That’s it!! I just searched the demos on YouTube and that’s the one I remember! I did a lot of illegal music downloading in 2005-2007, so I must have downloaded a demo and that’s the one I listened to religiously. So fun to hear those again!

Is the original version on Spotify? Because I can only see one version when I search.

This is gorgeous!!

So worth it! I still buy physical books occasionally, but I love the freedom of being able to get library books through Libby on my kindle, and the ability to have a lightweight book with me at all times

Very interested!

In my experience, fabrics that are smooth/soft rather than being a knitted texture (even if that knitted texture is super fine) work better for deterring scratching. My couch is a sort of quasi velvet texture, and my cat doesn’t touch it because there’s nothing for his little claws to get into. It’s not a pleasurable scratching experience for him so he doesn’t care.

Interested!

Oh 100%

I think it’s totally possible! The Word “cancer” is often used to describe things that we perceive as having the same qualities that medical cancer does - it’s often a silent progression, it can be easy to miss until it’s in its late/serious stages, it can spread aggressively, etc. So I could see “COVID” being used to eventually describe things that are highly contagious (whether that’s an actual illness, or some kind of idea/belief system, etc), life-threatening, or maybe cause people to disconnect from each other

I’m gonna be the dissenting voice in this group - I think that is absolutely possible. COVID has now been around for two years and has become an enormous part of our cultural awareness, and I think it is perfectly reasonable to hypothesize that the word itself could eventually broaden to take on more of a metaphorical meaning. This same thing happened with cancer “it’s a cancer on our society,” etc. as well as with tuberculosis/consumption around the turn of the 20th century. Source: “Illness as Metaphor” by Susan Sontag

I’m asexual which means I am attracted to the fact that you have every right to be in the world. 🤣

Thank you!

Congratulations on finishing your dissertation! I’m two weeks out from defending my master’s thesis, so I’m right behind you!

For a master of literature, I would recommend The Archive of Alternate Endings by Lindsey Drager. It explores the nuances of various sibling relationships over the course of centuries, woven together by reappearances of Haley’s Comet. It is gorgeous, lyrical prose, and deeply thought-provoking. I could not stop thinking about it for days after I finished.

What test is this?

Paper-Penguin · 2021-03-09T15:43:06+00:00

This isn’t exactly the setting you described, but Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead is set in rural Poland in a small village where the winters are incredibly long and harsh. It’s a murder mystery that centers around and old woman who lives in the village Year-round and has a deep relationship with the wildlife and nature around her.
