@westernunion2k I work in a bakery where every single thing in the display case is clearly labeled, and yet somehow I spend my entire fucking day deciphering what 'that one' is referring to. I can't see shit from my side of the counter, please make a minimal effort and not waste everyone's time.

Can @Spotify get it's Wrapped algorithm together enough to not add comedy tracks to my Top 100 playlist? Yes I listen to a lot of standup, that doesn't mean I want it popping up while listening to music <3

Never been a huge @lorde fan, but Te Ao Mārama makes me so happy. I'd love to hear some #māori opinions on it!

@HadasKotek No one language is 'the most difficult language' to learn. It all depends on what language(s) you already know, and what's easy to learn for you might be really hard for someone with a different linguistic background.

Jeff Bezos makes some $2,537 every second of the day.

Got that? That means Jeff Bezos — the richest guy on the face of planet — makes nearly 3x more in one second than the median worker in this country makes in an entire week. That is morally obscene.

Tax the billionaires.

Beautifully written @wodieskodie , and absolutely true. As a linguist and an outsider in love with everything Scottish and particularly Hebridean, this is a very important lesson to remember about language and cultural maintenance and rehabilitation.

I have a rule against reading two books at once so I can't dig into this right away but if I CAN'T wait to!

A third school found the remains of Native children buried under their school.

Think about that. Hundreds of bodies of children are being found. That’d be massive news if it wasn’t Native kids. Where is the outrage? Where is the support? Why doesn’t anyone care?

All I want for #pride this year is for those two particular high school teachers of mine to admit they were/are in a relationship.

@Micbar0417 I learned in Overleaf! It's a really simple interface and their help pages are great for basics!
