‘Waffle’ the noun and ‘waffle’ the verb are not etymologically related.
The noun is related to the Old English ‘wefan,’ which means “to weave.”
The verb is related to the English ‘woff,’ which means “to yelp.”
FWIW: we never waffle on eating waffles.

You probably learned about homonyms in school: words that are pronounced or spelled the same but differ in meaning.
bear (animal)
bear (carry)
But did you know there are actually two kinds of homonyms: homophones and homographs.
Let’s dew this.

There is a reason why working families are falling further and further behind.
The cost of housing, health care and other basic necessities are rising much faster than wages.

Republicans and big insurance companies like to call Medicare for All “radical.”
What’s so radical about having a universal health care system like every other developed country in the world?
The American people deserve a health care system that actually WORKS.

Our health care system is broken.
We need to end the disgrace of being the only major country not to guarantee health care for all as a human right.
We must pass Medicare for All — legislation that I will be introducing next week.

It’s incredibly rare to find a ‘cranny’ without a ‘nook’ before it.
If you 'hunker’ you’re probably going down. Same with ‘batten’ but add some 'hatches.’

You only hear ‘ulterior’ when it comes to motives.
If you read ‘lo’ you’re probably about to ‘behold’ something.
‘Echelon’ seems to only be at one level: the upper one.
If you’re confronted by ‘asunder,’ odds are it’s been ‘torn.’

Writers, you might be struggling rn.
Math might help.
No, seriously.
If you write 300 (around a page) words a day, you will have an 80k book in 267 days. Less than a year.
If it's 200 words, it will take a little more than a year.
Doing it slowly is still doing it. 💪

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
