We begin with the importance of reading things again - the second read often reveals more about the book than the first. Additionally, the ability to write plot that doesn't have a conflict.
And then, the wonders of evolution...that produce drug-resistant STIs.
Also important, useful information for those who menstruate.
Also, people that believe modern expression has taken away from the Platonic ideal expressed in older times. To which, for spite and malice, I present classic dance sequences set to Uptown Funk.
The Dead Pool double-whammied us with Ziggy Stardust / Jareth, King of the Goblins, at 69 years and Hans Gruber / Severus Snape / The Metatron at 69 years, both to cancer. (David Bowie and Alan Rickman)
If you want to visit the national parks of Canada, go in 2017, when admission to the parks will be free.
Having an extensive vocabulary of curses is an indicator that someone's vocabulary outside of curses is pretty good, too. which goes with more of the idea that putting in practice at something improves skill to match taste and a book to assist in building fantastical creatures using anatomy and what follows from there.
A short comic about coming to the realization that someone is ace, along with a peek inside what happens to the partner whose husband transitioned to be a man during their relationship and a partnership where both people are pregnant at the same time.
The women's versions of products, otherwise identical, are often significantly more expensive. This is just one of the ways women get shut out - there aren't nearly enough women making culture and media without the aid or oversight of men. And media is only slowly coming to appreciate works with "unpleasant" women in them, while qualified veteran pilots are excluded from a national cemetery because they are women and powerful celebrities amass significant amounts of accusations against them and still manage to keep the benefit of the doubt because they are men.
Having enjoyed the ability to consume and dispose that comes with perceived economic good times, many are now returning to the idea that products should last for an extremely long time, and be made repairable for further longevity.
Peek in at a game writer for Bioware.
There are more stories about women falling in love with other women than there are movie plots about it. Because real people have intersecting identities, like queer and Muslim.
People also have to deal with other people doing shit and the emotional damage those attacks cause.
Some things that may help prepare you for and get you through the next depressive episode, along with other things that might help blunt the impact of emotions.
There needs to be black Hermione, because black Hermione represents so, so much to many more people.
A TEDx talk about trying not to take it personally when someone tells you the thing you said or did is -ist, which covers the thing that grates the most on hearing it - it's not that you are a bad person because you said a racist thing, it's that you're a good or bad person depending on what you do afterward.
One should not have to rehearse a process that likely ends in death - instead, one should try to do something about the situations that lead to those deaths.
Finland had changed the educational system to focus on clusters of things together in a topic, rather than disparate subjects with no admitted relationship to each other.
A rape account was handled incredibly poorly, including charging the woman reporting with a false report - when it turned out her account has been true, and she had been victimized by a serial rapist. To the credit of the city involved, the police department received additional training and the city apologized, cleared records, and settled with the victim.
The X-Files can still exist in a world that had 11 September 2011, because it was ultimately a story about the characters. Characters the show creator said were in a strictly platonic relationship.
Fans see actor roles in relation to each other, such that similar characters at different points in the actor's career often end up with fanon about one transforming into the other over time.
One of the most famous bridge collapses of the United States happened not from resonance, but from flutter and a cable that failed.
That which is billed as easy and quick cooking is only so if you are a chef or aspire to be one.
Selling used books on the Internet for a cent plus shipping can turn a profit, so long as your sale volume is big enough.
Opera singers on taking care of the vocal instrument and avoiding sickness.
Wonderful photographs from a collection called "butch" that celebrates those who choose masculine appearance and/or identify as male.
A founder of the Pirate Bay points out that the Internet is replicating a toxic society instead of overthrowing it, and says it is a better idea to let the society be destroyed and take the Internet with it, so that whatever comes next will be built on a better society. He's probably also not happy about the way that streaming sites have taken up most of our bandwidth.
A segmented worm toy for preschoolers will change its behavior based on the way the segments are assembled, giving preschoolers the opportunity to learn about robotics programming. The rest of us get things that Star Trek did well and paved the way for others to do the same with. And The understanding that video games can help with depression and anxiety, by forcing focus or allowing for low-risk interaction.
Here are some things you may want to disable in Windows 10, which we put by An algorithm that generates a passpoem of excellent entropy and iambic pentameter, trying to make passphrases that are both secure and memorable in the xkcd vein.
By changing the category number on the end of a Netflix URL, it's possible to access the many incredibly specific categories Netflix uses to tailor movie recommendations. If you use services intended to make it possible to watch Netflix offerings in other countries, Netflix intends to make it harder for you to watch content not licensed in your country, because the copyright holders think their distribution deals and ideas will be less effective if people can just watch it.
In a different societal failure, striving for your ideal does not require sacrificing everything in pursuit of it, but it can require that you do your best not to shut out genuine allies and people on the same path you are. Of course, even people who are allies can screw it up pretty easily.
There's ways to notice when privilege is at work, understanding that those who benefit from the privilege won't give it up, not after being systemically told that's the only thing they have. And then they protect that small thing with great violence, while abdicating the responsibility to educate and mentor children and the ways they can be thoughtful and appreciative without appropriation.
A founder of The Toast talks transparently about the finances of running the site and the luck they have had so far about profitability and not having lots of debt incurred and the general ideas behind much of the content on The Toast.
Staying on writing, a profitable ghostwriter tells young writers to do the same if they want to make a steady income, instead of gambling that their own prose will be saleable.
The current backlash against non-white, non-male protagonists appearing in media everywhere is a tantrum being thrown by people who don't want to have to share and who are now getting a taste of what all the other reindeer have been experiencing the whole time. By focusing too much on the past and the future, they cause great harm in the present. And even if they thought were being worse for them, understand that women start out with the same ambitions men do, but lose that ambition faster than men do, due to many aspects of patriarchy, like a lack of role models, the Smurfette Principle, and, oh, yes, the copious amounts of misogyny in the workplace.
The way the current War on (Some) Drugs is structured, life expectancy in developing countries is going down due to the step up in violence.
Princess Leia is, by far, the most important character in Star Wars, for reasons in the universe and out of it.
A very useful guide of ingredient weights and volumes. Also, common things that should be recyclable, but aren't.
There exists a corps of people who volunteer for the tricky task of detangling yarn that had knotted itself horribly.
Pictures of life in New York City in the 1950s, discovered many years after they had been taken. Also, color footage of Toronto in the 1940s, the best pictures taken by drone, and the same apartment floor plan ten times, with different furniture inside.
A digitized lift the flap book from the 17th century, covering the subject of anatomy. Contains crotch demons.
See inside a cave that has developed an entire ecosystem of its own, since the top of it collapsed early enough to allow in vegetation and waterfalls. Then, wood cut and painted like gemstones. And then, pictures taken by things and people in space. (Additionally, heliocentrism makes maths calculations a lot easier.)
Yes, there is a network of scientists who help films and television shows make their science fiction more science-y.
Following the chain of vendors for solar projects sometimes leads to prison labor paid less than a dollar per hour for the work, monkeys have been trained for a long while to pick coconuts from trees, and current formulations of sunscreen are causing coral reef damage. Oh, and while they aren't now, it's possible that the manufacturers of personal trackers could sell your health data to other parties.
Vegan cheeses are pretty competitive with dairy cheeses for taste, texture, and behavior, although more than a few cheeses produced in the world cannot be imported to the United States, since they are made with unpasteurized milk.
The story of a dog's life, illustrated. Very heartstrings-yanking, especially if you've ever lost a pet if your own. Recommend against viewing unless you really want to cry. Same for Rhianna Pratchett remembering her father and his accomplishments.
A leash-trained cat takes excellent vacations, tiny animals taking baths, more wildlife photographs, rescued owls, elaborate cat perches and walkways, what magpies actually do,
and animals think and be social, sometimes like, sometimes unlike, sometimes in cooperation with, humans.
Last for tonight, musings on the reality of Canada and pleasant surprises of the immigrant experience.
