Frozen Doors and Football
Local weather at noon 13 January 24 A funny story before I get into football… We’re currently dealing with a bit of a cold snap in Oklahoma. Youngest Daughter headed out to work Saturday morning when the temps were in the mid-teens. She came back in a moment later and said her car door was frozen shut. That’s not that uncommon around here, especially if the temperature has dropped quickly…

idk to me it’s just like,,,black people coined the phrases say her name and rest in power for a reason and im gonna focus specifically on say her name because it was black women who wanted to call attention to the systemic violences that we have faced that have resulted in the deaths of so many of us which were left unrecognized. it was specifically addressing an issue within the black community wherein black femicides (particularly at the hands of the police/intimate partners) were not given the same spotlight as the murders of black men. we are always forgotten in life and in death and that is part of why the violence against us has been permitted to continue to the point that we are at a significantly higher risk of homicide than any other race. and the statistics are even more grim for black transwomen and femmes. for every nonblack victim of transphobic violence that gets recognition in their horrific death, there are 10 black victims whose names we never know. like that is the whole point of the phrase this shit is life or death for us and we know that the moment race is decontextualized from the nature of the phrase then that is when we are once again forgotten. but yall are acting like we’re trying to start genz tiktok lingo/aave co-opting discourse.

people without an internal monologue will never know the epic highs and lows of watching the same guy a lot in a short amount of time (youtuber/streamer/shows and movies etc) and then having your internal monologue sound like that guy for a bit

The Complicated Reality of Felony Murder: Unraveling Injustice
How about that Rose Bowl, eh? I spent a big chunk of the game going mildly crazy. From that first almost-interception on the opening series to the muffed punt near the end of regulation, I could barely stay in my seat. Don’t try to reach me Monday night. I will be glued to the TV for the championship. I almost scored tickets via the Veterans Ticket Foundation (affiliate link) in a lottery, but…

while im at it neopronoun opposition is weird to me as a swedish person.. the whole debate is so anglocentric that they assume every language landed on the same solution they did, to reuse a plural pronoun as a gender neutral one and then they think any other solution is absurd or unheard of. what do you mean you just made another pronoun up you cant do that!! etc
coz its like here in the 2014 the swedish academy accepted 3rd person pronoun "hen" (as opposed to hon/han) like officially into our word list after it gained some popularity in the 2010s. like that is a NEOPRONOUN that someone just Came Up With in like the 60s and then people just started using it and now its just a recognized part of our language. sure we could've also reused our plural pronoun "de/dem" as a gender neutral one but we just made up a new one instead. and to like imply that mainstream use of a neopronoun is just UNHEARD OF and that neopronouns is something the mainstream could NEVER GET USED TO EVER!!! is... your perspective is very limited to the english speaking world is all i can say
