As a reader, do you prefer when people give you random books as gifts, or do you prefer getting a gift card to a bookstore (so you can pick the book)? Just curious.
Inside a 250 year old French Violin. Photographed with a Medical Laparoscope adapted to a Lumix G9ii Camera. A 1770 violin by Augustin Chappuy. #music#art#photography
@postfilm That is totally awesome! At first glance, on this tiny phone screen, I thought it was a photo on an interesting underground vault or room of some sort. Gonna have to check this out on my desktop monitor! Very cool!
@Likewise@bookstodon Just continuing my read through of what I call my, 'often quoted, never read', reading list. Finishing up Josephus now, probably going to move on to Xenophon next.
just trialling a new prescription of monthly multi focals after working with a contact lens specialist following a recent eye test. (Previously, I used dailies, from an older prescription.) So far, so good, though, oddly, better in the afternoon and evening. It was so good to find someone who specializes in contacts and is willing to work through issues with older eyes.
@Enema_Cowboy@Likewise@bookstodon Pretty solid idea! My library is fairly robust so there's not a lot I'm looking for that I can't find there. But when something does come up I just go looking for a real copy.
A high-five to everyone who chose to decline an invitation to an office party last Thursday and who opened up slack this morning to dozens of messages from sick people because it turned into a super spreader. Moxxi is proud of you.
Tai Pei is an economic powerhouse. It's a relative pariah in regards to its sovereignty. It's a world leader in microprocessors and semi conductors but for whatever reason American wrestling decided in the 90s that scene from Rambo with glass taped fist fights is the #taipeideathmatch and the name's stuck ever since. Here's Lady Blakely vs President Hawkins in a Tai Pei #deathmatch#wrestling#blood#indiewrestling#killdozer#photography
What are you reading this evening? I’m still reading David Copperfield and also in the middle of Little Monsters by Adrienne Brodeur. #amreading#photography#fediverse@bookstodon
