United Auto Workers sit-down strike (1936)
this strike won them a 5% pay increase and the right to talk during lunch, in case you needed a reminder that if capital had its way your worklife would be entirely dystopian
This seems topical again.

my number one woman behavior is saying iâm fine with any pronouns and silently ranking people in my regard based on what they do with that information
This is George Costanza behavior
GEORGE: she heâd me!
JERRY: exclusively?!
GEORGE: the WHOLE evening.
JERRY: and this is the girl who had ACAB Land Back Fuck TERFs in her profile?
GEORGE: i told you, jerry! i told you that was a huge red flag. all performativity, no understanding behind it.
JERRY: i just donât get it, who hears âany pronounsâ and doesnât even throw a they into the mix?
GEORGE: cis women on tinder, apparently!
KRAMER: *barging in* george! howâd that tinder date go?
GEORGE: terrible!
KRAMER: i warned you! jerry, i warned her, i told her âkeep to hinge and her, thereâs nothing for you on tinderâ and did they listen?
JERRY: xe didnât listen.

Japanâs indigenous people â the Ainu  â were once in danger of dying out as an ethnic group. In the past they faced assimilation policies by the government. But today, many are striving to help their culture live on.
The word for ârecogniseâ is derived from the word for âsomebodyâ.

A new study of how tone languages are sung has implications for the way humans manipulate and adapt the sounds of their language to artistic expression. The study, 'Tone-tune association in Tommo So (Dogon) folk songs,' by Laura McPherson (Dartmouth College) and Kevin Ryan (Harvard University), will be published in the March 2018 issue of the scholarly journal Language.
in light of google being a piece of shit with its image search, im gonna plug ecosia, its a search engine that uses ad revenue to plant trees and restore watersheds, AND they have full view images :~)Â
I was told recently about a school that was shamed into changing its school motto. The motto was âI hear, I see, I learn.â Nothing wrong with that per se. Unfortunately the motto was in Latin, and the Latin for âI hear, I see, I learnâ is âaudio, video, discoâ.
What the fuck thatâs the best school motto ever change it back
I started Hebrew, which is why Iâve been dead on this blog, but I donât think I can ever properly convey to you guys the sheer cultural whiplash of spending years learning Japanese from Japanese teachers and then trying to learn Hebrew from an Israeli
Japanese: you walk into class already apologizing for being alive Hebrew: you walk into class, the teacher insults you and you are expected to insult her back
Japanese: conjugates every single verb based on degree of intended politeness, nevermind keigo and honorifics Hebrew: Someone asked my teacher how to say âexcuse meâ and she laughed for several seconds before saying we shouldnât worry about remembering that since weâll never need to say it
Japanese: if you get one stroke wrong the entire kanji is incomprehensible Hebrew: cursive? script? fuck it do whatever you want, you donât even have to write the vowels out unless you feel like it
Japanese: the closest thing there is to âbastardâ is an excessively direct âyouâ pronoun Hebrew: âbitchâ translates directly
i love ubc bc not long ago someone graffitied âsocrates was a bitch and so was descartesâ on the wall of the arts building and thats what uni is really abt

On this day in 1869 Dmitrii Mendeleev sketched his first draft of the periodic table.  While Mendeleevâs version remains the most common, alternative arrangements include circular, cylindrical, pyramidal, spiral, and triangular layouts.  Indeed, Edward Mazurs chronicled over 140 types in his seminal work, Graphic Representations of the Periodic System over 100 Years! Which one gets your vote?
