Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:

Okay, I'm thinking about gift giving today. A little backstory about why:

Every year my Father-in-law attempts to get my Mother-in-law a gift. She is a bit of a shopper, and is notoriously difficult to shop for. Every year he gets her something he guesses a woman would like (perfume, sweater, jewelry), and every year she doesn't really like it, and ends up begrudgingly using it or returns it. They have been married over 30 years, and seem to have a pretty good marriage otherwise. It's like she wants him to magically understand what she wants, and he is sort of equally bad at the whole thing too. I will never understand why they don't just have a conversation about this. Just for extra fun, she is the most bizarre gift giver, also, to the point that it has become an annual tradition that I show my friends what she got us. A small list of things we have gotten:

A couch cover with grapes on it
A sexy nightgown
A painting of the house they live in
A gourd painted to look like a cat eating a bird
A package of tea that I would have absolutely loved, stuffed with cheap tea bags
Children's Lego sets
Toy trains
Underwear that didn't fit either of us
A wooden board covered in seashells that is supposed to hold a curling iron
A waterproof bed cover

I could go on and on. Just to clarify this doesn't bother me or my husband at all, we actually get a kick out of the weirdness. I don't personally care about presents much, I'm more of an experiences person.

SO, if you've managed to get this far, how do you feel about gift giving/getting? Feel free to elaborate and give examples!

@RickiTarr also there is no way to make "thank you for the tea bag" sound sincere

@RickiTarr my ex-grandparents-in-law one year sent a single tea bag sellotaped to the inside of a Christmas card.

Just to balance things out, tell me an artist, that as far as you know, seems to be a decent person, as well as a great artist!

@TLB73 @RickiTarr can confirm - once found myself propping up a bar next to Keith Flint, and we ended up having a lovely two hour conversation about life the universe and everything, a very kind clever insightful man.

Nästa år vill jag skriva en bok. Den ska handla om hur man som vanlig människa ska hantera all teknik man har omkring sig. Lösenord, sms, e-legitimation, digitala formulär, fotodelning, kakor, prenumerationer och allt annat du kommer att tänka på i samband med det.

På ett enkelt språk så att alla får en chans att förstå och möjlighet ta tillbaka lite av den kontroll som tagits från dem.

Du läste det här först.

Och nu har jag sagt det så nu får det bli så.

Boken ska få heta Tekniktrygg.

@axbom en kopia till mig, och en till min pappa, som har jobbat med datorer sen 1950 talet, men har ändå noll chans att ta sig igenom det dagliga outgrundliga teknikhelvetet

Half thinking of starting an hashtag here, about the dire, dire state of UK (global?) higher education. Sharing nuggets of senior management decisions, neoliberal language, and overall slow collapse.

Won’t work of course because most of us can’t risk honesty, but honestly: the everyday reality of what is happening deserves recording in all its depressing and damning detail.

@mothninja@mastodon.world avatar

@pvonhellermannn .....but these are surely subjects we desperately need more people studying right now given handwaves at the burning heaps of literally everything How terribly sad and shortsighted.

Svenska fedi! 🇸🇪 Finns det någon här som sjunger i kör/dirigerar kör/organiserar körrelaterade saker/känner någon sysslar med körer? Jag har ett par frågor och möjligen en idé... boosta gärna och stort tack på förhand!
