You can mock the Eagles if you like, but not on my watch, and not on my site. They know what women are like.
“Yes, talking about racism and discrimination against Asian Americans is extremely weird without broaching how the model minority myth has been used as a weapon against both black and brown people (and, let’s not forget, non-East Asian AAPIs). But it would also be weird, in such a mainstream outlet, to not only broach the unfamiliar (to its audience) topic of Asian American discrimination, but also simultaneously throw this bomb about how all races and ethnicities in America are defined relative to anti-blackness.
Can a 101 piece about Asian Americans, aimed at a mainstream white audience, actually successfully encompass the issue of anti-blackness? …I want to say yes, but the thought of actually trying to write that piece makes me want to run away screaming.”
Just let women sleep in art, man! They are so sleepy!
“The fact that he is a horse who has written a book notwithstanding, the problems that affected Black Beauty as a non-book writing horse continue to affect him today.” These stories about beloved children’s book characters are pretty much all true, I can vouch for them.
This made me think more about chairlifts than anything else I have ever read about chairlifts.
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Ah, but she can’t take you any way
You don’t already know how to go
And I got a peaceful, easy feeling
And I know you won’t let me down
‘Cause I’m already standing on the ground

I’m not going to mock the Eagles, far from it, and I love your site!
I do only have one lonely Eagles song in my iTunes though (Hotel California of course), and after the fantastic revelations re. “Tiffany twisted + Mercedes Bends” from earlier, I am listening to this in a whole new light.
Where do I get started with some more of their stuff? Is this a good list?

Dad Moment!
I had a nasal polyp fall out yesterday (yes, fine, it was gross, but I can breathe now), and I shared this information with Facebook, as one does. My father’s response:
“Let’s not rush to a diagnosis. Perhaps what you had ( in light of this “breaking free and attacking” behaviour) was the sessile polyp of the seldom-seen (due to its shy and retiring nature) nasal jellyfish. Jellies have alternating polyp and free-swimming medusa forms. Was the detached entity struggling feebly to reach open water? Did it seem to be exhibiting mating behaviour? Were there stinging tentacles? If any of these signs were present, you may need to consult anj marine biologist; look for one specializing in invertebrates if such may be found in your area.
Still, there’s no reason to panic. In your area, I believe the most common jellies are the moon and cannonball jellies. They are not terribly venomous; the major threat they pose is due to their size (up to 20 inches across for some types.) On the other hand, even a nonvenomous 20-inch nasal jellyfish can be seriously inconvenient. And, as the old saying goes, where there’s one jellyfish you can see there are probably ten more that you can’t.”
DADS.
That is some A+ dadding! And congratulations on your newfound breathing abilities.
It looked like a small clove of garlic! I’m hoping there’s one on the other side, and that my Flonase weakens that one as well. Who knows, I might even regain my sense of smell one of these days.
I stand in awe.
Dad was a biology major in college.
