Of course what’s dissolved in water makes a difference to how food and drink taste. Ask anyone who has ever had a proper New York bagel.

Are people talking about Zootopia 2??
Took the kids to see it today, and we loved it! Wondering if it’s getting hate for being too “woke” or if that aspect of it managed to fly over certain people’s heads so it’ll still be a blockbuster.

Random language learning thought of the day:
I really like how poetic Japanese went with their days of the week. Unlike Chinese where it’s:l “Weekday 1, weekday 2, etc.” they went with “Moon day, fire day, water day, wood day, gold day, ground day, and Sun day”
Aren’t languages fascinating?

“Kids, you should be thankful that our tradition is so lowkey and you can stay in your pajamas and ignore the parade from the comfort of our home… just think, there are thousands of people whose tradition it is to stand out in the cold and crowds for several hours!” 😜

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans 🥰
Husband doesn’t understand why they opened the Macy’s Day Parade with Cynthia Erivo singing “a song no one recognizes”
So I had to give him a long rundown of the history of “Feeling Good” from 1964 and Nina Simone. Forgive my uncultured spouse. 😜

Deep dive into the baby naming and political polarization 🤯
Baby names aren’t just personal choices; they reflect culture, geography, gender, identity, and as i've been investigating, politics too. I’ve been analyzing 50 years of U.S. baby naming to see how they map onto political polarization in the U.S.
Here’s what I found 🧵

She held on so long. Glad she lived to see some of the baby steps being made towards remembering the terrible history that they tried to erase. RIP Viola Ford Fletcher
As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Hope you are enjoying a Facebook free day, week, month, year!
I suspect social media in general is contributing to all our depression and anxiety, so it’s a bit ironic to post about it on social media… maybe we should all go touch some grass. 😅

And then there was the body shaming. Give the girl a break.
Ariana Grande seems to have to speak out about this all the time. There’s no way dealing with that kind of negativity helps.

The mom chat had a lot of critiques of Wicked, but the main one was that they wished the romance scene was toned down for kids.
My take: Just because the movie is wildly popular with kids, does not make it a kid movie, nor were kids the intended primary audience.
PG. Provide guidance as needed.
