Recently got given a faux fur blanket. I'm beginning to despise it because it's shedding so many fake hairs, but my partner loves how warm it is and doesn't want me to throw it in the closet. These things are small, hard to see because they're mostly white, and are basically airborne; I can't imagine how many we've accidentally eaten.

Is there any way I can fix this blanket? I'm thinking about just scrubbing it with the vacuum

Multipolarity is a moment of tension between capitalist-imperialists. There are imperialist and aspiring imperialist powers waiting to pounce on vulnerability of their competitors, whether China is in that camp or not doesn't change that. This is not inherently good for the proletariat of the world because their class tensions will spill onto us in various brutal ways - austerity, domestic fascism, war, etc, but it does present an opportunity for more effective organizing as the tensions make class divides more clear.

Interesting that Bonney's devil fruit just sort of happened. With what Vegapunk said about devil fruits representing dreams or whatever and Bonney wanting to get older to see the world, seems like it kinda found its way to her because of it. If all devil fruit are like that, like the gum gum getting to Luffy, fire fire fruit getting to Sabo, etc, I wonder what the implications are of Blackbeard stealing them are?

What are some Brazilian examples?

Last names as first names is definitely part of the trend

I'm not saying that couldn't be the origin, but reading through some stuff on google points to it originating as a pidgin english term (original either coming from Mandarin or an Indigenous American language)

What's interesting is it's not a direct appropriation like whites naming their kids Lashawn and more in the spirit of it; i.e. names with no cultural origin or taking ones that do and modifying the spelling/pronunciation

Yeah mostly an anglo NA thing, I don't think Euro whiteness has the same cultural requirements to do this

It's kinda funny thinking about how racist whites in the mid 00s would mock black people's names and since then those same whites are naming their kids shit like Brontley and Mykeighlla
