I just spent a lovely half hour on the phone with my mother. I really miss her, sometimes. I have a good one and I am grateful.
After seeing this episode whatever year it was that it aired, I started using this, and I'd forgotten until I saw the short today that I'd gotten it from BBT. "I'm sorry; did I start that sentence with, 'if it please Your Highness?'" youtube.com/shorts/Dh-iOU1…
The husband, as I've said, does not typically read my stuff, & I good w/it. It so happens, however, he got bored whilst driving w/o a podcast episode, so he queued up my podfic. He came home and said, "No seriously...let's get you the equipment to do this s- professionally."
I've been playing with new software and learning how to do things, and TODAY, I learned how to animate (sort of) using a map as the background for a new chapter in my podfic. As the chapter progresses, the map is updated, and it's a simple thing, but I had fun learning it.
If you don't find ways to pepper your vernacular with "hence, thence, and whence," what are you even doing? /claps hands sharply Get with the program, people.
There are certain songs that become iconic when they hit during big moments & this was one for my age group. I never heard a cover of it I didn't hate...until this one. It's magnificent. youtube.com/watch?v=-Q1LRM…
These are not the same, and English-speaking readers should at least be exposed to what the differences are.
EVERYONE still calls it Twitter. Honestly, I give side-eye to people who don't. It's like trying to tell Americans, "You can no longer refer to facial tissue as Kleenex" or Brits, "You cannot call your vacuum a Hoover." It will not stand.

I'm not going to repeat it or say who said it in an attempt to honor them. I just came here to say I'm so excited and ready to never insult my daughter. Like ever.
@AmysMargin You drew attention to their culture of origin. Part of right-wing propaganda here is that all sex crimes are committed by Muslims and foreigners. I was pointing out that this isn't a neutral statement in the UK. Might be in your country but not here.
there is nothing more valuable than your friend who will patiently dissect your complex stories and listen with rapt attention as you introduce new characters and remember past lore.
@AmysMargin These are typical British sentences and thirty years is a huge British sentence. Only mass murderers are sentenced to this long in prison. Plus, the last part of your thread would be considered as incitement here as most child offences are committed by white British people.
@AmysMargin Because I was just not wanting to have the conversation before we could actually have the conversation. I reached out after reading your thread to try and make it right. I’m really stunned to be in this situation. But I’m glad you posted what you did. /2
@AmysMargin Thanks for your feedback/perspective. I honestly had never thought of it this way. I recently did this to a friend and she was upset with my approach and it caught me off guard and I really didn’t understand her reaction 1/
@AmysMargin This has been an interesting thread for me to think about. Would you say this applies to a close friend? If a close friend said they needed to talk to you, would you still ask what it was about?
@Abner1969 @AmysMargin This was in the UK so the light sentences are appalling but not surprising.
@AmysMargin Yeah, I’m not saying it’s a new thing. This has been going for sure my whole life and before that. But it’s awful and just because it’s tradition doesnt make it good.
@AmysMargin Amy, I’m a former prosecutor in Ky and all the child sex crimes I prosecuted where the defendant was found guilty received the maximum (sometimes more than the maximum) sentence. I would think these sentences were a combination of culture and maybe
@AmysMargin a lack of evidence or the intent to avoid trial for the victim’s sake. No matter, in most (or at least many) places in the U.S. I think these cases would all be tried and the maximum sentence returned.
@AmysMargin @PotluckLauren Yep. Very common in my "trad aristocratic-leaning" maternal side of the family.
@PotluckLauren Interesting. I saw this in Scotland too - lots of pastels & feminine looking clothing. I rejected it all 😂 not a fan. With us - it’s like aiming for what the royal little boys look like - even feminine shoes too.
@AmysMargin That was my response. She told me partly, which was a non issue, and then she gave me a book to read. I don't have time for pettiness.
One trend in the south I can’t stand is how southern women often tend to dress their baby and toddler sons in feminine outfits for formal events and church. It is such a weird trend.
@AmysMargin This was rampant in my old church. I felt like I was in high school, getting called to the principal's office if I breathed the wrong way. Left that church. Then a week ago, a woman in my new church sent me the "we need to talk" text. I seriously had flashbacks.
