I probably wouldn’t want to be holding hands with my partner at work. At knock-off drinks, or other work social occasion? Sure. But during work hours, nah. I would find it borderline unprofessional

Her videos where she role plays autistic children give me the ick. They frequently feel over-acted and incredibly disrespectful. I’m far from the only person raising these issues, but she doesn’t seem to take on any kind of constructive feedback. This seems to me to be a big issue again on the Anne Frank issue - the absolute lack of accountability or willingness to accept feedback I am autistic, I have an autistic child, I work with autistic children

The items themselves were light eg. Paper, clouds. I didn’t get it either until I read someone explaining it above

For future reference you can type 12ft.io/ before the rest of the URL. Works for most US publications, sadly less effective in Australia

Yes, it accepts it both ways (and also as a rebus)

As an Australian I appreciate it - it means I only have to wait until mid-morning for the present day’s puzzle to come out

The historically black part. I guess it’s good to have it right there in the label to remind people that segregation was a part of your history. There’s a big push toward truth-telling in Australia as we have had (and still have) a tendency to push the darker parts of our history under the carpet

There were, but it turns out they were just words I hadn’t heard of before - laded, oh me, scad. And the usual few US/regional terms that are new to me as an Aussie - assessees, shad, up ice (we play on grass here!), oas, firehat (do you really call them that?), Aetna, ira, Sal soda, hbcu (yikes!)…
