I have been somewhat obsessed with the phrase "In what scientists are calling 'pretty gay,'" for many years because of this ancient xkcd

When people get a little too gung-ho about-

wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?

ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.

That’s…wild. What was I talking about?

Unfriendly reminder that Israel is committing a genocide in order to inact their own type of manifest destiny on Palestine, and the US and others are complicit and guilty.

Do not look away. Keep standing up for Palestinians everywhere. Keep standing up for pro-Palestinian Jewish people who face harassment from pro-Israel Jewish people.

Palestine WILL be free. The trees will grow again. The people will laugh and sing. Palestine will be free. Palestine WILL be free.

As with the horse poll, please regard these options as sliders. The extent to which each one deviates from 1/6th of the total will determine the amount that canine aspect deviates from the "average."

I will draw the dog we make. :)
