Isto é porreiro, especialmente para calar a boca aos tipinhos do norte da Europa, que ainda andam com a cabeça cheia de porcos.
Mas sabem o que era mesmo, MESMO porreiro? Era que a malta sentisse alguma coisa dessa liderança.

Today's weather is a metaphor: while asleep snow accumulates; once awake, the rain turns what was beautiful into something else entirely.
@axbom@axbom.meThis morning, the #MetaphorsOfReligion conference starts with the panel on “Digital and Computational Approaches to Metaphor Analysis,” including our own presentation “Religious Metaphors at Scale.” I am looking forward to the discussion!
