@benhamill hah, beautiful anecdotes.

Hello Trunk admins! I just added a little blurb to the Podcasts list explaining that the list is for the podcast makers and reviewers, not for the podcasts themselves because I got a request from a podcast account. Too bad there's no podcast directory (just like there is no blog directory, of course). Oh well.

@wasamasa Ah, well perhaps there’s part one of my problem: anybody can follow me. 🤔

@jofazepa Yes, looks like it. 2010.

@jofazepa "Em 2010 foi reeditado em edição especial o álbum original remasterizado com Raridades e 15 gravações inéditas." Now I'm curious!

@jofazepa It sounds like it's the same recording on Best of Fado 1952 to 1978 which I was just listening to.

@jofazepa Listening to it now. 😭

@jofazepa So beautiful!

Time to get into the mood for the upcoming trip to Portugal... Amália breaking my heart even though the sun is shining outside.

Ai Mouraria
Da velha rua da Palma
Onde eu um dia
Deixei presa a minha alma
Por ter passado mesmo ao meu lado certo fadista
De cor morena, boca pequena, olhar trocista
Ai Mouraria
Do homem do meu encanto
Que mentia
Mas que eu adorava tanto
Amor que o vento
Como um lamento
Levou consigo
Mas que ainda agora
E a toda a hora
Trago comigo
…

@jrss Oh, totally. No need to use a picture of your real face. But just something... something for my mammalian brain to connect to.

@natecull the quality of the comments on Charlie's blog amaze me every single time

@nuhn block them? (not really)

@deshipu Oh deshipu, why did it take you so long to respect wasps and dogs?? 😭 I guess I was much more cautious as a kid. Or my parents didn't encourage me to engage with the world outside, or something.
@griffinkate

@anne That is what I was taught as well. @griffinkate

I'm afraid to admit that I'm reading a wonderful book about bees, wasps, bumblebees and ants with wonderful macro photography.

Well, it looks like we have over 80 respondents and about two thirds have been stung by wasps. I am at a loss. In what sort of wasp-free bubble have I been living? I love seeing them gnawing at my wooden balcony table as they try get enough pulp for their nests, I don't mind sharing a little snack with them, I'm only afraid of accidentally swallowing one, I'm calm as they fly around my face… but apparently that's not what a lot of people experience around wasps. 😮
@griffinkate

@gwmngilfen Gaaaaaaaah! I can understand killing cockroaches and bloodsuckers… but not waaaaaaaasps!
@griffinkate

Being followed by a faceless and silent avatar is creepy.
Here’s my suggestion for newbies: set a picture and write at least one, preferably four posts that tell us something about yourself, about what to expect.
If you follow me, I will look at your profile and maybe I’ll follow back. But I’m not following a faceless and silent avatar.
Now... how to get this message out to newbies... 🤔

@aidalgol @griffinkate Haha, wow! Lucky nobody got hurt.
