exactly how cognitohazardous has the concept of the arrow of time proven to be

it's nate! @natescape.bsky.social · 4h

The past it seems to me is not something beyond us, but is something present with us; time is an arrow but it doesn't tick from left to right it pierces down through all of our times in one vast instant. The past is always about the future.

My ACTUAL kingdom for the ability to have a priv account, because actually all I want to do on here is complain about inconsequential shit

This is probably a niche thing, but one thing Tidal does way better than most is credits - assuming the artist has properly filled it in, it has really nice clear track-by-track credit breakdowns (surprisingly helpful to me, as a working folk musician)

I don't want to overindex on 'good and bad' (I'm mostly just venting!) but yeah, I find a lot of music streaming to be pretty frustrating for various reasons.

Tidal is better than most, and is usually where I start when I make my twice-annual "what should I use" circuit

My kingdom for a Spotify alternative that actually works well, as a piece of software (this particular instance brought to you by the Qobuz sign-up/download flow being apparently broken in a few different places)

Interesting, and makes him even more legible to me!

Strongly agreed. My history with it has been of people very concerned with the details of devotion and very little will to actually protect the weak (especially and particularly children). Hugely destructive!

I would've had the same association - I think growing up, the Presbyterians we would've been in community with would have been Reformed (conservative) which is, as it turns out, not the majority position.

Now when I do worship it's with quakers; very easy to find solidarity with your point!

Anna Tsing really cooked here

(from The Mushroom at the End of the World)

Excerpt from Anna Tsing's "The Mushroom at the End of the World"

"What we have is mushrooms, that is, fruiting bodies of underground fungi. The fungi require the traffic of the commons to flourish; no mushrooms emerge without forest disturbance. The privately owned mushroom is an offshoot from a communally living underground body, a body forged through the possibilities of latent commons, human and not human. That it is possible to cordon off the mushroom as an asset without taking its underground commons into account is both the ordinary way with privatization and a quite extraordinary outrage, when you stop to think about it. The contrast between private mushrooms and fungi-forming forest traffic might be an emblem for commoditization more generally: the continual, never-finished cutting off of entanglement."

I was told straightforwardly at multiple points at my rural central PA fundamentalist elementary school that Catholics are not real Christians (and yea, this guy is Presbyterian, but so much of their belief system is symbolic it feels like the distinction hardly matters)
