Yikes Sophia! That is why I tend not to answer my door.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I rarely answer my door, but the cop was actually in my apartment (my door is at the bottom of the stairway) and, like shining a light up onto me!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I know post-structuralism often focuses on the way language is used to control/oppress people, acquire/maintain power, etc (Foucault especially wrote a lot about this). I don't remember if structuralism is similar in this respect.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Oh, Foucault. Even his name tires me.

OK, I was off a little on the meaning of "signifier"
signifier (the sound pattern of a word, either in mental projection - as when we silently recite lines from a poem to ourselves - or in actual, physical realization as part of a speech act)
...so, not the same as the "word."
I found Foucault difficult, but rewarding when I struggled through a book.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ay yay! How long was your cat meowing? Like two days? Because that's about how long I'd wait before CALLING THE COPS about a neighbor, if that was the only "evidence."

OK, my previous post about "signifier" pertained to semiotics. Structuralism is a little different when applied to literary criticism.
Why couldn't there be Wikipedia when I was in college?

Hee. I was wondering about structuralism and its relationship to semiotics. That was all sounding very familiar.

And it might have involved Spike being accused of killing Elizabeth Short, I'm not really sure.
I'm not sure if this is the funniest or the saddest thing I've heard all day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So post-structuralism talks about verbal tools of The Man, huh?
On the phone with India, using some of the stuff I learnt in the past 2.5 days of training. Plus the document I wrote when I came back from training early.
It's an impressive process modification we've been taught. Except it's going to be hella hard to push this change all the way through all the divisions, as it would be required to make it really work.
But I'm faking it with a group of untrained co-workers, and it's not bad. But we go way back. Still, it's kinda cool to be able to use stuff so quickly.
