It’s a foreign language like no other. It’s alien! From another galaxy!!!

To study language is a taste of history.

Do any of my editorial cohort see words they hear?

It’s called ticker-tape synaesthesia, where spoken words induce images of those same words in writing, and I’ve had it all my conscious life.

Woke – empathic.

Psychopath – zero awareness, zero respect, egocentric, extreme cruelty, lack of remorse.

If you’re not woke, you’re a psychopath.

Breasts are a right pain in the arse.
They catch toothpaste spatter, soup slops and breadcrumbs, and they ruin the silhouette.
I’d be a stone lighter if I were breastless.

The β€˜peace process’ became a magic pill rendering the occupation invisible to the west, disguising its metastisizing, omnipresent and ever more violent form. – Diana Buttu.
