whistling
started doing this a lot at work lately. very fun, perfect thing to do when i’m waiting for stuff. i can’t like whistle a tune or anything it just sounds like a bird chirping cause i can’t sustain it as i suck the air in which is just how i learnt to do it. found out today via the linked wikipedia page, there used to be an international whistling convention and silbo gomera is a whistled language used in la gomera, one of spain’s canary islands.

bisonspider very beautiful point on how language has to adapt to its terrain be it digitally which we are very familiar with but also physically

If you can’t whistle I feel bad for you. If I could whistle 24/7 I would but I think my mouth would get tired
