@The_Icarian I don’t know any 12 year old mature enough to be a parent.

@sarahstierch I’m trying not to be snarky with my responses, so I’ll just say that’s a very lovely gesture.

I love The Bangles cover of this awesome Simon and Garfunkel song. The drums are fantastically high in the mix.

@beer I belong to the “mug club” at one of our local breweries. Larger servings, discounts in cans, growlers, and merch. Special events for members only. Great beer (although everyone gets this...)

Just moved to a new server, so here is a new #intro post. I am a #musician in New Orleans. I play #trombone and teach #musictech. I play lots of music including #jazz, #freejazz, #improv. I am also lucky enough to get to play in horn sections with some of the greats of New Orleans funk. Getting back into #vinyl records. I work in #maxmsp and #AbletonLive

We will be opening up around 2000 more TestFlight spots in about 1 hour (9:00am CST) from the timestamp of this post!

1. Make sure you already have the official Testflight app from the app store and have accepted any agreements it might contain.

2. Check this TestFlight link at around 9 for the spots to open back up: testflight.apple.com/join/iDgG (It's going to say it is full right now).

3. Enjoy using an alpha product. There are still many features missing and we will get to them eventually.

Good! Change is needed in republican leadership. This is a healthy process.

@GardenerPodcast@mindly. On stump and stack and stem, —
The summer’s empty room,
Acres of seams where harvests were,
Recordless, but for them.

It ruffles wrists of posts,
As ankles of a queen, —
Then stills its artisans like ghosts,
Denying they have been.

@GardenerPodcast
Reminds me Emily Dickinson's:

It sifts from leaden sieves,
It powders all the wood,
It fills with alabaster wool
The wrinkles of the road.

It makes an even face
Of mountain and of plain, —
Unbroken forehead from the east
Unto the east again.

It reaches to the fence,
It wraps it, rail by rail,
Till it is lost in fleeces;
It flings a crystal veil

I #Wonder if the #Snow #Loves the #Trees and #Fields,
that it #Kisses them so #Gently?

And then it covers them up, so #Snug,
you know, with a white #Quilt;

And perhaps it says
'Go to #Sleep, #Darlings, till the #Summer comes again.'
