In the spirit of calling Republican bigots "Mrs Cruz" and "Mrs Graham" I wonder what it's like to dehumanise extreme MAGA people like the Whitehouse Press Secretary - I guess it's an aberrant mole-rat now since it seems only fair to do the same to it as it does to others.
The picture of it that AI generated for me isn't pleasant, so I marked it as sensitive.
All Joe Rogan's apologies | @destiny

my apologies for all the quotes I’ve put up here I attributed to Racheal from Lehto’s Law.
her actual name is Heather. she’s a lovely Canadian lady with a delightful voice.
she’ll obviously never find this post, but I apologize to her too.
When I was in grade five, the teacher stepped out of the classroom for a bit and a boy started chasing me around trying to hurt me. I was running and screaming in terror. When the teacher came back in the room, he saw me running, but not my bully who'd sat down right away.
I was told to report for detention.
Later on, the teacher apologized to me because he'd found out what happened. It was the first time a grownup ever apologized to me.
I'd come to believe that no adult would ever believe me.
Normalize apologizing to children. Normalize admitting to them when you are wrong.
#apologies #children
I get really annoyed at non-acknowledgement and try my utmost to acknowledge people. I'm sorry if I've ever missed you.

To those of you on Mastodon -- a subsidiary of the Fediverse -- that Eye have managed to offend by attaching the hashtag #TuckersBalls to all of my toots:
Eye apologize, and yet, Eye will continue to do it.
It allows me to quickly search for my own posts.
You, too, may employ a rarely used phrase as a hashtag toot identifier and be able to easily search for all your Fediverse creative output.

“I am sorry for hurting you by forgetting your birthday.
I know it upsets you from your family forgetting when you were a kid.
I forgot this time because I was distracted by my own events and didn’t check my paper planner like I prefer to do.
I don’t want to hurt you again in future, so I’m going to add an electronic alarm as a calendar reminder for next year.
For right now, I’d like to make you a very nice hot chocolate, if that’s alright?”
Like
1. Sorry for specifically doing XYZ.
2. It hurt you because ABC / demonstrate you understand how they feel.
3. These are the factors that influenced this outcome / I understand now what lead to this.
4. This is how I will stop this from repeating / I care about your feelings in the future.
5. This is how I will make it up to you now / I care about your feelings in this moment.
Depending who it is and how it happened, there might be emotional shorthand.
So you might not need to say each part or fully prostrate yourself for minor issues or with someone who thinks well of you.
A social norm seems to persist in Japan that one should apologize first and explain later. That goes for companies as well. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/02/09/language/successful-unsuccessful-public-apologies/ #life #language #apologies #nihongo #vocabulary #jlptn1
‘Let sleeping #centipedes lie’ as the old adage goes. Time to move on. Been enjoying #writing this #weekend as part of my current collaborative #Slow #Research #Woodland project. An opportunity to spend time in the #woods and to respond in #words and #images. I recommend it! #Apologies for the pretentious title. A play on the title of Clarence Glacken’s classic survey of #Nature and #Culture in western thought, ‘Traces on the Rhodian Shore’. It won’t survive the second draft!
The Time Machine is a wonderful story about friendship and forgiveness. Sharing the main character’s emotions, Pauline David-Sax explains the importance of apologizing to young readers. As young Bailey shows it so well, it is not an easy thing, but it is certainly worth it.

Nothing that hasn’t already been said in #pragmatics since #speechact theory, but can’t resist resharing something on public #apologies

Best apology evva.
I hope other admins are learning and checking their backup processes.
Also I'll be aware that backing up my account successfully might depend on just me.
Would like to see you getting paid to teach organisations how to apologise.
@Barros_heritage @histodons @anthropology @sociology With the Dutch apology in the news, maybe I can do a tiny bit of self-promotion?
With Tom Bentley (U Aberdeen), I recently co-edited a special issue of Global Studies Quarterly on Political Apologies for Historical Injustices.

Introductory essay: https://academic.oup.com/isagsq/article/2/4/ksac076/6916941
This is a good evergreen point on #apologies: "The Court will not require an apology from Respondents because a compelled apology is not a sincere apology. Any decision to apologize is left to Respondents."
Apologizing when you've wronged someone isn't a sign of weakness; it's a sign of integrity, strength of character, & personal growth. It takes a unique combination of boldness, humility, & courage to admit when you've wronged someone, & also provides necessary healing for both you & the aggrieved party.

Exactly one year ago,
on 16 February 2022, Maria #Zakharova, representative of Russian ministry of foreign affairs, has indignantly denied the possibility of a Russian #invasion in #Ukraine and demanded #apologies
