I was just joking about that. Everything in Pickering is named after a dead British man so nobody has any trouble. Also there are no tourists in Pickering. Why would anyone go there for fun

Nuclear: it's pronounced nucular.

Also we can already tell because you don't glow

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Of course the bigots and fascists don’t want you to study English.

The enemy of fascism is:
Close reading
Clear communication
Questioning the meaning of what you read
Accurate spelling & grammar
Thinking for yourself
Creativity
Understanding the mechanics of argument
Imagination
Enjoyment
Joy

My cameo on Dark Web this week was found out by my friends across the ocean haha. Fun to send something in earnest (while in the middle of moving), kinda forget about it, and then get jumpscared by your own work?? Rob was really cool and nice about it which made me happy 🥹

OK I'm not a big Wheel fan, but have been watching with my folks because it's on before Jeopardy, and on Monday a clue was PAJAMA PANTS but someone guessed BANANA DRESS. And we all died laughing. The following day Vanna wore a yellow dress and said it was her banana dress. Respect.
