Scratch Pad: Monolake, Algernon, Soundscape

I do this manually at the end of each week: collating most of the recent little comments I’ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad. I also find knowing I will revisit my posts to be a positive and mellowing influence on my social media activity. I mostly hang out on Mastodon (at post.lurk.org/@disquiet), and I’m also trying out a few others. And I generally take weekends off social media.

Writing-wise, I had a quite productive week, which may be reflected in my simultaneously limited amount of social media posting:

▰ It’s a Monolake Cinemascope sorta morning, but then again when isn’t it?

▰ There are good guitar class days, and what I have come to think of as Flowers for Algernon guitar class days

▰ Just re-upping my recent article, for JSTOR Daily, about the origins of the contemporary use of the word “soundscape,” including an exercise in listening attentively.
