Reasons to Stay Alive When the World Burns by Oladosu Michael Emerald

Would you like to have a cry? Yes. Yes you would. Read this @trampset.bsky.social piece by Oladosu Michael Emerald. It's 230 words. You will be grateful you took 3 minutes out of your day, I promise.

Them: What band are you in

Me: Erm, The Charlatans

Them: Your council tax band?

When we say that we hope this post is β€˜awesome,’ we don’t mean we want it to be expressive of awe or terror.

We mean that we hope you like it.

This reduction of a word's intensity is called β€˜semantic bleaching.’
