A moment of silent appreciation for the #UnsungHeroes of the Internet this evening. Among their number, this man on YouTube @who thoughtfully filmed a video showing How to pack up a cheap Lidl pop-up tent. L There are 45 comments below expressly thanking him and 605 👍 on the video. After 3 separate attempts over 6 weeks and 45 minutes of swearing this evening, I can finally add to that number.
#Hero.

Underground fungi absorb up to a third of our fossil fuel emissions. They form symbiotic relationships with plant roots and help them take up carbon dioxide. Without them, the world would be much warmer and less green.

All too often the true progenitors never get their fair shake from history. We keep hearing about Bill Haley, Elvis and others being the early pioneers of #Rock&Roll when in fact charismatic Sister Rosetta Tharpe was arguably one of the true uncontested creators of it.

Rock&Roll Hall of Fame belatedly inducting her in 2018 when they were forced to is embarrassing, but a good example of years of selective cultural institutionalized racism. #blackmastodon #blackfriday #unsungheroes #bhm

Unsung Heroes by Ravenbanner:

"You are a Goblin and, with your Brood companions, wander through these mysterious regions living strange and terrible stories. Your curiosity will lead to explore these weird ever-changing lands and to face sneaky and dark threats or the dangers of a world at the dawn of time."

Random observation: if you want to understand how good the #supertramp drummer was, play a bunch of drumcovers of supertramp on YouTube. A lot of them are so off, and only because bob siebenberg was such a genius.

Happy Birthday 🎂 Melba Liston (b. January 13, 1926) a noted trombone player and arranger with an astounding career that included playing with many of the #jazz greats.

It obviously must have been a pretty lonely path, women were seldom seen in such roles and had so many difficulties getting gigs during those years. Take a moment to peek her incredible discography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melba_Liston

Here is a splendid shot of #electronicmusic #pioneer Daphne Oram working her tape machines at the #BBC Studios in the early 1960s (and yes, Delia Derbyshire is also going to get the treatment!)

This #colorized picture is a part of an #ongoing series of pictures of #unsungheroes of 20th Century music, refreshed and reprocessed at high resolution for a more lifelike appearance.

Here's a lovely publicity shot of supremely talented Dorothy Ashby standing in front of her harp.

She was responsible for much music, and had a string of albums, many of which are still reissued and quite eclectic.

She was also asked to record for many #studio dates including some work for Stevie Wonder. https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/ashby-dorothy-1932-1986/

Shout out to the mods on sfba.social, and in general to all the mods in all the federated servers.
You're doing a terrific job, I remember when I first tried Mastodon a few years ago, I would run into a lot of rubbish and scammy posts. Now it feels a lot cleaner and I'm finally confident to recommend this to family!

This is a shout out to pharmacists, who don’t often get recognised as part of your health care team, but who are absolutely vital in long term conditions. Mine is wonderful & has dug me out of a prescription hole this morning-which the Gp is unable to recognise.She is ace. #pharmacists #unsungheroes #longtermconditions
