Let's begin with the women Maya softballers who play barefoot and have to deal with machismo culture that says sports aren't for women.
A second malaria vaccine is now being deployed in African nations. Woo-hoo! More effective malaria vaccines is good.
A possible good development for a twice-yearly injectable PrEP drug against HIV, and if it bears out in the rest of the trials, may scale up and be offered as an alternative to the oral daily PrEP currently available.
Actress Shelley Duval, complications of diabetes, 75 years of age. Known primarily for either Faerie Tale Theater or The Shining, from the looks of the obit, but I would have seen her in Time Bandits and Roxanne, so I suppose that says something about my film choices.
Dr. Ruth Westheimer, extraordinarily well-known therapst whose frankness about sex and talking about sex made her an instant hit and allowed her to discuss things that might not ever be discussed, at 96 years of age. We need her even more than ever, but hopefully there are plenty of others who have taken up her frankness and good cheer about good sex.
Richard Simmons, often a man thought of in the same general arc as Jane Fonda in workout and fitness videos from the 1980s and 1990s, but also a man who was routinely both comedic and the target of other people's comedy, and not always kindly, at 76 years of age.
Shannen Doherty, actress in 90210, Charmed, Little House on the Prairie, and Heathers, at 53 years of age. Fuck cancer forever. Also, if I recall correctly, very prominent with regard to #metoo and generally okay with being outspoken.
( And there's a lot more underneath this cut )
Last for this post, A conversation between scholars and guards about the many names of "Stick-Elf", the wizard with excellent pipeweed and fireworks.
And The Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure blog, dedicated to popping myths about the family, women's employment, and other social structures in the recent and less recent past.

meta_warehouse community, little_details, and anyone else I've neglected to mention or who I suspect would rather not be on the list. If you want to know where I get the neat stuff, my reading list has most of it.)
