  • A work like Capital may be a little much to start with and the style is a little old fashioned, but I think you're underestimating yourself. Reading any sort of non-fiction just means taking it at the pace you are comfortable with. Sometimes you have to look up a word or a phrase, sometimes you have to sleep on something and come back to it with fresh eyes -- that's fine! Understanding isn't something you get immediately -- it comes over time. If you're still intimidated, maybe try starting with something outside of direct theory. Pick a topic that you're interested in, and find a book on it. Reading is like any habit, it gets better with practice!

    that ain't gaslighting, that's just food witchery, some good ol' headology as Granny Weatherwax would say

  • I've encountered it as a gendered dismissal of women, but I've also seen it used neutrally far more. I like it as a word. It's... relaxed. Like, "What were saying doesn't necessarily carry weight, we're shooting the shit". I'd argue it's an actuate description for most of online interaction, so I like it as a name in that regard.

    This is probably not the right place for this, but I figured I'd bring it up here first.

    The emoji name for have-to-kill-this-guy is not great. I know that it's literally dialog from the meme, but it seems... more prone to legal trouble than any of our other emojis. May be prudent to change it. :damn: isn't yet taken, and is already one of the key words.
