The Composite Human

• Recycled Words

  I am not a linguist. But if given the chance to form my thoughts and converse with one (say, an attentive John McWhorter, for instance) I’d ask: why do I find myself using words I’ve recently just heard? Here’s what I mean: in between the daily ramblings of my inner voice, I often find myself…

• A Catalog of Un-Charming Things

  The world is so big! So many countries to visit, clothes to buy, shows to watch. Even on the micro we can see the beautiful—like the spritzing mist of a peeled orange, descending slowly, feather-like.
