social issues of the differently animate textile-American 

So, of course, I'm moving out of my place shortly. It's fine, I'll be okay. The important thing is, I have to clean up the area under my bed.

Well, for the last year or two, I've been referring to this in my personal headcanon as "The Underbed," a mysterious region that my plushies were exploring in cautious little pulp-adventure expeditions. (read: "tumbling down the crack between the bed and the wall and getting stuck there").

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."
