Ep. 92 - "Can We Normalize This, Please?"

In this episode we give an assessment of the "normalize this" trend abundant on social media. We intended to discuss normalization in a more theoretical sense, but the realites of the trend often proved less serious than a genuine call for social/political change. Instead, Aaron and I talk about the 'capacious semantic function' of the word and that maybe some of y'all need to stop taking it so seriously.
