Correctly attired for editing next weeks episode with @dianaegarvin on some fascinating aspects of coffee history. 
A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.
Looking back through some posts On This Day, I came across one about a book and CD called Jane Austen Sings the Blues. The book is still around, but I can find no trace of a recording of the accompanying interview. Maybe @GrantStovel at @ckuaradio knows where I can find one

@jeremycherfas Hehe, you should have seen my Ergodox after several months of cats sleeping on the keyboard!

@bsag Heh. Much cleaner than my old Das because the keys are not enclosed. So just tipping it up and giving it a good shake gets rid of a lot of detritus.

Great fun chatting with Amalia Sacchi for @festletteratura about food, agriculture and the climate crisis, although ashamed not to be able to do it in Italian. It will be streamed on 8 September at 14:10 CEST.

In case you thought "organic" meant anything more than another way for industrial food to profit with no regard to any costs other than purely financial, Marion Nestle takes apart Danone's decision to abandon small organic dairies https://
Looking at an old post of mine from this day in 2007 and wondering, does anyone, anywhere, host a blog carnival on any topic these days? Time for a revival?

What’s a blog?

@jeremycherfas I remember blog carnivals. Those were fun. And I think a revival might be interesting.

@arush Yeah those were a lot of fun. Along with blog memes, does anyone remember those?

@arush That was before the word "meme" was coopted for something else.

@jeremycherfas Those, along with blog memes. Remember those?

@jeremycherfas That was before the word "meme" got coopted.

@jeremycherfas Not that I'm aware of. Although blog challenges are still a thing.

@ladyhope This is true. And I'll stop now before I find myself at the end of a "Get-off-my-lawn!" type of post.

@ladyhope @arush i could certainly resurrect one of the memes I remember from back in the day and tag the two of you. In fact two, rather than five, which is my recollection, would surely be more manageable. I’m travelling tomorrow, but watch out.

@jeremycherfas Ooh! Great question! I loved blog carnivals.
, Aug 08 2021 on micro.blog
@jeremycherfasThat would be epic!!

@jeremycherfas Mostly I remember the weekly and/or daily ones, though. Those were fun. Tried to start a few myself. They never really went anywhere.
, Aug 08 2021 on micro.blog
@arush Lol those posts are fun hah.
, Aug 08 2021 on micro.blog
@jeremycherfas That would be fun!! I'll have to find some other participants. I'm not sure if I know any still blogging lol.

No favourites from Marion Nestle: Unethical food marketing ad of the week: infant formula, organic no less.

Funny. I read Peter's post today and was so taken with it that I immediately started the process myself, before reading this post and seeing that Ton had inspired Peter.
Like the year, what goes around, comes around.
