“. . . not religious, but very spiritual.”

My husband and I started calling each other “Babe” ironically, but now it’s starting to become real and I don’t know who we are anymore

I agree. They are overused by RWNJs vs actual liberals.

Damn. I am zombie-ing people all day long and never knew it. Can't stop. Won't stop.

Since I grew up on a farm with dairy cattle, it's an image I can't get out of my head when it's used.


I used to edit history textbooks in grad school. There is at least one Asian language where "promulgate" must be the most direct translation of some legal concept, and many of our authors were first language speakers of languages like Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. There was so much promulgation all over the place, and it really was just what the authors meant.


Surely not! Have you ever seen an animal milked? I'm not talked machine milking. I'm talking grasping teats with your hands and squeezing in a rolling, downward motion. Ita pretty specific image and not one I'd associate with most Asians unless they're yak herders.

Most people don't do anything they don't want to do unless they face serious consequences. And they will do some really horrible stuff unless they face serious consequences.


Oh, now you’ve made me write ‘influencer.’ Who makes up these words and why do we all start using them?…
