Should mention it here, too: November means I'm soliciting ideas for this year's December Days prompt. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Let's begin with the understanding that having an elite education by itself does not make someone part of the elite.
I'll pair this with a guide for maxing maximum visible progress on cleaning a space for the reason that sometimes you need to know both the things you got the high-class education for and the things that make living bearable.
And then give you the endorsement here about how a to-be-read (or played) list can and should be discarded, ruthlessly weeded, labeled, and otherwise returned to a state where reading something off of a list will be enjoyable and fun. On top of that, I also recommend Nancy Pearl's 100-minus-age method of determining whether a book should be finished. (Subtract your age from 100. The book has that many pages to convince you to read further. The decision to read further can be revoked at any time.)
In counterpoint to shredding your TBR pile, the idea that having a library of unread material is useful in reminding people of what they do not know, and fostering intellectual humility from that. And the other benefits related to children growing up in a house that has books to hand.
( All this and more inside )
Last for tonight, Solomon Howard sings You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch and it is delightful. Excepts from a biography of Carrie Fisher, including the reach she had and the movements she inspired.
The surreal photography of Miss Aniela, putting elegant evening wear in the same context as fantasy photography. And also, the winners of the 2019 World of Wearable Art Awards.
PostModern Jukebox takes a medley of Super Mario themes and lets a very good tap dancer provide embellishment. And, for comparison, the main theme of Game of Thrones, performed primarily by handbells. And also, the process of turning a carrot into a functioning recorder.
Also, the possibility that Tetris and other visual-spatial games might help reduce the incidence of flashbacks in those that have suffered traumas.
The ways in which the stories of Ursula LeGuin were profoundly interested in change and imagination of something different, if not also better than what was there.
