Artists pour their hearts and souls into an album. The idea that you can ‘get it’ on a single listen is an absurdity.

“What sort of music is this Dad?”
“It’s influenced by a lot of drone doom but they’ve really experimented with the instruments and feel of it. Almost like some of the ambient stuff”
“Oh right.
I suppose because it’s an experiment it doesn’t have to be good does it?”
Kids are brutal.

Spinsters’ Rock dolmen on the edge of Dartmoor for #tombtuesday More photogenic than some of the other cairns on the moors. Nothing is going to beat Down Tor though. Just me and the ponies and an all timer of an experience

Anything else w/ this much experimentally verified evidence tends to get thought of as "settled."
Weird how it's the science that consistently says "forcing a framework of means testing, the protestant work ethic, & punishing people for being poor is bad, actually" gets repeated incredulity & shock

A German experiment has found that people are likely to continue working full-time even if they receive no-strings-attached universal basic income payments.

I've yet to meet a stone circle without a desire line towards it, without the grass outside and inside of it wearing rings carved by the revolutions of lithic pilgrims. The Long Neolithic as a refusal to stop manifesting a sense of sacred on the landscape. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSundday

There's delicious irony in those lithic houses of the dead being part of why the Long Neolithic lives still. For these tombs are alive in our imaginations, alive in our papered tellings of history. A breathing presence in our stories of place. – Dr. K Brophy #StandingStoneSunday
