    As a linguist, waving is a brilliant solution to bridge the sudden disappearance at the end of a video call: esp in a group, when you can see everyone's waving, you know they're all ready to leave It's like standing up, picking up your coat/bag - transitional movements

    Why do I feel compelled to WAVE at the end of Zoom calls? I have literally never walked out of a meeting room WAVING.

    Q for the hive-mind: I recall reading or hearing Frank Herbert used Islamic terms in Dune based on his relations with folks from a Sufi group (tariqa) in Florida. Has anyone else heard/read this or know where to find either evidence or falsification?

    I’m one of those artists. If you click on that Google ad, they will charge me 12% even if you buy on a later visit that’s not through the ad. Fine for new customers, but not so good with my regulars who would buy without that ad, but click it thinking it somehow helps me.

    PSA: PLEASE STOP CLICKING ADS FOR ETSY ITEMS ON GOOGLE. IT CHARGES ARTISTS AN ADDITIONAL 12% OF THE ENTIRE SALE AND SOME OF US CANNOT OPT OUT BECAUSE OF 'S PREDATORY POLICIES
