Happily Belated

PensiveLass1. 79. Bummer. Nowhere to go except 80 and that’s a seriously scary thought. Still, one still breathers and rants and takes space that ought to be dedicated only to the Masters of the Universe. Two fingers to Them.
…una guerra serveix per que la perdi tothom.
Mercè Rodoreda
…perhaps for you, such being the case, there will be an answer. Better yet, one that makes sense.
Iain M. Banks


Language! Language!

ChitChat2. You don’t like the word intifada? Oh, you poor mentally unstable thing(s). Here’s some alternatives, then:
Uprising. Insurrection. Rebellion. Mutiny. Insurgence. Revolt. Revolution. Civil disobedience. Agitation.
And, push come to shove: Putsch, Tremors and even Agitation.
Now go ban them all, you brainless bunch of big girl’s blouses. I’m sure the ADL, AIPAC and even the good old Institute will be delighted.
Have a nice day.
PS. The small Squiggle advocacy for free teddy bears is a jolly good idea. Never underestimate the subversive power of teddy bears.
