Notes and links from 9 Aug: https://notes.peteashton.com/2026/08/09/notes-and-links-from-aug.html
While talking with my niece at the tea party yesterday she described her kids as “going all yampy” which was the first time I’d heard this midlands expression in the wild. I felt like an ethnologist who’d stumbled upon a tribe he’d only read about in old Lew Stringer comics.
