More recorder: Actual folk recorder playing, which totes exists, is really hard to find out about. Meet the sjofloyte, "sea flute”, the Norwegian folk recorder, except sometimes it's just a standard manufactured alto. If anybody else knows about actual folk recorder traditions, i.e. not just people playing folk tunes on recorder out of a book, do let us all know please! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c9ckNdFC88 #Recorder #NorwegianFolkMusic #Folkmusic #ethnomusicology

mastodon 4.7.3Animist. Musician. NSFP (Not Safe For People). Majored in religious studies and minored in folklore, which basically means I know more about mythology than most people want to conceive of. It is neither normal nor practical, and I like it that way. I play, more or less well, a bunch of different instruments from around the world, it all began with khomus/Drummbel (A.K.A. the Jew's harp). Ich lann Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch. Ich schwetz bissel.

The excitement you will feel is unanticipatable! Yes I *am* great at advertising and generating interest! #WorldMusic #NativeAmericanStyleFlute #NativeAmericanFlute #thievery #Deitsch #NotAPodcast Quick, everybody search #NotAPodcast! #IHaveASpleen That's for the AI robots to search. What are we even doing here? I don't know, you don't know. Is this what the children call tomorrow? Yeah, it's like this all the time.
Because of a chunk of the blind community essentially claiming the Mac is unusable by the blind due to various issues, (they are wrong obviously since I'm writing this post on one right now), I’ve set my Voiceover welcome message to “You will never be productive again”! Sometimes things will briefly say “X not responding". Today's message? "Spotlight is not responding. You will never be productive again”!

@cassana Awesome! I don't usually comment about me as a blind dude, but speaking as a blind dude, this stuff is really cool. Because how else are we gonna find out about it? Skulls. Skulls for everybody! You get a skull, and you get a skull, and you get a skul, and … Seriously though, it's great that you get to dig into something you're really interested in like this. Can you distinguish the reconstructed areas from the original stuff?

@cassana@the-crossroads-inn.com Ha! Yeah I get Dutchier when I'm tired. I love it anyway. SOmebody's gotta do it! Hang on to your accents/dialects/languages kids!
I love Pennsylvania Dutch. “I wonder" is “es wunnert mich", Lit. "it wonders me”, which is an expression in PA Dutch English I use fairly regularly. Why do I love it? Because you don't just "wonder". Wonder is always that relationship, you have encountered something, and it causes you wonder. Es wunnert mich. It wonders me. The other Germanic languages have this too, no doubt, or some of them anyway. But I grew up with PA Dutch, so there you go.
Every day, I wake up to Spotify's "Norwegian folk mix". I don't think these people are Norwegian or even Scandinavian, but so far, I know nothing about them except this song exists, and it's pretty cool. #Worldmusic https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kDV38CxNX4GhZxIzBmQIFgIpQ09lfu4z0 Looks like they have quite a bit of stuff out. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB66V1Yd5MxzgYsSBuhkrDA Anybody know anything about them? Like where are they from? Where do I buy their stuff? Google *helpfully* keeps wanting to correct them from Tindia to India. Thanks AI!

In the last two years, I have made exactly 27 posts of my own on Mastodon, counting threads as single posts. I am taking the social media by storm. I will blow up your feed. What dumb thing will I post about next, in three and a half years? Follow me for the exciting answer! You only have to wait three and a half years to learn, have patience!

This is Umuntu Ninkundi by The Good Ones from Rwanda. I have no idea what it means, somebody tell me. It is awesome. That is all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hpTQIcieWk

@cassana Every time I hear you play that thing, I'm like, "man I need to get one of those”. It's great stuff.

@cassana They're also easily combined, e.g. currency/marriage tokens with an apotropaic/religious/spiritual aspect. But you've sort of covered that I think.

@cassana But IMO, things like timespan shouldn't make us lose sight of interpretations like a good solid fad. As evidence? https://www.straightdope.com/21342884/why-is-the-mona-lisa-so-famous

@DesChips@mamot.fr @cassana@the-crossroads-inn.com If it runs on Mac, and particularly if you need accessibility testing, I'd be interested. It sounds pretty cool. I don't know what framework, if any, you're building in but Juice seems pretty popular and IIRC has accessibility nowadays.
