I'm assuming they're not self-hugging. (I could be wrong.) Does anyone know what's up?
I just had to look it up. It's a tactic used by neo-nazis to identify Jewish people. So people both Jewish and non-Jewish have started using it to defiantly self-identify.

Well that sucks (the neo-nazi angle, not the defiance). Thanks, Dana.
I would like to hug myself.
Oh, in a really tacky pop music chain of association, I am reminded that I heard "Blurred Lines" being played at an outdoor event last weekend. I didn't think we were still doing that! (And it sure is fun, especially when you can't hear it well enough to get the lyrics.)
I am a firm NO on Blurred Lines.

This is me. Damn if it doesn't get me every time. (But I'm also on record as loving "Baby It's Cold Outside" despite how rapey it is. I recognize that some shit is problematic but has a good melody.)

This is what I'm saying! I forgot how good the music is.
Our family solution is to groove to the Weird Al version, "Word Crimes." (Bonus: dorky grammar jokes.)
"Word Crimes" is AWESOME. And it should not be surprising that a bajillion people sent it to me (or tagged me on FB) when it came out.
