Stan CareyIf you're in need of some sweary fun, here's an interactive Periodic Table of Swearing: https://ptos.moderntoss.com/
Eric the half-a-beeAustralia may be well known for the plethora of unfriendly animals that want to bite you or do you in like snakes, spiders, sharks, crocodiles, and drop bears; but now here is something else you can beware of.
The Australian Swearing Owl more commonly known as the Frogmouth Owl, will help to make your stay here upsetting and enraging. Hunting by night the owl will sit in a tree by day and spend the whole time swearing and cursing loudly and profusely. This, along with its huge beak, distinguishes it from the beautiful and cultured owls found in the #NorthernHemisphere.
It has an incredible vocabulary consisting solely of the foulest and most disgusting language, particularly if tourists are known to be in the area.

Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬Does #swearing make you stronger? Science says yes.
There’s a growing body of scientific evidence that this is indeed the case. The technical term is the “hypoalgesic effect of swearing.” #Cursing can also improve physical strength and endurance, according to a new paper published in the journal American Psychologist.

CHRYSALE: As for me, I’d prefer that, while peeling the veggies,
She misaligns a few subjects and verbs,
And repeats fifty times a low and vulgar word,
Than that she burns my meat or over-salts my stew.
I live on good soup, not on fine language.
[J’aime bien mieux, pour moi, qu’en épluchant ses herbes,
Elle accommode mal les noms avec les verbes,
Et redise cent fois un bas ou méchant mot,
Que de brûler ma viande ou saler trop mon pot.
Je vis de bonne soupe, et non de beau langage.]

EdgeMore fuckery from #HCA and #MIssionHospital here in #Asheville after the death of yet another patient, and the continued under-staffing of our hospital system. This is what for-profit hospitals will all be doing in our current era soon.
HCA keeps saying how AVL is their best system, as they're making the most money here. But, as reported, HCA "never committed to quality care."
I still want that on a billboard.
