I’ll never forget in law school when I got my first legal writing assignment back with the note “don’t try to sound like a lawyer” because I had used the word “heretofore”
Ma’am, I’m not “trying to sound like a lawyer” - I read too much Jane Austen and this is how I talk now.
@yunuskocyigit1@anumness When I was learning subtraction in 1st grade at 6 years old I asked my teacher what would happen if you reversed the problem and subtracted the larger integer from the smaller, she told me “you can’t do that” and I said “I’m pretty sure you can, it would just be negative”
If it’s any consolation to President Biden, I’m fairly certain that the 23rd century equivalent of Lin-Manuel Miranda is gonna write a Tony Award winning musical about his life? #BidenIsAGreatPresident#BidenSpeech
@notcapnamerica Not at all the point but I remember when they introduced those semi-sheer ones that were sort of a deep tan tone that actually work with both my white winter color and brown summer color and it made my mixed heart so happy.

@AuroraO83@ask_aubry I was just thinking men my age (Elder Millennial) and up who only hit on young women in their early 20s are in for a RUDE awakening. GenZ (thankfully) wasn’t socialized to politely placate their BS. And good for you!
@myronjclifton Your parents actually liked each other and weren’t MERELY attempting to ensure dynastic continuity…?
Or they were overly cautious about childhood mortality rates for their historical and geographical context. One of the two. 🤣
@Needle_of_Arya My (white, from ND) Jones Gen mom recalls watching news coverage of police turning fire hoses and dogs on Civil Rights protesters when she was ~7. She’s been liberal her whole life. Which isn’t to say she doesn’t have blind spots, but when she knows better she usually does better
@flutenstrings@ask_aubry Oh, I know. Bc I HAVE genuinely considered it. If it were only a matter of deciding “I like this religion’s philosophy the best” I’d have already done it, but I have ADHD and love pork so it’s been hard to find the motivation to sustain the necessary level of commitment. 🧡
