[...Mein Ratschlag, sowohl für Musikfans als auch für Redaktionen: Offen sein für alles, neu, alt, Mainstream, Indie - es gibt immer schöne Perlen zu entdecken. Ich höre jetzt als nächstes das "neue" Livealbum von Liam Gallagher - in der Hoffnung, dass viele alte Oasis-Songs drauf sind.]

Another #goodread... Black By Design by The Selecter's Pauline Black. Not just for the 2-Tone fans, this excellent book is a potted social history of the latter half of the 20th and early 21st century told via Pauline's experiences - and all the things wrong in the UK. Not always easy reading but what a strong, talented woman.

A lion's share of the people @kissane surveyed responded that they left #Mastodon because they got yelled at, scolded and lectured when they were here. One major source for this appears to be unrealistic expectations for the use of content warnings.
I have been lectured for CWs & for posts that contradicts an "accepted" narrative. I feel surprisingly horrid after each lecture 😅
I like its decentralised nature, but it can get toxic here.
