Hey @neilhimself any advice for an aspiring comic book writer who has familial tremors so he can't draw worth a damn and has entire worlds he could partner with some artists on? I can't afford to commission entire comics with my current job, and I've been searching for an artist or artists to partner with for years. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Loved the second season of good omens btw! Can't wait for season 3!
@neilhimself I just moved out here to Austin, I'm not sure how prevalent the art department is at UT. I have yet to avail myself of the local library, been meaning to do that. Those are some good options, thank you good sir for your Sage advice. :)
Any ideas? I’m looking for articles, maybe even research, on the impact on grief when family members or friends die overseas & you can’t really help from Australia (or wherever you live). For instance, war zones, natural disasters, human-made disasters & the like. I can’t find anything. 🤞#grief#bereavement#mourning

@BBC_News_Labs One problem everybody is certainly struggling with is how to deal with the flood of information.
I think the big social media sites play a detrimental role in news writing & dissemination, because they force you to post frequently and with attention-grabbing headlines (preferably ones that make people angry) in order to feed "the algorithm".
I think Mastodon and the Fediverse can be a chance for change here too, because you can post as seldomly as you like and still be seen.
Die Zeitschrift für Soziologie ist jetzt auch auf Mastodon. Hier folgen in Kürze Vorstellungen der aktuellen und der aktuell besonders relevanten Artikel.

I'm to stressed to read fiction, but last Friday, just before the war began I finished: Venomous Lumpsucker
Three words: Extinction Credit Economics
How would capitalism react to fines placed on causing extinction?
I was impressed by Beauman's understanding that you don't need to be evil to participate in the ecology's destruction. The extinction industry arseholes aren't competent or smart, just indifferent and greedy.
What a stunning 12th century definition of the work of lexicographers by Marie de France! Her passage beautifully captures how earlier scholars often wrote in metaphorical or obscure language, requiring future readers to decipher and interpret the meaning. But Marie is also remarkably prescient in recognizing this interpretive process as the essence of creating a gloss (or dictionary) elucidating the symbolic "letter" of a text by bridging context and definitions.
For all the dictionary-makers – and their forever unfinished yet deeply meaningful job: Happy Dictionary Day!

#AllStarTrek I love me some #StarTrek but for Pity's sake, #Worf and #Dax are of two separate species from completely different biospheres. How the heck are they supposed to successfully mate? It's ridiculous!
