Percival Everett has said: “Since telling the South Carolina State Legislature in 1989 that I couldn't continue my address because of the presence of such a conspicuous sign of exclusion [the confederate flag], I have not really considered South Carolina.” This is a wickedly subversive story, about symbols and their meaning. "The Appropriation of Cultures" was written in 1996, and published in Everett's 2004 story collection, Damned If I Do, by Graywolf Press.WORD for WORDcast is Word for Word Theater Company's podcast.

Olá pessoal, tudo jóia? Aqui quem fala é o Luiz e o assunto do WordCast de hoje é a atualização do Google Search que aconteceu agora em Maio de 2020. Em 4 de maio, o Google começou a lançar uma grande atualização em seu algoritmo. Eles chamam de atualização essencial porque é uma grande alteração no algoritmo deles, o que significa que afeta muitos sites. Para ter uma ideia do tamanho da atualização, o SEMRush Sensor, que monitora o movimento dos resultados no Google verificou uma mudança abrupta no ranking dos sites. E a dúvida que todo mundo fica é: o que acontecerá com o tráfego agora? Felizmente, na maioria dos casos o tráfego aumentou. Se não tiver, não entre em pânico. Continue ouvindo esse episódio e que vou dar algumas dicas bem importantes.
