To paraphrase, "It is legitimate for the state to use its monopoly on violence to enforce conformity of citizen's bodies and identities."

I continue to be amazed that there aren't more anarchists.

We got a deal on used owls. Their heads don’t turn all the way around, but we equipped them with tiny neck braces and they seem happy.

“Life changing”
I don’t remember going in. I don’t remember coming out. My family says I was only gone for four minutes but I have memories that span what feels like decades. The funnel cake nearby was also very good. Will return.

Kerry for saying octopuses instead of octopi, and it was like Kerry had been training her whole life for a student to make that mistake. Total lay-up, and my favorite part of the day.

Happy World Octopus Day!
octopi = from the belief that words of
Latin origin should have Latin endings
octopuses = an English ending to
match its adoption as an English words
octopodes = from the belief that bc
'octopus' is originally Greek, it should have a Greek ending

me: so octopuses…

student: do you mean octopi?

other professor: oh no you didn’t

student: I TAKE IT BACK

me: so, in English, we borrow not only WORDS, but MORPHOLOGIES, and since octopus is a Greek word borrowed into Latin borrowed into English…
