Year 2 of Lockdown, Day 94

And I don't want to amplify them, BUT. From The Irish Times:
GB News, week 1: It takes until Tuesday to go full wingnut

Daily Dimash: My Swan
Can't think of a clever way to link things together today. So you get a 'random' song, but one of the most melodically beautiful and heartbreaking. You might not know it, but you need a sad Kazakh love song with swan imagery in your life, trust me! (For those who have read my Seeker 'verse, this song has now been added as part of the story of Alex/Allison, more info under cut.) There are many other performances, some with subtitles (as well as an official music video) all of which I'll post it under the cut as well as other performances) but live performances are always better with Dimash, and this one is just... *waves hands* No clever vocal acrobatics, just an incredibly moving song. As one reactor put it: When he performs live, he has a remarkable way of reaching through the moment.
My Swan/Aqqúym (Arnau - Nur-Sultan, 29.06.2019) [I am so sad this has been taken down. It was gorgeous and he got the crowd to sing along...]

All of you have seen cave art, right? Either sketches or photos in books or online. If you're really lucky, maybe you've been in a cave yourself with a flashlight or something. But is it possible that the way we look at cave art today hides a key aspect of the art? 🧵
