@canion @burk Being a Things user since the early beta days, I still can wholeheartedly recommend it. Its minimalistic design makes it perfectly adaptable to one’s own workflow. (Provided you don’t want to use it with a team.)

@toddgrotenhuis also pretty easy to make!

@hollyhoneychurch great colour explosion!

@Alligator Ha, I’m sure that would’ve been a great format too! Especially since the interviews seem to be just transcripts of in-person conversations. Nevertheless I can still recommend it. Great personal insights in all kinds of aspects of sound art.

@agundy mini harvests are the best!

@Miraz Beauties indeed! Love their cute name, also. On the Dutch Wikipedia page, I see they're called grijsrugbrilvogel (grey-back-glasses-bird) 👓🐦

@ajennische Apparently, Wikipedia has an excellent page about all kinds of aubergine salads! 🍆

Salată de vinete (Eggplant salad) or simply vinete is a Romanian, Moldovan and Hungarian mashed eggplant salad made of grilled, peeled and finely chopped eggplants, sunflower oil and chopped onions. The eggplants are grilled on an open flame until they are covered with black ash crust. The crust is cleaned off and the remaining cooked eggplant is mashed with a blunt, thick wooden cleaver (knife) on a wooden platter (popular belief has it that using a metal knife will turn the eggplant flesh black, before stainless steel blades, but also because cutting through the seeds is to be avoided). The eggplant mash is mixed in a bowl, stirring continuously, with sunflower oil, chopped onions and salt. The mix is beaten vigorously.

@Thedimpause @toddgrotenhuis @hollyhoneychurch It tasted delicious! I actually prepared them for my Romanian sister-in-law (during our first family reunion dinner in over a year..)! She made a traditional Romanian aubergine salad with them, with onions and olive oil as the only added ingredients. The smoky flavour added some divine sweetness and bitterness to it! (Wanted to take a photo of it, but the salad bowl was empty already! 😀)

@mariovillalobos Question: how do you keep up with all this kind of research that’s being published, since this particular publication was only 4 hours old?

@mariovillalobos wow, love this kind of research. Bumblebees are such fascinating creatures!

@mellowdave Love this quote!

@sku_b I have to admit that it sounds equally good with other genres!

@bsag that really sounds like a magical experience!

@jayeless yes, it’s a harsh reality out there sometimes! They really have to earn their spot. But together, they’ll manage. 🙂

@manton @adders Yes, on the second try I was also more successful! Will report if I find more glitches.

@adders @manton I had the same thing, micro.blog imported only 3 books (of around 100). The 4th item in the .csv didn’t have an ISBN, so maybe that stopped it from importing the rest?

@manton Having our own little bookshelves seems to be a very natural addition to the already great feature set of micro.blog, thank you for this! By the way: since it's still in beta, what's the best way to give feedback on this? I assume not over here as a reply?

@manton I would love to check out this feature as well!

@hollyhoneychurch congratulations 🥳

@TheDimPause Ah…. there it is, right in front of me: “Brewed in Ellon” 😂. I love Scotland by the way, in 2003, we had one of our best holidays ever!

@cliffhouston I can totally recommend it! if you happen to find out the country of origin, let me know. Couldn't find it on the label (which had a lot of japanese text).

@manton just filled in the survey with some time slots. It’s in the middle of our summer holidays though, so chances are I can’t make it.

@MDonaldson Wow! I attended a live audiovisual lecture in Amsterdam a few years ago, but this is just as good, if not better.

@manton 👏👏👏

@jean What a great plan! I hope it will be a truly global gathering.
