    A statistical model predicted that “in heat” with no upper-case H nor quotes, was more likely to refer to the biological condition. Don’t get me wrong: I think these things are dumb, but that was a fully predictable result. (‘…the movie “Heat”’ would probably get you there).


  • I got on FB when it was still only for students. I quit something like 5 years ago. I never had insta. I quit twitter partially pre-corona and fully deleted it a couple years ago. I mostly just read things, especially during Corona when local governments posted a lot there (until recently, twitter was king in Japan. I think Insta has since dethroned it somewhat).








  • I grew up in rural Ohio, USA. We had sex ed in 5th grade ('91, maybe?) that covered the very basic biological stuff. I think the following summer, we were supposed to go to a waterpark but had to cancel because my step-sister was on her period. Mom came in to talk about it, I showed her the pamphlet that school sent me home with, she read through it, then said to ask her if I had any questions. That was the first and last time any of that came up.
