today we learned: the "do re mi" syllables are not, in fact, a weird solely-didactic thing, but actually the names of the notes in basically every romance language
and that this is incredibly confusing to people who learn music in a romance language because in those settings "do" always means "C", but in english it just means the tonic of whatever key you're in
Character design thoughts
@Felthry has a character named Aditi, and I had some thoughts on an outline for his brother. I'd love to see it expand this into a full character, if it wants to!
Name undecided -- Darius?
Aditi's older brother
Transmasculine nonbinary, he/him pronouns and masc presentation
Doesn't bind; actually likes his bust
Taur
Moderately well off, but not rich
Occupation-- Woodworker? Probably has a machine shop
Interested in spellcraft, but as a hobby not a career
Estranged from most of the family, but very close with Aditi
The Cool Uncle kind of guy--are there any kids he's a Cool Uncle to?

Still feeling proud of this and wanting to show it off. -w- Rosemary had some thoughts on Aditi's brother too, let me find and boost that too
Character design thoughts (long) (Extra tidbits)
Aditi owns and operates a bakery in the closest thing his small college town has to a downtown, and lives in an apartment above it.
She's very close with his older brother, a tauric transmasculine demiboy.
The best way to describe her mental situation is one consciousness spanning two minds. She can have two completely separate trains of thought at once, or devote his full attention to each of two different things at once. Another person(s) with exactly the same setup could well have developed into two distinct individuals with a very strong mental link; Aditi just didn't.
Though he has two names, and responds equally well to either, he prefers Aditi in general.
out of curiosity though, if anyone here knows, what is considered the "gold standard" among cheap synthesizers
Oceans existed before they were named. Why must your gender be any different?
Be as free as the breeze, and as relentless as the sea.
Labels come later, if you wish it.
politics of a famous musician
apparently Igor Stravinsky was extremely leftist in his youth, got _extremely_ fascist after the october revolution and basically venerated mussolini, and then moved to america and became a leftist moderate in the 1940s
I don't know what to think of his music in light of that
ukpol, voting
If you are in the UK and eligible to vote please make sure you are registered! If you know others who might not have registered (just moved house, just got old enough to vote etc) please remind them, and help them register if necessary.
Deadline is tomorrow for council elections, and 7th May for EU elections. And of course given the current political situation we might have a general election, too...
Everyone's sharing the close-up image of the black hole itself, which is neat, but here is a zoomed-out view of the gigantic mass of space-stuff that it is busily consuming: http://chandra.harvard.edu/blog/node/719
