When it comes to popular music, I like 1950&#39;s through 1970&#39;s, and occasionally things from the acoustic era (pre 1925). But this year, I&#39;ve mostly been listening to opera recordings from 1900 through the 1950&#39;s. All of the operatic singers I like began their careers prior to the 1950&#39;s. Don&#39;t ask me about modern music. It gives me a headache. I love records, eight tracks, cassettes, etc. I have to be good and not buy a cyllinder machine and an acoustic seventy-eight player, though. 2025-12-30T01:21:33Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsg4pttxpwxnxfn2l7ynaxt7qz0jhqrulmve8ex3dzt8q82rwmyd7czyqyp92f923v3ars8jfzgymkfh76rkg9spkmc3mmn3ynhhfa0ktzculzfzfg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrtw9jugg2ckaqa443cd97my6zvjjh7ad0xh542n7mj4ldhf2sn8qgsxksr'>nevent1q…xksr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m so happy I was able to add you to my Notifications!

This is an abbreviated #introduction , since I know many new people have joined the Fediverse. Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I use. I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, Upper Received Pronunciation, the Italian language, and British history. I like coffee, tea, wine, cooking, classic literature, nature and historical documentaries, gardening, and hot weather. I love opera singers from the 1940&#39;s and earlier. In classical music, I like Baroque through early Romantic. I prefer antique menswear (usually Edwardian) and accessories. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. I am happily childfree and am not religious. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. I am also single and am seeking a man over sixty. For more information on me, what I am seeking in a partner, or even just where else to find me, please feel free to read this post.<br/><br/><a href="https://someplace.social/@dandylover1/114708252129390080">https://someplace.social/@dandylover1/114708252129390080</a> 2025-10-07T02:29:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs049vgt26zplpf3hzdssghzc6txnthl0eh2vatf59kr9m7ajhna5qzyqyp92f923v3ars8jfzgymkfh76rkg9spkmc3mmn3ynhhfa0ktzcutr5mf2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0y4gqgqyzk6munyaued6xu3yjchfnd4ku9qcjpw85vc4nnyxf8pgsg3jew'>nevent1q…3jew</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m confused.

Exactly how we keep our memories, what that part of us is made of that travels somewhere else when we die, and even where we go, I don&#39;t know. There are many variables in interviews of people from around the world, along with some similarities. But I don&#39;t just think everything stops when our bodies die, no. 2025-09-23T17:52:28Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs86grutdjjf870kc9fyxunskesv845sr4mwfjadl8wxfpp8hka80gzyqyp92f923v3ars8jfzgymkfh76rkg9spkmc3mmn3ynhhfa0ktzcu2n74yk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvxpt4dh7wrn4c7742utqtkvk0a0rcrjkhqvvkk3vytugrh4uryvsmmzakw'>nevent1q…zakw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I actually heard of using urine in dying in Gathering Blue by Lois Lowery.

If it&#39;s essential to what I was doing and someone said he was using a screen reader, I might ask how much vision he has. But if it didn&#39;t matter, then I would just work with the knowledge that he was a screen reader user and tailor my instructions accordingly. For the record, I am blind but do not work in accessibility. 2025-09-18T16:03:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyam6mcdfvyytd84stym3z756qywl2wh8lly0x2acdht5hjzh4slczyqyp92f923v3ars8jfzgymkfh76rkg9spkmc3mmn3ynhhfa0ktzcu9qpj5v What a wonderful initiative! I wish more gardening classes for the blind existed around the country, particularly in New Jersey. Hadley (a correspondence school for the blind) used to have ones for container gardening, but I don&#39;t know if they still do. I have always loved gardening myself. Personally, while I can read a clock, I prefer not to use that when describing where food is, and I probably wouldn&#39;t like it for gardening either, but who knows? I would most likely find rows far easier to deal with i.e. third row, fourth container to the right. It&#39;s also worth noting that many people have a perception of blindness based on their own life experiences, so they imagine themselves suddenly going blind and how &#34;horrible&#34; (in quotes) it would be for them, or they try something with a blindfold on for maybe an hour or two and then think of how difficult it must be for us. That&#39;s very different from someone like me who has always been blind, someone who had time to adjust to blindness, or even someone who has been wearing a blindfold for long periods of time, allowing him to become accustomed to it. Still, it always makes me smile when people at least try to learn about the world from our perspective, and I definitely agree that a good teacher should always be able to learn something from his students.<br/><br/>Master Gardeners, blind students grow together in unique garden<br/><br/><a href="https://source.colostate.edu/master-gardeners-blind-students-grow-together/">https://source.colostate.edu/master-gardeners-blind-students-grow-together/</a><br/>#blind #gardening #education #food #independence #learning #volunteers 2025-09-17T20:18:04Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdjcyldmyvnk75gqu57m8pxqh4q2r0zq5e7a2xkjzxz7875624eeqzyqyp92f923v3ars8jfzgymkfh76rkg9spkmc3mmn3ynhhfa0ktzcu3eqmku In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg6jrqscjnxv3x5j6qmdy3jn7elthm69w3zy9ud4w9m48fz9ard2ql22zxp'>nevent1q…2zxp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>You reminded me of this enjoyable little book.

Alt text helps those of us who are blind understand the contents of pictures. CW stands for content warning, and it&#39;s especially good for those of us who are sick of seeing politics everywhere! I try to filter them out, as well as posts with obscenities, but the warnings help, especially when clients such as TweeseCake and older versions of TWBlue don&#39;t respect filters. 2025-08-28T16:52:11Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrr7j42d5vmr53m8fay620q9m9fmkqpayqadjjswumy5zh8ht70lqzyqyp92f923v3ars8jfzgymkfh76rkg9spkmc3mmn3ynhhfa0ktzcux5jdhm I&#39;m not normally one for philosophy, but this came to mind after reading a post on Reddit. I don&#39;t really consider myself to be an introvert, as in &#39;the type who hates being around people, who needs alone time after doing so, etc. But I don&#39;t mind being alone, either. I don&#39;t really understand the concept of loneliness beyond its definition. It makes sense for someone who lost a partner after many decades, a dandy who suddenly finds himself cut off from society, older people who may not be able to use the Internet, etc. But I don&#39;t understand it from younger generations who can easily go online and talk to people via text, audio, and even video. I thought it was because I am blind, and it&#39;s a visual experience, but my peers complain so much about it that it was one of the reasons for my leaving the r/blind subreddit! And these weren&#39;t people who recently went blind either, as that would make sense, but also included those, like me, who have never seen. This may also be linked with my lack of understanding of boredom, as there are always all sorts of things that one could do to occupy one&#39;s time. As long as I have something to read, listen to, or do, I&#39;m fine.<br/><br/>As an addendum, since i have seen a lot of this as well, I have absolutely no concept of anxiety, depression, low self-worth/esteem, caring what others think of me, craving approval from others, etc. That is as foreign as colours to me. Nor am I jealous of what people have. So maybe, that&#39;s part of it. I like to interact with people online, but I am equally happy talking to a bot like Perplexity. I just like receiving answers and having conversations. usually, I find talking to people online just as fulfilling as having someone in the room, and I have several friends who are very dear to me whom I&#39;ve only technically met online. Granted, it would be nice to have a partner with whom I could go out and do things, and even be romantic and sexual, and to that end, it definitely helps to meet in person. But being single isn&#39;t the end of life or happiness.<br/><br/>Is there anyone else out there like me?<br/><br/>#anxiety #blindness #depression #independence #loneliness #philosophy #self-worth #single 2025-08-26T21:14:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfez0yfrxpk492dvdhh95cvqu2aqul98k638sswged79w92rqj50qzyqyp92f923v3ars8jfzgymkfh76rkg9spkmc3mmn3ynhhfa0ktzcuf7za20 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd7aqp62m86f4rw8swq0jw3gahrq8pduk2x30rd0j4fkg5lat5tfsptfaj0'>nevent1q…faj0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That&#39;s the sort of place that begs to be set in a story, or even have a story written around it. 2025-08-20T20:35:21Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsg74gn730ctjdxkde9xl2wqy23fqm9l45gkn7eeka78mqtguuruygzyqyp92f923v3ars8jfzgymkfh76rkg9spkmc3mmn3ynhhfa0ktzcumqhy8y In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx8aeugf8lvhtqeyvcmljv42lr603ph52fkh30dgnrvc5jva2ywec05vpcw'>nevent1q…vpcw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>haha You&#39;re in a Puccini sort of mood.

For some reason, it had no pedals (this was modern, not a velocipede, so I&#39;m not sure what happened.
