@auscandoc @randahl Me too! I'm a choir director, much of my work is on my feet.

@randahl Argh that would make me boycott them but Eccos are the only shoes that actually fit me.

@auscandoc @randahl Yes, that's what I do too. There used to be an Ecco store in town where I went whenever they had a "two for one" sale and get 2 pairs of the same.

@goatsarah ... and then you suddenly need at least 3 new bras.

First Google Translate wants me to sign in elaborately, 2FA and all, to translate a single sentence. Then when I nope out, and try again a minute later because I do want to translate a sentence, it lets me in just like that. WTF? (Also I turned 2FA OFF because I was fed up with the constant nagging to get at my own stuff in my own house with no security risk whatsoever, but G pushes it on me ANYWAY. WTFF?)

No, fingers, it's not "musecore". I'm not that hip. #MuseScore

"Bebådelsen" (The Annunciation) by Sigrid Blomberg (1863-1941) #ArtByWomen

@craigmaloney Most of the Dutch Orthodox church books were made on an Atari ST. (By an abbot well into his eighties for most of the work.)

@halla and me on the doorstep of the kitchenware shop: "do we go in?" "nah, we don't really need anything -- well, let's go in anyway"
so we came out with a green Le Creuset oven dish, a turquoise Le Creuset spoon-holder, a large deep stainless steel frying pan because the one that had served us 30+ years had developed a hole in the bottom, and two cut-glass whiskey glasses.

@craigmaloney They're not in the choir because reasons (one reason being that I'm the boss and I don't want them in it, they're too dominant for me to handle. I don't want every practice and every service to be a battle of wills.)

Dear person who isn't in the choir but can't help singing along:

(1) I understand that you can't help singing. I'm made the same way.
(2) I do mind, but I don't object.
(3) But please don't fill in missing parts, because this music is DESIGNED for incomplete choirs and if it's different from what we practiced I get confused. If you must sing (and again, I understand that you must) sing a part that's already being sung, for instance the alto part because I know you're an alto.

@HauntedOwlbear @dessertgeek I dislike the term too. Calling creative people "content creators" rather than what they are (artists, video makers, writers, musicians, whatever) reduces them to making filling around the ads which are the companies' main payload.
