (Or at least started!) which other #femalecomposer-s should I add to this sadly-deficient, sexist, classist and racist #composers’ tableau? (At least I got Florence Price on there!)

Ooh, I was wondering. Maybe I’ll have a go…

It’s a Beatle gone wrong!

Well, academia does build upon knowledge!

To the tune of That’s Entertainment:

“That’s Aca-dee-mia!”

Do rats have orgasms? Although humans experience orgasms with a degree of statistical regularity, they remain among the most enigmatic of sexual responses; difficult to define and even more difficult to study empirically. ...

Was it this extremely in-depth study, perchance?

Ha! IKR?!

In other news, coaching foreign singers in how to sing American blues (to the best ability of my white self) with effective pronunciation is a challenge in phonetic writing.

Thanks for this.

I’m going to use my newly-learnt French word appropriate to this: BEURK. 🤮

Just learned the French for “Blech” is “Beurk”. 🤮

Do with that what you must.

Love this! Singer, voice actress, writer, communicator, storyteller…

Surprise who?

Maybe it was just a pigeon. Maybe it was just a pigeon. #newmantra #mice #oldhome #countryside #Brittany

Just now realising the potential repercussions of this! #mice #oldhouse #Brittany

Sweet Melancholia (Music from the Resident Evil 6 Trailer), by Steve Kilpatrick from the album Music for Trailers

This happened to @soundfackery.bsky.social . A pianist had created “an arrangement” (more “interpretation”) of Steve’s Resident Evil 6 Trailer theme and was passing it off as his on YouTube.

That’s disappointing.

Do mice have orgasms?

Pretty sure I just heard one happening in the wall of my 19th century French countryside home!

They shelter inside in wintertime… #nature #theregoesmysleepin

Strangely, a BBC presenter on radio 4 just pronounced vinyl as VINE-ill. Not with a schwa, but with the vowel “I” with a real “ill”.

(Reminds me of David Mitchell’s “PET-rill” sketch.)

Is this a thing? #British #UK #pronunciation

I’m looking to create new relationships with makers of film and tv this year. Here’s the kind of thing I do.

Ah.

This.

Is the gold for which I follow you.

Note to anyone who needs it today: No situation was ever made worse by treating people as human beings.
