I listen to podcasts on my phone with one earplug in. Wired, not bluetooth so no batteries. The podcast shouldn't be anything actually interesting, just enough to keep the brain occupied. I like history, things I'm not really interested in like the Byzantine Empire, the Kingdom of Siam, or super ancient history like Gilgamesh or Ur. Tolkien lore is good, get a 90 minute livestream of Q&A and it keeps the brain busy until sleep arrives.

If it were the Xhosa consonant, it would be notated with an exclamation point.
LatinX is genderless, like they/them. Right now, there isn't a non-gendered alternative. You either say Latino, male or Latina, female. Both ways suck. Language evolves, we need new ways of expressing ourselves.
Wow, he's still alive‽
