the weird propensity (böjelse) of burrow
to convert phlog entries to gophermaps
`prompts`[1] the plain text supremacist to re-invention
and that's clearly for another day
i have other things to ponder
but first a reflection:
yesterday evening, as i was tinkering away at my computer
my partner partook in a zoom seminar about horsemanship
it didn't seem very good and she repeatedly begun wording
frustrated remarks but abruptly interrupted them
as she noticed my focus was somewhere else and reconized
that the intended recepient of them was herself
an hour later or two, i ask her about it
it's corteous to end any meeting by asking the attendees if
there are any unanswered questions or if any new concerns
have come up for anyone, but not everyone is comfortable
being "that person"
during an actual meatspace seminar any voiced concerns,
questions or comments serve as space for human connection
after the seminar, on your way to the cloakroom, you grab
the attention of the person who had the courage to ask the
first stupid question, which lead the meeting in a more
fruitful direction. you can even stop and stand in line to
thank, query or insult the host/ess.
zoom meetings just close down, and you're left to your own
devices, pun intended.
