    I hate to disappoint but Shakira’s tongue expression is called zaghrouta, a way to express joy in Arab culture. It also aludes to the dance “Son de Negros” at the “Carnaval de Barranquilla” where she is from in Colombia. Now you can go back to whatever interpretation you like 🤭

    Do you know where the name “Bluetooth” (for the wireless technology) came from? I didn’t until a few days ago. Harald Gormsson was the king of Denmark from 958 to 986. He was known for having united the different Danish tribes into a single kingdom. 🧵(1/4)

    Daughter (7y) “mom, is it difficult to find a boyfriend?” 😳, I considered explaining how it depends on the arrival rate, and how the rate can depend on your type, etc. But opted for a simple “it depends,” the search and matching explanation might be premature...

    Both of my parents have tested positive for #COVID19. My dad is asymptomatic, but my mom is pretty sick 😰. The airport in Colombia is still closed, and I’m stuck in the US... feeling absolutely powerless. This is terrifying.

    This account just followed me. Blocked it immediately. EJMR Should be banned. It represents everything that is wrong with our profession, and we should have no tolerance towards it, much less, encourage the spread of its content.
