Framing is everything.

Your choice of language is everything.

A screenshot featuring black text attributed to Jason Katz on a pink background. The text reads as follows:
“We talk about how many women were raped last year, not how many men raped women.
We talk about how many girls in a school district were harassed last year, not about how many boys harassed girls. We talk about how many teenage girls in the state of Texas got pregnant last year, rather than how many boys and men impregnated teenage girls.
So you can see how the use of passive voice has political effect. It shifts the focus off of men and boys and onto girls and women. Even the term ‘violence against women’ is problematic.
It's a passive construction; there's no active agent in the sentence. It's a bad thing that happens to women, but when you look at that term ‘violence against women,’ nobody is doing it to them. It just happens to them. Men aren't even a part of it. - Jackson Katz “

The past few weeks have been head spinning: U.S. job numbers? Solid... except for those layoffs in the tech sector. Inflation? Slowly dropping... but still high. Not to mention the bank failures...

Your daily #etymology !

Mindy Grazulis @melkleingraz

ROMAN TRIVIA: the word 'trivia' derives from the Latin tri (three) viae (roads) - where three roads meet. Busy intersections where people might share the news and gossip of the day. Its adjective form 'trivialis' meaning public, commonplace, also gives us our word 'trivial'.

Being decent a choice.
