Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Kpop is *melting down* with career-ending scandals, people, it's a hot mess, but it has brought me word-related joy despite it all. Lots of people talking about kpop in English online do so despite English not being their first language. Yesterday I saw the beautiful sentence "They are using Hanbin as an escape goat" and today brought me "goatscapes".
ESCAPE GOAT
I would expect a goatscape to look something like this.
TIL the English word scapegoat was invented by Tyndale in 1530 to translate a Hebrew word that appears in the Bible (meaning... scapegoat, in the context of drawing lots regarding actual goats; a goat was selected to bear the burden of people's bad actions and was sent off into the wilderness). It's in Leviticus. "And Aaron cast lottes ouer the .ij. gootes: one lotte for the Lorde, and another for a scapegoote."
Poor goats.
Moving papers from one place to another counts as organizing stuff, right?
twirls into thread doing the dance of mother of employed adult child Took #1 for an interview yesterday. They said 3-5 days to hear anything, then an hour later asked him to come in for second interview this morning. I brought him and a half hour later he messaged me to pick him up at 7 because he was in training! Send make~it~last~ma please. Woot!
PLOT TWIST, Tom is an evil genius. I did not see that coming.
Yep, I suspected as much.
Escaping goats!
An escape goat should be one a monkey rides to freedom.
Speaking of escape goats, my big big boss, the department's Commissioner, just resigned (i.e. "resigned"). He was the sixth Commissioner in 12 years.

Yikes.
BRB, off to look at pictures of goats.
Whoa. You aren't blackmailing commissioners, are you, Tom?
Congrats, Laura!
