One of my absolute favorites! It’s where I learned about basic color terms entering languages in a set order (why so many languages don’t or previously didn’t have a word for blue). A set of short essays full of interesting facts interspersed with memoir and flights of fancy

I object to this guy framing this as “the working class” though. If they owned a sawmill and employed 50 people, they were never working class. “Racists”, “idiots”, or “white people” would all have been a more accurate term.

Have you read The Anthropology of Turquoise by Ellen Meloy? There’s a hilarious section about historic paint names. ‘Skating’, ‘wireless’, ‘momentary agitation’

All I want is for one (1) tv or movie writer making a character a conservator to talk to a real life conservator long enough to internalize that we are called conservators and not conservationists. But I will nevertheless watch watch Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson read a soup can.

I’ve done that only to find them waiting for me, holding the door for an eternity

Holding the door for someone who’s a little too far away= you’ve inconvenienced me and made you thank me for it

This is Ashes, who came to my family when I was six. He loved this drawer of my dress-up play clothes. He was such a good dad to the three who followed.

Beautiful! My grandma’s needlework of the Kay Nielsen illustration is one of my most precious possessions

Thanks! Very curious what the Committee for the Preservation of the White House’s group chat looks like today…

I thought the White House was specifically exempt from that law though, am I wrong?

genuinely terrible winning, I would vote against them, but as it is, with three establishment dems on top, I kind of feel like low total votes is the only message that seems worth sending

I am looking forward to voting tomorrow for the criminal court clerk and the assessor. But I might break the habit of a lifetime and not vote for anyone in the mayor’s race? I always sneer at people who say, what’s the point, but really, what’s the point? If there was a risk of someone

I think this straightforwardly demonstrates that 20% of Americans are not listening, not thinking, have never examined their own views, like fucking with people who are asking them earnest questions, or some combination thereof, and this should be kept in mind when analyzing all political polling
