With International Women's Day memes beginning to appear, a reminder that Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's comment "Well-behaved women seldom make history" was intended as a criticism of historians, not well-behaved women
Bipedalism is a shit show
Really wishing Leonard Cohen's "The Future" didn't sound so prescient this morning.
www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m.... JFC, I'm so grateful I'm too old to ever want to date this generation.
