Don't Be a Meanie, Have a Quaran-tini
<p>Flatten the curve - a public health strategy to slow down the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus during the COVID-19 pandemic. The curve being flattened is the epidemic curve, a visual representation of the number of infected people needing health care over time.</p> <p>------</p> <p>Welcome to the fourth episode of (Art)iculate! I'm your host, Jenny Li, and I'm looking forward to jazzing and jiving with you through the intricacies of COVID-19 terminology! Grab your marmalade, succulents, and copies of Animal Crossing as we criss-cross the wild landscape of reckoning with a public health crisis that demands coordinated, collective action. And please, if you're someone that runs six miles every morning, teach me your ways.</p> <p>Music: Biscuit (Prod. by Lukrembo) - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtZ2m2Zm3vY" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Youtube</a></p> <p>Sources:</p> <p>- "How the Coronavirus Has Infected Our Vocabulary" - <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/04/13/a-temporary-moment-in-time" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New Yorker </a></p> <p>- "Our Ever-Expanding Virus Vernacular" - <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/05/style/language-slang-coronavirus.html" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New York Times</a></p> <p>- #ReframeCovid - <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1TZqICUdE2CvKqZrN67LcmKspY51Kug7aU8oGvK5WEbA/edit#gid=268174477" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Google Sheets Project </a></p>

A Sound for Soramimi Ears
<p>Soramimi (空耳, "mishearing; (feigned) deafness", literally "air ear") or soramimi kashi (空耳歌詞, misheard lyrics); is a Japanese term for homophonic translation of song lyrics, that is, interpreting lyrics in one language as similar-sounding lyrics in another language. </p> <p>------------------------------- </p> <p>Welcome to the third episode of (Art)iculate! I'm your host, Jenny Li, and I'm looking forward to sharing my childhood memories in which I emulate seaweed on the dance floor. Today we talk exploding bananas and unintentionally phallic energy, pleas to visit Chidoya life insurance, and enthusiastic French bakers vigorously beating eggs. It's gonna be a wild ride, kids.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Sock It Tmesis, Sock It Tmesis
<p>tme·sis t(ə)ˈmēsəs/ noun the separation of parts of a compound word by an intervening word or words, heard mainly in informal speech (e.g., a whole nother story ; shove it back any-old-where in the pile ). </p> <p>---------------------------- </p> <p>Welcome to the second episode of (Art)iculate! I'm your host, Jenny Li, and I'm looking forward to cursing in an entirely awkward and unintimidating fashion while you, my audio captives, sit listening, entirely unamused. Today, we talk Homer Simpson, Snoop Dogg, and apartment leases and effectively explore, in the process, all of the deep, philosophical quandaries that really matter. If you're sitting in Phila-fucking-delphia listening, jazz hands of approval to you.
