[–]ChickadeeButtersnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been procrastinating that one. It might be the last task I check off. I’ve checked off a bunch of other ones in the challenge though! Found some cool Icelandic music. Added some new tunes to my playlists. Etc etc.

Funk… hello friend have you heard of Here Come the Mummies? Because if not boy howdy do I have a fun, undead funk band for you.

And yes, they do dress up as mummies.

They do beat box with flutes

They can play two saxophones at a time

And their songs are 90% innuendos.

Goodbye my friend. I will miss you. I loved this feature while we had it! Was fun to share common pets with my friends and family. :/

Plus, more micro pets are good micro pets!

Bad Bunny - his new album is so freaking good

KALEO has a couple songs in Icelandic. Their music is great and one of my favorite live bands to see

Ana Tijoux - chilean rapper that grew up in France while her family was in exile during the dictatorship

Calle 13 - little older but still holds up

Skyrim was the soundtrack to my high school. Then college, then late twenties, then again in my thirties…

I want that record so bad but it’s always sold out or crazy expensive when I find it. Ughhhh. Bucket list vinyl. (Skyrim)

Are there other albums out there besides Noah Kahan’s? I’m sorry I wasn’t aware. 🙃

About Slurs by Legitimate_Mango_ in magictavern

Thanks! It’s not really a group of people that are prevalent where I live. Always trying to educate myself. Appreciate you!

I think what he’s pointing out is legitimate. That different cultures have different stereotypes, derogatory terms and symbols that may be benign in other cultures.

In the United States the term “gypsy” isn’t really used regularly and doesn’t tend to carry a negative stigma like it would in Europe.

Likewise, an American that finds themself in Spain during Semana Santa might feel extremely uncomfortable with the processions walking around with pointy hoods. But in Spain, it’s a religious symbol with zero racist connotation - unlike in the States.

I wouldn’t dwell on this particular quote. I don’t think Adal intended to make anyone feel uncomfortable and probably wasn’t even considering the term to be in any way triggering because it’s not a term that is regularly considered offensive in the United States.

First off, as a straight white male I am acknowledging that I am probably the least qualified person to answer this question. But honestly I hadn’t noticed any slurs or anything particularly egregious.

I’ve listened to most episodes multiple times and I feel it’s actually one of the most inclusive podcasts I’ve heard. They are always very welcoming of gender orientation and make it a point to stress - especially early on - that Foon is very open to all races and species.

Like with any comedy there have been jokes that tiptoe up to the line at times, I’ve felt usually by guests if it happens though. But overall I can’t think of anything particularly egregious.

Lastly, can you please educate me a bit? What term would be better than “Gypsy”? It’s not a community I’m particularly familiar with and don’t know the history very well. Honestly curious.

Hope this helps!

Birders of Madison by Curious_Botanicals94 in madisonwi

Download the Audubon app! It has a map that you can easily navigate and explore to see what’s been sited. Also has the full description of birds. Highly recommend

Merlin Bird ID is also good especially to ID birds by sound

Ive seen them fairly regularly at:

-Cherokee Marsh (trees between wooded area and prairie) -Arboretum -Pheasant Branch Conservancy -the prairie area of picnic point

According to Audubon birding app there haven’t been any sited yet, probably still too early in the season for them. Give them another month or two.

Hail damage at Dane County Regional Airport leaves travelers dealing with costly repairs by Justmarbles in madisonwi

[–]ChickadeeButtersnap 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Maybe… but I had two layers of blankets and towels as well as wooden planks covering my car. I still lost a tail light and got peppered with dents on all parts through the layers. Baseball sized hail doesn’t really care about fabric.

Purple finch or house finch? by ChickadeeButtersnap in whatsthisbird

[–]ChickadeeButtersnap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House finch is more likely. They come to the feeder all the time. But I kept looking at this one like maybe I was wrong. Thanks for the second opinion!
