silveradeptWe'll start with Zen Pencils, illustrating quotes of various lengths.
Past that, though, you may need to see if an infringing site has taken any fiction that you haven't specifically licensed for reuse from the Archive of Our Own or other locations. You can also directly complain at their webhost about the infringing behaviors.
On a different part of the path, the complaint that the dystopias of the future resemble the Westerns of the past, with both declaring the present is the best of all possible worlds...if you're white and relatively privileged, that is. Others are living your dystopia now.
Someone asks what all the black and brown people are doing in their comfortably-white TV, and concludes that it must be because of affirmative-action quotas. The reaction was universally dismissive and pointed out the racism inherent.
Bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater and the origins of the rage that most women have, because they keep getting treated like something less than people, in their personal lives, their professional lives, and their hobbies (including Maggie's clear knowledge of and love for muscle cars and things that go fast). Often perpetuated by nice guys who think they mean well.
The darker side is the dox, where someone digs up and posts personal information as part of a campaign to intimidate, harass, or attack, and to invite others to do the same. The Crash Override Network offers a guide on good ideas to do one you can confirm you've been doxxed among others, like ways of making it harder to be doxxed. In a perfect world, of course, people would not need this information, but there's still concerted campaigns out there to remove any idea or person that threatens the privileges of a tiny minority.
The pilot of an Airbus appeared to fly the plane deliberately into a mountain in France as an attempt at taking their own life, and also killing all the other passengers on board. And while there will be more mental health screenings and rule changes to try and prevent a situation where one person is left alone, the remaining questions really are whether care was available and affordable and whether they were in enough of a good mind to be able to take advantage of it.
it is poor form to say that those without disabilities have the experience of disabilities, as it allows for not having to talk to people with disabilities about people with disabilities. Or politicians get to think of disabled people as budget figures instead of people.
The Hugo Nominations for this year exposed the weaknesses of the process of nominating by allowing a slate of nominations advocated by persons of retrograde ideas about women and minorities. There's a very detailed explanation from one person that declined the nomination provided to them, and Lots of voices have weighed in on what happened and the implications thereof.
A long piece about what television is and does, set in 1993, but clearly predicting what television would do many years down the road. And, in some ways, it predicts the performance and broadcast ideals of social media, including our incredible anxieties at other people seeing our bodies, so many thanks totei for linking it to me in the social media post.
Anxiety at the mental health issue level is, like many mental health issues, not easily controlled or shut off, which can be a strain on the support network, but the lack of network is a much greater strain on the anxious. it also doesn't help if everyone assumes that the disabled couldn't possibly be good at things as well.
Exercise boils down to lifting things and moving the body on a regular basis. However that works for you, that's how it gets done. Whether with apps, playlists, shows, or pickup games, lifting things and moving the body is it.
Woe, says author, that we do not have forced social interactions, are not required to learn kinesthetically, and are being advertised at for every moment of our lives, such that we cannot focus due to the constant distraction. The point I agree with is the part where we really need to insist that the presence of adverts and what they do should be studied and possibly regulated, as they eat so much of our space, our data, our privacy, and do everything they can to get eyeballs. Not so much the part where everyone has to learn something with their hands and have concrete experiences. That leads to stuff like people still deciding to climb Everest even after the avalanche that killed several Sherpas last year or time spent in the barn or garage or kitchen with someone learning something that there's no interest in because it builds character or because it will be useful later on. (And yes, there's still some resentment even when those things do turn out to be useful later.)
I also suspect lots of people don't really want to be subjected to forced interaction or the whims of whomever is the person that feels in control. Taking the gym example, I wonder how many women feel better now not having to deal with the sexist conversation and various come-ons of degrees of subtlety because they can tune it all out.
What we need, instead, is the thinking behind an app that lets people swipe to indicate attraction, as Tinder does, but then places the power solely in the receiver's court on whether to respond, rather than letting the person swiping start the process, as Bumble does.
The Library of Congress needs to be able to keep up with the times, but the leadership isn't getting what they need or seemingly trying for it.
Raised by lesbians, but felt a lack of a father figure, so now against equal marriage FOR THE CHILDRENS. The criticism of the piece rightly points out the personal issues involved are bad, but they shouldn't interfere with the ability of living parents to marry and raise their children, as well as the cognitive dissonance required to be angry at a loving household that raised a child well, just because it wasn't heteronormative enough for the church ladies. Unfortunately, sometimes people who fight against marriage equality get awards named after someone who fought for racial equality...which is a giant WTF.
Soon, though, there won't be as many religious defenses to hide behind - Presbyterians in the United States approved marriage equality for church definitions and functions.
Elsewhere, an abridgement of the right to peaceful assembly resulted in the arrest of four Georgia women trying to stop a bill that would permit employers to discriminate on the basis of their own religion. And while nobody is claiming that the world of the story designated ILU-486 is our current reality, one might note that a story such as that is supposed to serve as a warning for avoidance, rather than as a blueprint to follow. Because the reasons for not wanting children are great and legitimate, and they are not a phase to be grown out of.
The solution to the problem of men choosing to hurt women over their own feelings is to prevent men from getting any sort of work where they might have feelings. It's a pretty simple solution to that problem.
Because of an error on her birth certificate, an Australian woman has had her passport revoked and her marriage annulled. Trying to get the error corrected has resulted in a bureaucratic nightmare. The error? She was designated male at birth. Which made her marriage between two men, apparently, and that wasn't legal at the time, so marriage and reason to be allowed to stay in Australia both gone. This is one of the many things we can avoid by supporting equal marriage and the ability to change a gender designation without requiring physical transition.
Watching the play of the book of your life is a profound experience, draws Alison Bechdel.
There has been introduced a bill that would eliminate the dark stain on our history called the Patriot Act.
Experiencing emotions is better for everyone around us than giving in to the relentless requirements of positivity, with bonus! methods for achieving a good end with not good emotions.
The X-Files will return to television, starring the actors that played Agents Mulder and Scully from the original series.
The song of the woman who never wants for a lover, despite all the messages saying she should have none. Which we're pairing with the experience of an artist who was asked to lighten the skin tone of a woman described to be of an ethnicity that precluded such an idea and the need to avoid devaluing femininity while advocating for equality. Including when things coded female are affecting men disproportionately, such as intimate and affectionate touch being coded as always sexual for men, preventing men from connecting through touch.
Sending work email outside of work hours sets bad precedents for you and your employees.
A Canadian food distributor is packaging the visually unappealing but entirely edible foodstuff into a generic bag and selling it at a discount to attempt to avoid wasted food. I suspect that even with that price discount, the food will be profitable.
And speaking of food, One instance of a thing does not an allergy make, nor necessarily even many, unless you can do as the scientists do and isolate a variable with a high correlation. Which can be difficult in normal human lives.
Many and varied ways of stuffed buns, dumplings, and stickers, which will be perfect when it's time to go for dim sum.
The parental exhortation to go outside and play may have benefit in helping prevent nearsightedness, as bright outdoor light appears to assist in the proper formation of eye structure for good vision.
Failure as a learning tool, and the failure of a convention that wanted to have people talk about failures.
Taylor Swift has learned how to play the publicity and celebrity game, and only now are people getting wise to it. I'm putting this next to the chairman of Google getting called out for repeatedly interrupting the United States Chief Technology Officer during a panel discussion he had with her. Doing the calling-out was a Google employee who no doubt knows what it is when she sees it.
To raise the daughter you want, treat women and your daughter like what you want her to be. And if they want princesses (whether boy, girl, or not decided yet), respect their choice and let them have princesses. And if they'd rather be witches, then witches it is.
The conception of being a badass needs to be updated to accommodate the part where stoicism is maladaptive, so that we get badasses who can emote and deal with the problems that arise from being exposed to problem situations. And perhaps those that realize that to believe in a meritocracy is to believe that the poor are that way because of their choices and work to make everyone the fortunate few.
Mr. Wheaton on appropriate valuation of relationships, combined with The Dude Social Fallacies as examples of when relationships are ready to be let go.
Arguments on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, on the unwillingness of the Mockingjay movie to really go for the PTSD, treating your characters as humans instead of constructs, and the realization that frankly, only you know whether or not you need to write or should stop.
Things that those in chronic pain are hoping you will learn.
In technology, the idea that the robots coming for our jobs should be allowed to take them, so long as everyone benefits from their production, instead of it being used to enrich those that are already obscenely wealthy.
Geometric figures as tattoos, which I suspect may also be used as mandalas and other meditation aids. Since ocean rocks make great mandalas as well. And speaking of mental tricks, methods by which one might defeat the armies of advertising tricks that encourage your brain to spend money. But back to patterns with coloring books and pages with intricate adult designs. Such that we can still create art in our choices of coloration.
A post delivery worker built a palace for themself solely from stones collected on their post route - only thirty-three years from start to finish. Staying in the architecture theme, new ways of looking at interiors of structures and beautiful entropy at work.
Engineering is always fascinating. Think about bridges built over highways to allow wildlife to cross back and forth safely. Not a bad thought at all to help avoid collisions. Add on to this an article from 2012 about an underground collective of persons restoring old and forgotten places and things in Paris, which takes an amazing amount of knowledge and skill to achieve, the need to defuse a bomb dropped during the Blitz when uncovered, and a new process that significantly speeds up 3D printing without requiring slicing of the object's model into layers, and engineering looks awesome. And then think about all the engineering involved in using inexpensive elements to organize otherwise chaotic spaces and creating large-scale pancakes with rice cookers.
Research into methods to send information through space-time continues. If successful, we can hope that the machine it uses looks like some of the machines in these laboratories.
Advice to writers about the important parts - the middle, where the experience lies. Also, books without a most common graph and copy editors' annoyances with English.
Also, necessary advice about the practice of giving advice so as not to be a tool. Which goes well with examples of guys being tools.
If you have an Android device and would like to be entertained, a list of excellent games for the platform, and then there are various excellent applications and more excellent applications to boot.
A fanwork that adds the world of Disney to the game of Cards Against Humanity.
Last for tonight, a photography series of women in various states of nudity, close to the point after they wake up from sleep, cats using dogs as pillows, aesthetically appealing minerals, and the Conscious Style Guide, aiming to make language usage not be weaponized.
Also, a great explanation of marginal tax rates, with a discussion of just how much the government owes the Marvel Cinematic Universe versions of Steve Rogers and James Barnes and what the taxes would be on that in the comments.
