I was stupidly thrilled while reading my e-newsletter from @elcultural to find the word "letraheridos" (more or less "people hurt by letters") to describe what English might call #bibliophiles or #literature lovers—and now I'm wondering if the origins of this newer term have anything to do with #Auden declaring #Yeats was hurt into #poetry ... Wherever it came from, I'm declaring it the best word I've heard in ages.
Refeudalización
Desigualdad social, economía y cultura política en América Latina en el temprano siglo XXI
This essay proposes the hypothesis that in the early 21st century we are experiencing a new combination of refeudalization at the global level, but with specific regional features. In Latin America, this concept is particularly useful for understanding the return of the right to power after a period of leftist governments.

One of the people in my dream last night was speaking Spanish and used the word "disposa" to mean "restroom." ("Donde esta la disposa" or perhaps, incorrectly, "Donde esta el disposa"). However, I just looked up "disposa" in Wiktionary and it isn't even a Spanish word, let alone one that means "restroom." Mi español es muy malo, and apparently even worse in my dreams. #Linguistics#Dreams#Spanish#Language@languagelovers
