No dia em que eu comprar o Bluesky, apenas a #Merriam-Webster terá autorização para utilizar emojis.

Gail Simone @gailsimone.bsky.social: "So Merriam-Webster has announced that "fridge" is an official word in their dictionary now, and cited me as the concept's creator in the definition. Very cool, and weird at the same time. I got death threats over this, cool for it to be recognized." (below is the link, and the link preview, showing the silhouette of a hand wielding a knife as it to stab someone from overhead. Part of the definition (next image) can be read below that)screenshot from the link, showing the Merriam-Webster entry for "fridge" verb to kill/harm a character (in a movie, show, etc) to motivate another. What does fridge mean? To fridge a (usually female) character in a movie, television show, comic book, etc., is to kill them off or seriously harm/abuse/violate them in some way (as a writer) for the purposes of motivating or furthering the development of another (usually male) character. Fridging is considered, and widely criticized as, a storytelling cliché. (continued in next image)From the fridge entry in Merriam-Webster: Where does fridge come from? This use of fridge is attributed to comics/television/novel writer Gail Simone, who in 1999 published a list of over 100 comic book characters, all women, who were killed, injured, tortured, etc., on a website called “Women in Refrigerators.” The website’s name comes from an issue of a Green Lantern comic in which the superhero finds that his girlfriend has been murdered by a villain and stuffed into a refrigerator.
