With the holidays coming up, I thought I'd bring up... I've been on the Internet for 25 years and I still find, to this day, every once in a while, people from the northern hemisphere that don't know our seasons are different.

This is just a tiny, seemingly trivial token of what a usa-dominated global discourse does - but worthy of mention precisely because of it. It permeates and erases everything. It flattens the human experiency to mind numbing, bland homogeneity. However, we still exist.
