@NSmolenski well shoot, this is a beautifully-written thought…! haven’t seen this topic (which I love—culture, celebrity, spectacle, self-monitoring, etc) framed quite this way before! 🖤
tonite, happiness is: a couch, a cat and ‘a hunter-gatherer’s guide to the 21st century.’
thanks @HeatherEHeying & @BretWeinstein for the book I can’t put down. 🥂
@annehelen (the fact that this was phrased in "years" means I'm an outlier: every 6 months or so o'er here. pillow has a big job to do -- soon as a pillow gets mushy, it gets bounced!).
@La__Cuen Was a huge (unapologetic) fan of My Dark Vanessa (by Kate Russell). Now I just gotta teach myself to take the aspirational portraits while reading....!
@davidgura I’m guessing regional accents might have a lot to do with preference! Realized I do pronounce it “an istoric” and to keep the sounds open (“a historic”) FEELS choppy and difficult to my mouth.....like verbal gymnastics! west coast accent, here.
FUN debate in this thread.
I’d guess regional accents have plenty to do with the strong preferences here.
I prefer “an historic” since I prefer an almost-absent “H” sound. sounds more like “an istoric.” rolls nicely off the tongue.
