The expression “call a spade a spade” comes from the work of Plutarch, who originally wrote “call a fig a fig & a trough a trough.” Figs & troughs were crude slang for the Vulva, so what Plutarch meant was “call a c*nt a c*nt”. When Erasmus (1466-1536) translated Plutarch’s work & changed it to a garden spade to avoid embarrassment.

There are situations I encounter where I think, "I am manifestly more skilled more than this peer."
You know how much that's helped? Only insofar I can adapt and tailor my message and training to them.

Burnam’s Inside wasn’t just a set of funny songs, it was a dark, introspective, warning. The best way to combat this stuff is having hobbies and interests. Reading, birdwatching, drawing, music, *anything*. People without any particular interests are doomed.

Parler sent an email to all users with 300+ of their verified users CC'd instead of BCC'd
Now hundreds of people are replying and everyone has access to the personal emails of many verified users and Parler investors

Brock Turner is now living in the Dayton Ohio area on Acorn drive.
He IS frequenting bars in the area. DO NOT LET HIM LEAVE WITH AN INTOXICATED WOMAN.
INFORM THE WOMEN OF WHO HE IS. INFORM THE BARTENDER, BOUNCERS.

So, most people are unaware that One Hundred and One Dalmatians, the novel, has a bonkers sequel called The Starlight Barking.
It has never been filmed. It can never be filmed. It is unfilmable.
Come with me on this journey. (1/8)
