At the end of each week, I usually collate a lightly edited collection of recent comments I\u2019ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad. I tag on what books I may have finished reading. Knowing I\u2019ll revisit my social media posts serves, I\u2019ve found, as a positive and mellowing influence on my online activity. Some items\u00a0show up<\/a>\u00a0on disquiet.com before this post, in which case I don\u2019t repeat them. I mostly hang out on Mastodon (at\u00a0post.lurk.org\/@disquiet<\/a>), and I\u2019m also trying out\u00a0a few others<\/a>. And I generally take weekends off social media.<\/p>\n

\u25b0\u00a0I got the new China Mi\u00e9ville novel, The Rouse<\/em>, in hardback. I\u2019m wondering how the ebook distinguishes between the alternating color backgrounds of the pages, and the occasional typographical treatments. The audiobook appears to have two if not three narrators. (It\u2019s also almost 1,250 pages long.)<\/p>\n

\u25b0\u00a0Sentence I found myself writing this morning: \u201cI didn\u2019t buy much, just six books in an ongoing series.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u25b0\u00a0This is the dinkus that divides sections of chapters in the new China Mi\u00e9ville novel, The Rouse<\/em>. Also, the paper is bible-thin:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\u25b0\u00a0I accidentally moved my phone when taking a picture across the bay from the hills of Sausalito last night, and it was the right move:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

A couple friends, Ethan Hein and Rupert Lally, joked it looked like an album cover, and someone posted a rough draft<\/a> in reply. (Someone else posted their own unintended landscape<\/a>. I could swear someone mentioned it looked like an ECM cover but I can\u2019t find the post after the fact, such being the WWW \u2014 that is, the wild and wooly web. [Update: The quite observant ECM comment was from on Facebook.])<\/p>\n

\u25b0\u00a0That little bird-like beeping noise at the corner when the street light changes used to mean \u201cit\u2019s safe to walk\u201d but now it means \u201cyou can put down your phone because now you can walk.\u201d People don\u2019t look at the lights. They look at their phones and wait for the bird to tell them the coast is clear. (I posted this earlier<\/a>, but then wanted to mention a bit of chatter on Mastodon<\/a> as a result. Someone said: \u201cI work on a college campus and the students don\u2019t put their phones down to cross. They blindly listen to the chirps and walk while on their phone. It\u2019s truly astounding.\u201d Someone else: \u201cYou can thank blind people for that one!\u201d)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
