social issues of the differently animate textile-American
I was writing my to-do list for the move, and originally just wrote "clean under bed." Well, the item just before it started with "clean." I wanted a different word so it'd stand out. And the "Underbed" reminded me of the plushies.
And I didn't want to say something grim like "cleanse the Underbed" or "raze the Underbed."
So I smiled triumphantly and typed "*decolonize* the Underbed."
