I was so excited to learn how many Spanish words are derived from Arabic. Did you know azúcar comes from as-sukkar? Other cool ones: algodón/al-quton, álgebra/al-jabr, hasta/hatta, tarea/tariha. And for Palestinian liberation: sandía/sindiyyah. It makes me want to learn Arabic even more.

Last year, I tried dating men briefly. Was horrified to learn that many of them will go on talking for ages without ever asking a single question in return, and they'll think the date is going great? And this is something they're known for/people have written about extensively??

The Democrats vote as a caucus under the leadership of Schumer. They decided collectively who the 8 would be to vote yes and who would vote no to protect their seats.

Can’t help wondering what it is about seeing the Epstein files that will magically change people’s minds. We’ve already seen it. We know he’s a pedophile and perpetrator of sexual violence. The birthday book. Ivana. Ivanka. E Jean Carroll. Katie Johnson. Maria LNU. At least two dozen other women.
