Not surprisingly, gadflies in cyberspace were quick to pounce on the study — or, more specifically, on the girls and women who are frying their words. “Are they trying to sound like Kesha or Britney Spears?” teased The Huffington Post, naming two pop stars who employ vocal fry while...

Erratic M.I.N.I.O.N.s
Sorry to any who feel abandoned, I’ve been doing a lot to try to get stuff in order…so this blog may be a bit random and impersonal for a while.

M.I.N.I.O.N. is down for a bit...
…took a half-day off work today because my neck and back and shoulder felt so bad. Did something nasty to the muscles. Crick in the neck. Knot in the back by the shoulder blade.
Ibuprofen. Heat. Massage. Still hurts.
Anywho, gonna be offline for a bit, I think.
I hope this goes away before Saturday’s show because I really want to see the Queers.

Happy Friendship 7 Day!

Have an interview with John Glenn. (Needless to say, he’s not chuffed about the current state of things.)

For reference, John Glenn, Marine fighter pilot, member of the original Mercury 7 astronaut group, first American to complete an orbit of the Earth (today, in Friendship 7, 50 years ago) and third American in space...

Read this before you make comments about religion,...
Angwe says: Top-posting because I haven’t run into atheists who are stupid enough to believe that atheism somehow erases their privilege, thank a being or the universe as you are so inclined, but the religion-bashing is something that annoys me, so I’m reblogging mostly for the points about that.

Wayne gives us an interesting glimpse into the possibility that Toto’s “Africa” may have an African rhythm (Malian, it would see) even if Toto didn’t know they were doing it.
