For those in research or innovation spaces, (including open source),
What is your method for assigning tasks, of different priority and involvement levels.
How do you differentiate between presenting volunteer/open that have one set of quality standards, vs other quality standards for different tasks-roles-responsibilities?
Okay, here we go! Giving social media another try with #Mastodon since I started to miss the academic community that social media used to provide for me.
I'm Nele, a #linguistics postdoc at the University of Oslo, working on the language of fake news in English. I'm also affiliated with Lund University through my work on the London–Lund Corpus 2 and spoken language.
That's (mainly) what I'll be posting about. Here we go again!
The 16th C composer Thomas Whythorne wrote that maids go for looks, but widows have...um...other priorities. To court an experienced woman, he said, you "must not carry quick eels in your codpiece, but show some proof of being stiff." #eels#history#medieval#datingadvice
This week's #MythologyMonday theme is fire and there are two major Greek gods associated with fire: #Hestia, goddess of the hearth, and #Hephaistos, god of smiths.
They represent #fire in two different forms: the sacrificial flame of the hearth as the sacred centre of domestic life and the flame of Hephaistos, source of all arts, and fuel of the funeral pyre. But both could be invoked for the cooking of sacrificial meat or a good meal:
If it did go out, only sacred fire produced by friction, or by bronze burning mirrors drawing fire from the sun, might be used to rekindle it.
A ritual from #Lemnos, the cult centre of #Hephaistos, has all fires on Lemnos extinguished for nine days until new fire is brought from the island of #Delos:
"And the island of #Lemnos is purified every year for the deed once done to the men on Lemnos by their wives at #Aphrodite's instigation. The fire on Lemnos is extinguished for nine days. A sacred ship from #Delos, however, carries the fire, and if it arrives before the offerings for the dead, it puts in nowhere on Lemnos, but rides at anchor off the headlands out at sea until sailing into the harbor is permitted by divine law."
Heroikos by Lucius Flavius Philostratus, 213–214 CE

From what I've seen from Euphoria, the cinematography is really good, but between the gratuitous nudity, and S02 sucking, I don't want to watch it. Are there any shows that were shot in a similar way?
The neon aesthetic seems like a newer trend (a trend that I love) and I see it most on these HBO shows that tend to have nudity. It’s not new and it’s not neon, but Breaking Bad has some incredibly creative cinematography, especially in the later seasons.
Weird that the neon and the nudity tend to go together.
Do most HBO shows have nudity? I know that Game Of Thrones has its reputation but I didn't hear about The Last Of Us having any nudity, Succession had basically no nudity and I really enjoyed the HBO Film Bad Education, which also had no nudity.
I've generally thought that HBO's penchant for nudity is a bit overblown, but I could be wrong.
Alright I'm liking Baldur's Gate 3 so far. The facial animations are very expressive, but does anyone notice the characters in a conversation kinda teleport around a lot? Is that just me?
My name is Ahmed, I graduated in Literature, and I'm currently working as a copywriter. Above all, I'll love reading novels.
My recent fav novel is The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolano. Currently I'm reading Lucy by Jamica Kincaid. If you're a #literature enthusiast, I'd love to connect with you. Also, I'm always open to get book recommendations from others. So, do drop your favs.
