@kathleenbot Do you know about making a stylesheet? You write down the words/phrases with weird spellings or alternate forms and you use it as a reference document.

@jzgervais @sarapod07 Nancy Wilson of Heart wrote the songs!

@KEBRhoades @kathleenbot People went out just to see Lincoln's funeral train go by!

[Sarah Nathan @editorsarahn]

@kathleenbot Also that OutKast's "B.O.B." predates the Iraq invasion by years (though admittedly not the Gulf War).

@kathleenbot Van Morrison is the one who sings "Brown-Eyed Girl," the guy from the Doors (Jim Morrison) is the one who sings "Light My Fire," and Morrissey is the one who sings "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want." Hope that helps!

@ElSangito We weren't allowed to have a Gay-Straight alliance because of the pushback the name got from adults. It had to be called "Tolerance Club." Early/mid-2000s.

@sklanfer Literally every time I see one of these new laws I'm like "oh, we're codifying what the status quo was when I was in high school, I see."

[Sarah Nathan @editorsarahn]

@tressiemcphd I think when you push back, you mess with their sense of self as people have figured "it" out (whatever "it" is that day), and cognitive dissonance sets in. They think, reality is so complex and messy and you want to challenge the little certainty I have? You're the rude one.

Haven't even had my coffee yet and I'm already learning something.

Back when Black singers were still mostly church-bred, it was common to have a gospel/inspirational leaning track on an LP, or as my friend calls it, "tithing on the album."

For Day 6 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, tell us a favorite inspirational song on a secular album.

[Sarah Nathan @editorsarahn]

@kathleenbot Yes! The color on Young Hickory's logo.

[Sarah Nathan @editorsarahn]

@BiblioDeviant And now that I look at it again, it's "Faemina" for "Femina"--which would be a reasonable alternate spelling.

[Sarah Nathan @editorsarahn]

@BiblioDeviant /raises hand I think I got this! It looks like "Femina dux facti," which is a rearrangement of "dux femina facti," "the leader of the actions was a woman," a partial line from the Aeneid that's been used as a motto in many places.

[Sarah Nathan @editorsarahn]

@mpershan @paranoiacs Walk Like A Man is strong evidence for that reading.

[Sarah Nathan @editorsarahn]

@NightValeRadio @nightvaleradio can I get a RT? I have a ticket I unfortunately can't use anymore if anyone wants it. DMs are open.

[Sarah Nathan @editorsarahn]

LA-area @NightValeRadio fans, anyone want to buy my ticket for the 5/4 show at The Lodge Room off me? I can't go anymore and am selling at cost ($36). DM me if interested.

@kathleenbot That cape Anne Baxter wears is why I was disappointed with literally every place that wanted to sell me a cape to go with my wedding dress. Give me this or gtfo.
