  2. New blog post!

    ☆On metric☆

    Maybe I'm just so done with *gestures vaguely* that being a bit petty will blow off steam, but honestly? Americans use metric. We use whatever is useful. Which really begs the question: if metric is so great, then why wouldn't we use it for everything?

    #TruthBeTold = A statement that is logically or literally true (or partly true), but seems to imply something that isn’t true or is just plain weird. (for rhetoric, logic or propaganda studies… or just for fun)
