I really like the word "liminal" but I'm never sure when I can use it because I'm afraid people will take it as meaning generically "spooky". It means something specific. An in-between space. A space you're not meant to linger in. A place you're supposed to pass through, probably without thinking about it, which means if you ever *stop* in that place and let yourself be aware of it it has this particular feel. You know. "Spooky".

@mcc Between the garden behind the house we lived and the sports field was an overgrown drainage ditch about 2 m wide, on both sides enclosed by fences. That's my original liminal space and I very much liked to play there.

@randomgeek What always amazes me is that it's so easy to be a good person, and yet people choose to be dickheads.

Work crew shares transphobic commentary around misgendering an inmate.
Then rambling with each other about political correctness, and "woke is dead."
I glance up.
"No I'm not. I'm right here."
Little bit of defensive backtracking from those present. "I don't really care about what they say they are but PC and woke is just—"
Me: "I aspire to respectful and empathetic communication, partly because it pisses off the people I don't like."
