jsmooth995:
Animal ethicists are calling for a new vocabulary about animals, shunning words such as “pets,” “wildlife,” and “vermin” as derogatory and even suggesting “animal” is a “term of abuse.”
Common language on fauna betrays an “anthropocentric bias” and impedes an understanding of our interaction…
I do think language matters, and I’m down with dropping “owner” in favor of “caretaker,”...

I mean, this is so right and I totally shouldn’t have read it because now I’m all MOTHERLAND WAH but you just need to stop at the chips. I can’t believe she didn’t mention all-dressed (THE CHIP TO END ALL CHIPS) aka “assassin” chips. Total hole in the plotline there.

I will have to watch Y&R with my mom when I’m home next week because this will make her sad. However, the part where he says he got to play a wide variety of emotions as Victor Newman? HA. Maybe they WROTE a variety of emotions but he’s pretty much always driven the truck of Arrogant Bastard through them all.
Also, my brother looks like Nick Newman. I’m just saying.
