@LillyHerself@Mastodon.socialWilliam Gibson mentioned this Bowie song in his stream today, and how it had risen up in his mind. I was not familiar with it, but now I see the lyrics I understand why it feels topical.
Five Years, by David Bowie:
@davej@dice.campI cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet. He was in the stall of a Shinjuku men’s room, and he tried to eat my face.
Onryō are fucked up, y’all.

@luana@wetdry.worldI'm honestly so sad that Mélie leaves... I literally cried today...
I just made my headcanon that they're still together, that Amicia was able to break Mélies anger down and go through the grief process together as girlfriends. That'd make sense as they went through things in common with Arthur disappearing and then after he was back Hugo disappeared, I wish we had more shown of them relating to each other and helping each other go through.
Well, better, my headcanon is that Arthur didn't die at all. But still, Amicia and Mélie should always stick together.
I went looking and apparently Mélie isn't even mentioned in Requiem, that sucks...
@inthehands@hachyderm.ioRe this post:
Back in 2012, the Minnesota Orchestra musicians went on strike over a semi-secretive plan from the board to remake the orchestra (one of the best in the world) by slashing player salaries, gutting creative direction, and turning them into a sort of pop-lite-classical easy listening machine of some kind — details very fuzzy, rationale even fuzzier.
During the dispute, a slide deck of their shadowy plan leaked. It was somewhat garbled and confusing, and missing all the key details and analysis that everyone was dying for. “What are you hiding??” the public cried, “Show us the full plan!!” “What are you talking about? We did!” “No, not just the presentation! The actual plan!”
A confused period followed during which it became clear that the slide deck •was• the full plan.
This little gaggle of the Brightest Minds of Business moonlighting on a nonprofit board thought that gutting a local institution required so little thought that when people saw the full analysis, they assumed the board must be hiding something.

@pre@boing.worldAw, he nearly cried as he gave up his job. He's lost the confidence of of the parliamentary party and say's he'll stand down.
Two year Kier they'll call him.
Looking like Burnham might be coronated without even a Labour Party MPs vote then. Just nominated unopposed.
That's probably bad for him really. Needs some kind of media spectacle in which he can lay out his plan for the country.
Maybe Streeting will step in and give us a competition.

@bammerlaan@mastodon.nlEnjoyed Ash Bentley's comments on #GenderIndoctrination in her latest video. Apparently there's some cookbook for cakes that was very popular in anglophone countries on the nineties.
Of course, the sewing machine cake was for girls. As was the stove cake 🥲
Growing up in that era, I remember these differences still being heavily engrained in society. As a kid, I was once at a fair in which I could pick a prize after winning some game, and I actually wanted the Barbie knock-off doll. That would pair nicely with the Action Man dolls I had at home. But my mom, standing next to me, told me no—I'd be better off picking that toy car. When we were walking back to our bikes, she told me she was afraid of running into some classmates of mine, who would probably have bullied me for walking around with a Barbie. That became one of my core memories, looking back 🤔
No shade on my mom, of course. She was trying to look out for me. (Though the "tough boys don't cry" admonishion whenever I cried also left some marks. I was well into my thirties before I could sort-of cry in front of others again.)
