@davidaugust@mastodon.onlineDuring WWII, when someone was sent to a concentration/death camp, the word used to describe it is “deported” to the camp.
The “mass deportations” currently being suggested today use the word “deportations” in the same way.

@@Gigi@kolektiva.social"White guy window dressing" is a little better. I just wish it was one word.
I bet, if they weren't white, the Germans would have a word for this.

@isewvinyl@sunny.garden“Dangerous Coats” by Sharon Owens
Someone clever once said
Women were not allowed pockets
In case they carried leaflets
To spread sedition
Which means unrest
To you & me
A grandiose word
For commonsense
Fairness
Kindness
Equality
So ladies, start sewing
Dangerous coats
Made of pockets & sedition
@dankeck@a11y.socialToday I learned the English word "access" has been a noun for centuries, but seems to have only become commonly used as a verb in the mid-20th century with the advent of computers.
