can't believe i haven't told you guys about my bell ringing lessons. i am learning to ring church bells. why? because it's sick as fuck. and also i get a lot of joy from being a dirty little sinner ringing gods doorbells

[patroclusdefencesquad]

the cafe i work at is part of my local abbey and the average age of the bell ringers there is about 70 so the head bell ringer dude is making it his life's mission to bring that down by recruiting the entire cafe. he also thinks i don't have a life (correct) and so decided i needed a hobby (correct) and now i pull a rope for an hour a week while gossiping

[patroclusdefencesquad]

also head bell ringer dude casually dropped one lesson that his ex wife stabbed him once, and then never followed through on that fun bit of information apart from to tell me they didn't get divorced until like 10 years later so. i also keep going in the hopes that one day he will fill me in on the rest of this

[patroclusdefencesquad]

genuinely he would do numbers on tumblr dot com he's wild

Sorry I just gotta

The art of change ringing is peculiar to the English, and, like most English peculiarities, unintelligible to the rest of the world. To the musical Belgian, for example, it appears that the proper thing to do with a carefully tuned ring of bells is to play a tune upon it. By the English campanologist, the playing of tunes is considered to be a childish game, only fit for foreigners; the proper use of bells is to work out mathematical permutations and combinations. When he speaks of the music of his bells, he does not mean musician’s music – still less what the ordinary man calls music. To the ordinary man, in fact, the pealing of bells is a monotonous jangle and a nuisance, tolerable only when mitigated by remote distance and sentimental association... His passion – and it is a passion – finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection, and as his bell weaves her way rhythmically up from lead to hinder place and down again, he is filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed.

- Dorothy Sayers, The Nine Tailors (1934)

Like everyone who accidentally absorbed it in the course of a detective novel, I’ve been lowkey fascinated by English change ranging for a long time, possibly because of this 90-year-old reference to THE RITUALS ARE INTRICATE. This whole passage is so funny to me that I practically have it memorised. Have literally tried to listen on YouTube to work out what the fuck the loadbearing Grandsire Triples are. You go OP have FUN

[ellensilica]

I DO THIS! we ring at 2 different towers (the only ones on this island) and one of them has the oldest set of change ringing bells in Australia and has lots of sepia portraits and panoramas on the wall. Usually towers have very interesting and tight staircases to get up to the ringing rooms.

Grandsire Triples is very much real but I've never rung it because we usually only have enough ringers for Grandsire Doubles. Grandsire is my favourite method actually - as far as I know it's one of the oldest methods & it's different from the others because there are two hunt bells but which ones they are can change depending on when bobs and singles are called.

triples - 7 bells because there are 3 pairs of bells that can swap with one staying in the same place

doubles - 5 bells (same as above because 2 pairs + 1 extra)

from 3 up: singles, minimus, doubles, minor, triples, major, caters, royal, cinques, maximus

(this is one of the things i love about bells - you get silly words to know)

sometimes ringers decide to ring for over 3 hours without stopping or repeating any sequence of notes. that's a peal! it's based on the time it takes to ring every order of 7 notes (7!)

A lot of bellringers are old and retired and can use html so there are some pretty good resources out there BUT they will be completely incomprehensible at first.

you can look at Dove's Guide to see if there's a ringing tower near you. England has an insane number of towers, the US has a few, Australia has like 60. pakistan has 1 apparently

you should be able to find an email address pretty easily & arrange to go and visit some bells. they are friendly (in my experience! it could be nasty sometimes i don't know!?)

also? it is SO mathematical and patterns-based and no-one's tried to turn me Anglican. the God lives in the numbers and nowhere else. highly recommend it if you like hanging out with old people

[ellensilica]

please look. does this make you insane look at it

do you find this beautiful and helpful

[storks-notlarks]

How cool. I'm reading The Nine Tailors atm and it's answered my (completely unasked) question about why English bell ringing is Like That (unmusical, full of maths).

In my town we have a nice secular carillon that the piano nerds can go and punch out their little classical tunes on (apparently it's set out like a piano but instead of a keyboard you hit the levers with your fist).

Haven't made it to the end of the murder mystery yet, but at this point convinced that the bells themselves are the ones killing people. Beautiful, terrifying, absolutely bonkers 11/10.

[storks-notlarks]

Omg you guys [spoilers below for The Nine Tailors]

I finished the book and um...

at this point convinced that the bells themselves are the ones killing people.

I totally called it. Those murderous, murderous bells.

in college back in 2018 i still didn't have a smart phone yet and they introduced DUO two-factor authentication and I carried one of the physical "clickers" because I couldn't use the phone app. I remember classmates being unable to participate in class or print assignments at the library even with school desktop computers because they left their phones ate home by accident or their phones died so they couldn't login to their school profiles.

professors started doing those kahoots quiz games for attendance points and I told them I couldn't participate because I didn't have a smart phone.

one of my professors scoffed in front of the whole class and said, "are you serious?" i said "are you going to pay for my data plan?"

he relented because he had to and every single day he had to print out a little physical quiz for me to take while everyone else did kahoots. it was so funny bc it was a lecture hall with like 150 students. he gave up after like 3 times and just counted me present.

at work i refuse to have a single work-related app on a phone they aren't paying for so they always have to order me the physical "clickers" for double authentication and they act like I'm pouring concrete in their shoes about it lmaoo

[wizardarchetypes]

at one job for a state forest my office was in the middle of nowhere with no wifi and no landline and they were like "we'll need to call you throughout the day about project updates" and i said "well then you'll need to install a phone because i don't have cell service out here" and they looked at me like it was somehow my fault. they asked me to change cell phone carriers.

[rackmount-official-my-ass]

Organizations need to provide the equipment they want you to use. Separation of work and personal equipment should be the norm, and the bar for exceptions should be set pretty high. I refuse to use my personal phone for corp work because they would then have 1/ access to my device and 2/ the explicit power to remotely wipe my personal phone, both of which are entirely unacceptable. This position is justified from standpoints of accessibility, personal economics, personal security, corporate security, and litigation preparedness.

Equipment includes clothes, by the way. If you need a uniform or personal protective equipment, even if it's just a black polo and slacks, these should be provided and paid for by the organization requiring them.

Please support this game! I've been following it forever and the developers obviously put a lot of love into finally repping my people as Not Just Generic Bad Guys To Be Slaughtered in QuickTime Events, but the unabashed horse girls we truly are. I really love how outspoken she is about representing proper care and compassion for these animals in the industry too.

My proposal for a terrible and inconvenient piece of dual theatre

Basically when the pieces interact, the curtains open and the two plays become one. This would be awful to time and would probably suck mad shit, however I think I should be allowed to try and make it anyway

[dwarvendiaries]

This would

A) Be a nightmare for stage manager trying to sync the transitions

B) Tech and effects would be crying pissing themselves trying to run two shows at once.

C) Adaptation. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern is about 2:30 hours and Hamlet in full is 4 hours but is usually abridged down to about 3. There are also lengthening and shortenings of scenes in Hamlet in R&G. Off-stage scenes need to be synced with on stage appearances.

I’m also legally unsure of how this would work??? To get this produced you’d probably have to prioritize Stoppard text at the expense of Shakespeare

I also agree that this is terrible idea that must be done

[morwentrouble]

agreeing w people in notes that the audience needs to be able to walk around between the two sides of the stage.

this would be a logistical nightmare and a brilliant theatrical coup, I need it thankyou

[bophtelophti]

I was literally in this in 2003!

We didn't just do it on opposite sides of a stage; it was in various rooms of a building that represented the castle of Elsinore (it was a church, but architecturally was a little castle-like) and the audience could walk freely from room to room to see what different characters were up to at the same time: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern fretting in one space, Hamlet monologuing in another, maybe Claudius and Getrude plotting somewhere else, etc. We cut most of the third act of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead because it doesn't take place in or near Elsinore.

I played Guildenstern. It was great fun. I learned how to fake-flip a coin so it would always come up Heads, just in case an audience member decided to get close enough to see them. (They didn't.)

It was totally a nightmare for the stage manager to keep everybody on track so that the timing worked out. I feel really bad for the actress who played Ophelia, since they did her burial scene outside (in Philadelphia, in December!) and she had to obviously be motionless the whole time.

This is a nice video showing an blind/invisible stitch, which is quite useful for repairing tears or finishing something (ex. cushion).

Also, that extra step for putting back the seam is really nice.

[hollowedskin]

I love Tumblr. I had to agree to see mature content before I could open this video.

But who among us doesn’t find a neat seam at least somewhat sexy?

Bro I fucking love the DB Cooper case nothing about this whole situation sounds real. None of the passengers on the plane realized they were being hijacked until the plane landed two hours after it was supposed to and the fbi showed up with suitcases full of money. The note about the bomb almost went unnoticed because the flight attendant thought she was being sexually harassed so she didn't read it. One of the main suspects was the first trans woman in Washington to have a sex change operation. A reporter who was so dead set on his suspect that he brought him to court was so upset about being wrong that he went catatonic and was treated with electroshock therapy and it WORKED. There's been multiple "I'm DB Cooper" death confessions. He never even SAID his name was DB Cooper. Either he got away with a million bucks in today's money and the most iconic and harmless crime American history or he impaled himself on a pine tree while falling a zillion miles an hour in the dark while clutching duffel bags full of cash and either option is equally hilarious. He wore a clip on tie. He committed an act of sky piracy. What in the fucking looney toons

[theblackparadeisdead]

HOLY SHIT HAPPY BIRTHDAY DB COOPER
