Most white people simply cannot grasp that AAVE is a separate language, not “broken” English.

This is partly due to AAVE’s more-complex, stricter governing rules—which were originally curated to confuse white people; Black people acquire these rules naturally.

I have 214.6K followers, and I figure at least some of them are looking to gift books this holiday season, so:

HEY AUTHORS OF BLUESKY: In the comments to this post, tell us (briefly!) about your most recent book, and put in a link to where people can learn more and/or buy the book in question.

Go!

A bill to break up UnitedHealth, CVS, Cigna and more has been introduced by a bipartisan group of U.S. senators and representatives.

The legislation would force insurers to sell their pharmacy businesses.

It aims to combat PBMs, pharma middlemen who drive up costs.

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr.

The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...
Nobel Laureates Urge Senate to Turn Down Kennedy’s Nomination
Elevating Mr. Kennedy to secretary of H.H.S. “would put the public’s health in jeopardy,” more than 75 laureates wrote.
