I like to entertain myself and one thing that has made me laugh is saying things like “sorry i am so effing late, I couldn’t find where the eff my keys were.” The nostalgia factor is so special and it just sounds a little silly. For extra laughs sometimes, I like to precede or follow with the disclaimer that “I am trying to curse less” because "curse" is a funny word too and the statement is blatently not true.

I think it’s fun to have other alternatives to cussing too. I just thought of saying cuss instead of the actual words because I just watched Fantastic Mr. Fox, and that’s something they do in the movie. there’s a scene with Mr. Fox and Badger having an argument that includes a lot of that, and I love that scene. I also appreciated the use of cluster-cuss. it has fun alliteration to it. I‘m also fond of using older exclamations, like fie. this all isn’t because I’m against cursing. it’s because I like some of the creativity of it and that it is different since it can get tiring using the regular curse words. plus, after a while it can feel like it’s starting to lose its meaning

I used to think shit and fuck were cool words. Now I think they are gauche, especially when used multiple times in one sentence

As an urban planner, I love maps. And, as someone casually fascinated by language/linguistic geography and sociolinguistics this is so interesting to me! I come back all the time as I’m exploring new neighborhoods. Done by the good people at the Endangered Language Alliance.
Another fascinating project (and mapped in, like, HTML) is this interactive map done by an amateur linguistic geographer, North American English Dialects, Based on Pronunciation Patterns.

While it takes time to finesse, it makes two cups of coffee and sits pretty on the counter.

This long-form video from an anonymous Irish sculptor that gets progressively more brilliant and unpredictable. I think it was my favorite thing I came across online in all of last year which is maybe revealing too much about myself.
