Same-day delivery is such a recent expectation. To call it a "thing of the past" may be accurate as in "no longer available" but it's also misleading with its unintentional implication of a longer history. If it was just a brief blip, we'll manage just fine. Livable cities and a livable planet have to be our priority.

May your new year be sweet and good.

 

i really need a mobility device/assistive technology for my brain. like thinking sticks. wouldn't that be lovely? we could do so much more.

 

Just want to recommend this drama series from Thailand about gay men, relationships, found family, loss, vulnerability, letting go and moving on. They have their ups and downs and arguments but support each other through it all. It is beautiful in every way.

The name comes from the late night chicken-rice diner owned by Jim, who's struggling financially but does his best to take care of everyone, including raising his confused and rebelling teenage nephew on his own. Into his life comes cheeky Wen, who's complicated his own situation but is otherwise full of emotional intelligence.

One of the characters is deaf and doesn't speak. He and the nephew have their own distinct but integrated story line. Two young men helping each other grow into maturity.

All of the characters are genuinely good guys. Masculinity as complex, often vulnerable, and thoroughly non-toxic.

It's on GMMTV's youtube (or your favourite non-tracking alternative front-end) channel. Playlist on the link.

Something with environmentalist and sustainability goals and principles rather than forms of destruction. I don't want to kill things or chop down trees or blow stuff up. The world is difficult and I am tired.

 

just sharing 4:46 minutes of joy :)

Masha du Toit is celebrating the release of their books on 7 new platforms by making them free until 31st July (except on Amazon because Amazon has other ideas). Sci-fi and fantasy, LGBTQ.

Spread the word :)

To start with, Masha recommends "The Babylon Eye", "We Broke the Moon" (YA drama), or "Ray and the Cat Thing" (quite light).

New to Lemmy, wasn't on Reddit so i don't know the etiquette or how multiple groups are commonly used.

I'd really like to let everyone know about something (temporarily free sci-fi & fantasy ebooks and their writer) but don't want to spam or break norms. Is one post per group acceptable, even if I post to several groups or is that frowned upon?

 

Should I go back to posting links? I have 20 years worth :) Would you like more information in the title? I'll give most any trad/folk a listen so I didn't think to do that.

 

Not sure if there are many people looking in, but maybe we can get some conversation going....

I'm partial to kamancheh (Persian spiked fiddle), spiked and regular fiddles in general, nyckelharpa, and kudyapi (Philippine boat lute played with a hella groove). I'll add links to examples if anyone is interested.

 

"A little tune about all the good parties that, for some reason, always ends up in the kitchen." If you ever get a chance to hear these lads live, grab it. They're brilliant.

Lush Balkan Brass, one of my favourite albums. The whole disc is well worth close and repeated listening.

Was able to hear these lads live many years back, when they did a small warm-up tour with a very informal "figuring this out" kind of vibe. It was brilliant and so much fun.

The Nightride Set from Kan: Aidan O'Rourke, Brian Finnegan, Ian Stephenson and Jim Goodwin (go baldies ;)

Hello. Thank you for making this community. I live in Scotland and listen to traditional musics from around the world. My favourite instrument is the kamancheh (Persian spiked fiddle) and my favourite traditions are Romani and Balkan Brass.
