DC is almost 50% Black. He's a racist and pissed he has to be near Black people
Trump's talk about DC being "dirty and disgusting" in today's press conference reminds me how often Trump seems to hate the country he governs (rules?)

Genuinely cannot think of a task more designed to erode national guard morale and make them fucking hate you
Wait do I have this right—the express purpose of the National Guard deployment is to round-up the homeless?

I so appreciate this essay. The language of chronic illness is problematic at best and often impossible. I’ve written about this from the perspective of someone with metastatic cancer. Even in remission, as I am now, there is no good language to express the sustained weirdness of my body.
If you have a complex chronic illness, you're probably familiar with the experience of a doctor telling you that your test results are normal, while your body feels like it's full of noodles and static electricity. As a linguist, M Corvi is looking for words to measure sickness. bit.ly/45a6lj2
