Shovel The Stuff! May-June 02019
Jun. 15th, 2019 09:37 pmLet's begin with an issue of the Canadian Journal of Disability Studies exploring the intersections between disability and fanfiction, which complements nicely The Journal of Transformative Works and Cultures issue on fans and creators of color and their interactions.
Fork Theory, a complement to Spoon Theory, that says everyone has a certain amount of being stabbed with forks that they can tolerate before everything unravels. And pulling out forks can take spoons, so sometimes people do a lot more and longer-lasting damage than they might otherwise think.

melannen is asking for information about pain, pain tolerance, what causes pain, and how people perceive it, with some pain scales that seem much more suited to those with chronic pain or the acuteness of the pain rather than the not particularly helpful one that might be in use in most medical offices.
This year's Wiscon Guest of Honor speech from Charlie Jane Anders highlights a certain amount of being okay with being silly and with not having all the answers. I'd call it Zen, but specifically the sort of Zen (which may not be Zen at all) practiced by the Dragon Conspiracy and its members in Ozy and Millie (and that clearly bleeds through into Phoebe and Her Unicorn).
( And yet more, as is the usual case )
Last for tonight, having someone enter your house and clean it is unnerving, so say the least.
rachelmanija requested the most recent scientific material one has on food, nutrition, weight, and so forth. The comments respond in droves. As well as more than a couple justifications for the Space Orcs trope. Having a relationship with food that doesn't rely on starvation, guilt, or other stressful feelings probably helps.
Ballet done intergenerationally between preschoolers and seniors.
The way we signify fairy stories is different across cultures and places.
Leaning on the image of the biker to provide safety and security for children that are victims of abuse.
And A song, in words and ASL, about the fraught negotiations between opposing parties when at least one of them feels their lives are on the line.
