| Introduction | I'm Zippa. I read, I think, I talk, and I write, but sometimes one outstrips the other and I get ahead of myself. This is a thought repository and not a font of education. I try to be aware of my privileges and to acknowledge when I write about areas that are not part of my own identity. Comments are lightly moderated, but personal attacks will not be published. Responses to other comments are acceptable; comments about commenters themselves are not. For a better idea of who I am, posts about my personal "stuff" are here: Zippa |

Which is easier to make a model airplane out of and why: a banana peel or a wet sock?
A banana peel, for sure. I mean, you could make that into some pretty sturdy stuff. A wet sock is just going to fail.
