Those Non-Reciprocal Pieties
Regarding the recent Māori theatrics in the New Zealand parliament:
Interesting. Are we indigenous Danes also more spiritually and culturally connected to our land than the recent immigrants? https://t.co/4WzK6HOr2g

Oddly, no reply was forthcoming.
Update, via the comments:
On those connections to the land:
Apparently, museum visitors must be warned that the sight of a Constable landscape may trigger TERRIFYING BLOOD AND SOIL TENDENCIES. Or at least inspire thoughts of historical attachment, continuity, and belonging – thoughts that may be disconcerting or very much frowned upon, if only by the – wait for it – keepers of our heritage.
Today’s word, since you ask, is juxtaposition.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.

Calcium Chloride, I think.
Two uses I know of include: in solution as ballast inside tractor tires and as a crisping agent for making dill pickles.

It is used to treat hypocalcemia and is a component of Brawno which has electrolytes.
Breaking: The Starship 6 test was successful–and without the use of pronouns.
Steve E: so, if I understand correctly I can tumble-brine my pickles in my tractor tires? Certainly a time and space saver…
Just how many queer vegan performance artists do they think want to buy a Jaguar?

We’ve been through this. The permanently self-destructive behaviours – compulsive tattooing and piercing, etc. – are dysfunctional coping mechanisms, outward expressions of self-loathing. The more milder forms are overcompensation – these are women who are deeply insecure about their appearance and so deliberately uglify themselves so as to have a ready-made target to redirect any criticism of their appearance. Deep down, they know that because they can shed all that any time they wish any criticism of their appearance can be shrugged off.
Its why the fat-activism is so strident – they can’t simply take off the fat suit.
From the linked article:
Lots of straight men write about dating. They just aren’t saying things that flatter women’s vanities and the delusions they’ve built up around sex and dating. It wasn’t a woman who created the meme “men prefer debt-free virgins without tattoos”.
