So, in the throes of my separation from my ex this week, I am having to salvage my books that got absolutely soaked. I opened my copy of Norse Mythology by @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com in hope of salvaging it, and got this page.
I love the Skrymnismal, so this is a hopeful sign 🥺

From a descriptive linguistic perspective, there is no "right" or "wrong" pronunciation, only pronunciation that is or isn't understood by whoever you're talking to.
Nobody ever pronounced a name they encountered in a book wrong. They just might have pronounced it differently to other people.

My favorite thing about having a broken cheekbone is when some rando tries to tell me to "turn the other cheek" I can respond with "what, so you can break the other one?" 🙃😂 I'm doing great, why do you ask?

Handwringing about "people" (read: women) being single always had an implicit "lower your standards" vibe.
Now the pressure to marry Trump voters has grown more explicit.
This is a terrible idea. Here's why it's good most young women won't date MAGA.

Hey media, stop bullying women who refuse to marry Republicans
Now the Washington Post has joined a campaign to shame women for having the bare minimum "no Trump voters" standard

When we warn the real threat of AI is how it’s used against people in the present, not the fantasies that some day computers might think for themselves, this is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about: health insurers using AI to deny care.

I learned about this because literally everyone who shared it was in support of him. It absolutely stokes the flames of racists but LeVaar Burton is a fuzzy bunny with a heavy heaping of rizz and a soupcon of swagger so if he bites you it's cause you fucked up not the other way round.
Once again: Moms for Liberty exists entirely so that white supremacists can violently follow them into community space, then pretend that their violence is "protection" of white women.
This right here is about deceiving people into believing the threat is real, racial, and comes from Black men.

Fridays for Future Germany is completely dissociating itself from Greta Thunberg because she let a Palestinian activist speak at an event.
Excellent work folks, you are doing a great job at demonstrating how not-racist you are.

An easy media literacy trick: if the headline features a passive voice about violence, the ones responsible for the violence were the police
