Local Weatherman Disappointed Storm He Hyped Didn’t Kill More People
Allen Ginsberg und die literarischen Aufbrüche in den #USA werden die Bewegungen grundieren können, mit Patti Smith "Power to the people!"
wie damals Bob Dylan für die #Weatherman: "You don't have to ask the Weatermen ..." woher der Wind weht:
Nur wenige wissen, wie die #Vietnam-#Krieg's-Bewegungen begannen, mit durchaus kräftigen Bomben-Anschlägen, aber ohne menschliche Ziele, das war immer faschistische Art ...
Auch der SDS hatte ein US-Vorbild ....

We were just telling our daughter about legendary NZ weatherman Jim Hickey and I found this video of Jim Hickey’s KAPOW!

Fireside Fedi is an attempt to learn more about folks within the Fediverse.
A meteorologist's cat crashed his at-home forecast and became his beloved co-host

We started thinking about that Jeepers Creepers song that goes:
🎵 I don't care what the weatherman says when the weatherman says it's raining 🎵
... and how rather odd that is, as rain isn't the only form of precipitation or other types of weather that could cause serious issues. Unless it's sustained and/or torrential, rain is pretty low down the scale of bad weather events anyway.
Wonder what the song would think about hail, hail, snow, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, heatwaves, typhoons, drought, etc.
But anyway, that got us on to thinking about why guys get weather man but gals get called weather girl.
Don't get us wrong: we're not someone who's against being called a girl by certain people in certain contexts. However, we can see immediately how intentionally infantilising that is.
In the UK, all weather presenters -- as far as we know -- are qualified meteorologists who work at the Met Office anyways, so it's odd that we're gendering them.
But yeah: weather person, weather presenter, or meteorologist seems more fitting than weatherman vs weathergirl.
On the other hand, we wonder if you could have other gendered terms, like:
etc.
