Year of Wonder: Classical Music to Enjoy Day by Day | Clemency Burton-Hill

Today is St.David‘s Day in Wales,a day of traditional celebration. This Welch song was first preserved orally (music) . In 1784 it was written down in sheet music & in the last half of the 19th c. Lyrics were added by J.Hughes. It‘s hauntingly beautiful, transcends time as all parents of all specious watch their children thru the night to keep them safe. https://web.archive.org/web/20110727053819/https://www.madog.org/dysgwyr/caneuon...

One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This | Omar El Akkad

pick

I have so much I want to say about this, but I‘m alternating between rage and grief, so I‘ll settle for this. Part memoir, part history, part journalistic reporting on current events, this is a concise damnation of Western imperialism, particularly the pervasive Islamophobia and unwavering support for genocide. If it doesn‘t make you mad, you aren‘t paying attention. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

SconsinBookyBadger Adding this to my book wishlist 📚 5d

DGRachel @SconsinBookyBadger I don‘t think you‘ll regret it. I listened to the audiobook and ordered a hard copy from my local indie so I‘ll have it even if digital items disappear… 5d

TheBookHippie Did you see this. I just want to say to you personally that I condemn it. https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/26/world/trump-promotes-gaza-plan-ai-video-intl?cid=... 5d

DGRachel @TheBookHippie Yes, I did. When I think I can‘t get angrier or sadder, he does something else so morally bankrupt that proves me wrong. 5d

JamieArc The tagged is my next audiobook. Perhaps something to put on your list if you haven‘t read it yet.

Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning

TheBookHippie @DGRachel I grieve so deeply. Women and children on both sides have suffered and died horrifically- because of men‘s decisions and immense greed. I digress. Nuance, compassion and empathy seem to have vanished. … 5d

TheBookHippie @JamieArc Same issue here in the US -there is no culture war, they are creating it. It‘s a class war and Allll of us TOGETHER need to be one and fight back. Divide and conquer is the oldest trick in the book. 5d

Suet624 This is on my wishlist though I know it‘s gonna be a tough one 5d

DGRachel @JamieArc Thank you. I will definitely add it to my Libro wishlist. It looks like a good perspective to explore. 5d

DGRachel @TheBookHippie So true. Thank you for your thoughtful words. 5d

BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie That video… 🤬 wtf? 5d

TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB It grieves me so. 5d

BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie They‘re doing exactly what they like and laugh about it. They don‘t feel any responsibility towards the people or the world, they are just playing their game and get alway with it. It‘s disgusting. Sorry @DGRachel to rant in your post. I am so shocked by it all. 5d

DGRachel @BarbaraBB Rant away. The depravity, callousness, and audacity are overwhelming and honestly, it brings me a modicum of comfort knowing I‘m not alone in my grief and anger. 5d

TheBookHippie @DGRachel ♥️ 5d

TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB They are doing what they said they would do. I‘m more angry at the people who voted him in with glee. 5d

dabbe #ranttime!!! #resistance 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 5d

Singout Stacked and on hold! Thank you for the passionate recommendation. 4d

BarbaraBB @DGRachel @TheBookHippie 💝 Take care. There are a lot of people who didn‘t vote for this bunch of scary and stupid billionaires. Stick together and hold on to the dialogue 4d

TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB ♥️ 4d

bthegood @TheBookHippie @DGRachel they are doing exactly what they said they would and now some who voted this group in are having buyers remorse - really!!!!!!!! What made anyone think this would not be the outcome!!!!! I hope the midterm elections get us back on track.

DGRachel @BarbaraBB thank you. @bthegood I follow a woman on threads who works with a lot of MAGA men in a factory. She posts about the conversations she has with them, exposing the lies they fell for and how she‘s slowly getting some of them to see the light, so to speak. I will never understand voting for him, but I‘m grateful for people like her that can take MAGA to task in an effective way. It gives me a little hope. 4d

bthegood @DGRachel 🙂 👍 4d

Leftcoastzen This has been on my radar for a bit , hope to get to it soon. Love all the rants ! 3d

YEAR OF WONDER: Classical Music for Every Day | Clemency Burton-Hill

This morning‘s piece is from an album,The Blue Notebooks, by Max Richter, of protest against the invasion of Iraq, a “meditation in violence” & at the general “ futility” of war. #resistance
Thank you ever so much @AnneCecilie @Lcsmcat for posting about this book.

https://youtu.be/ZI-s-FEvNG4

Lcsmcat I‘m glad you‘re enjoying it! It‘s become our morning routine, which is a calming and strengthening way to start the day. And I often choose my Spotify list during the day based on that morning‘s piece. 5d

AnneCecilie I‘m also glad you‘re enjoying. Unlike @Lcsmcat I‘m also listening after work, especially the days I‘m in the office. And you‘re a great way to relax after work 5d

quietlycuriouskate I'm reading/listening along, too, with my breakfast. Aside from Bach and Allegri I think today's is the only piece so far that I already had in my Spotify library. 5d

kspenmoll @AnneCecilie @quietlycuriouskate @Lcsmcat Woke this morning to my son asking for this book & finding the music for us. I cannot thank you all enough. ❤️🎶 4d

Lcsmcat @kspenmoll ❤️ 4d

AnneCecilie @kspenmoll That‘s so sweet 4d

quietlycuriouskate @kspenmoll Oh, I love that! ❤️ 4d

I Cheerfully Refuse | Leif Enger

pick

I wonder if this novel would have hit me quite like it did if I'd read it before January 20, 2025. Because right now it feels practically prophetic. But in addition to being prophetic, it's also a beautiful story of persevering through hardship and maintaining integrity (defined in this case as acting in alignment with one's core values) in a world geared towards profit and self-interest at all costs. #tob25 longlist

ImperfectCJ Photo is a different Great Lake than the story is about (Michigan rather than Superior) in 2013. 5d

The Winemaker's Wife | Kristin Harmel

pick

Our book club selection and finally they chose a book that I hadn‘t read or heard about!😂. Set in present day and during WW2, Liv finds out about her grandmothers past secrets. The fight of the French to keep the Germans away from their champagne fields. Very good read. The French resistance and the history of champagne.
