silveradeptLet's start with something awesome. Read an eight year-old's account of discovering and pulling an ancient sword out of a lake in Sweden. Just about everyone else has already made the requisite remarks about swords distributed from lakes, so I'll leave off on that.
Therapists offer self-care tips because everything is awful.
An active-shooter drill in a Virginia school left a trans student on the bleachers while the cis students were sheltered in the locker rooms, because none of the faculty were willing to admit that the student had a gender and should hae been put where they wanted to go.
At least one agency of this current administration believes that laws and guidelines should define gender as the biological sex assigned at birth, which flies in the face of current practice and most federal law and court decisions. The definition is designed to appeal to a narrow band of extremists that believe anything outside the binary shouldn't exist and to withdraw governmental protections from real people to accomplish the ends of those extremists.
A reminder that if what you are doing involves another person, you should ask them whether they're okay with you adding them in. Because there's always the possibility that the other person is trying very hard not to be seen for good reasons.
A SWATter who had a very large brag list of what they had done, including things that resulted in deaths, has been given a lot more charges and the likelihood of significantly more prison time. Which is a very good thing, and hopefully might discourage others from trying in the future.
The easiest thing you can do to help learn someone's neame correctly is to keep practicing the pronunciation, aloud, until you get it right. Doubly so for educators and those of us who work with people where we need to speak names correctly.
Even Fred Rogers understood heartbreak and anger and seeing the lack of love. If we make him solely into a figure of good without understanding how much effort and understanding it took to do that good every day, and to advocate for a medium such as television and use it for what he did, we don't really understand how much we owe Fred Rogers.
More often than not, if someone calls you out on your language, it's contempt of the language they're expressing. If you misinterpret that to be some sort of special-snowflake-taking-offense gesture, then you're proving you're not interested in changing your language and avoiding harm. which might mean the contempt shifts from the language to the person, because being an asshole is contemptuous.
An argument that implicit bias is a focus meant to satisfy white fragility and desire to not be tarred with the brush of their ancestors, and that it distracts and takes focus away from what would actually work for non-whites to bring about equity, by returning the focus to the impact of the action, rather than searching for intent as bias does. The throughline of jurisprudence is important, as well, as it shows a court shifting away from the idea of addressing impacts to addressing intent, and thus telling itself it can do nothing because it can never find a conscious intent, instead of looking at the impact evidence freely there.
What would life be like if, instead of expecting women to stop wanting anything in public, we let women have desires, and wants, and let them pursue them with all the passion they wanted to, without censure or social disapproval?
Sometimes having the right music will help you get through the worst parts of your life.
Digital in comics uses some pretty serious technology to accomplish its ends.
Advice on overcoming the feelings that you're not good enough to do something, like speak at a conference, to submit an idea to the thing you're interested in, because, if it wasn't you doing the thing, there's a good chanvce that you would think the idea is great and should totally be on the program or in that compilation.
There are a lot more people who live farther than an hour away from even a community college than we might think.And thus, they have to make specific effort for anything beyond their required schooling. For some of them, that may be hardship.
Learning the reaons why the prestige of the school may not matter at all in terms of getting a useful education out of it.
On the difference between charity that doesn't lift everyone up and solidarity where everyone has shared vulnerability and lifts each other together. Which pairs somewhat nicely, if you think about it, with the idea of who makes decisions about pain relief and whether those people are working from the correct principles.
Fox needs to sell the X-
Men back to Marvel, because it's pretty clear they have no idea what they're doing with the characters. (Link is to the Mary Sue, pointing out already how mane problems the Dark Phoenix movie has before we know a whole lot about it.)
Mel and Sue, the charming, helpful, (and occasionally unintentionally interfering) hosts of the first few sessions of the Great British Bake-Off are getting their own comedy show about a pair of less-than-competent assassins.
The casting for Good Omens is a good omen for what the final product will look like.
The Good Place is a subversive story about whether the mentality taken as a given in every cop show is really a good one to adopt. (And jokes about what songs might inspire the most terrible of evil decisions.)
The AV Club suggests that Spider-Man is a favorite hero because, except perhaps for the spider-powers, we can relate to Spider-Man much, much more easily than we can for any other hero in the canon. Because, at his best, he's basically still the person from the neighborhood. Contrast, then, the way that Venom has been (more and more) about a romance between symbiote and host. Not necessarily a healthy and functional relationship, but one all the same. And the ways that Venom has been drawn very specifically to be attracted to, take the physique of, and enjoy the company of buff men over the years, although not always the same way because writers and artists and such.
More of the Marvel Cinematic Universe winds down, witht he cancelations of Luke Cage and Iron Fist, which may be seen as a possible move by Disney to grab more people for their streaming service by having it be the sole source of Marvel material. The House of Mouse certainly owns quite a few things at this point, to the point where the monopolistic grumblings and perennial copyright extensions might have created enough animus for someone to actually do something about not giving them their way...maybe?
The possibility that Agatha Christie's knowledge of the myriad ways to kill people expressed in her books came, at least in part, from volunteering as a nurse during large conflicts.
The art of George Quaintance: Kitschy, full of stereotypes about cowboys and Native Americans, but also full of muscled, mostly nude bodies. I think there's an apt comparison to Tom of Finland and that persons with more art experience than myself could have a field day and a paper or two analyzing them side-by-side.
Making the case that classics deserve to be taught in high schools as a way of showing the evolution of language and its uage over time, which I can go for, rather than specifically the case that they're works of literary merit that cannot possibly be criticized or brought into the light of our times.
Xan West on making sex scenes less full of cis-sexism (part 1 of a few), because trans readers are often very good at rewriting, especially smut, to make the experience better for themselves...at least until there's a description that makes the rewrite impossible. (also part one - more than a few examples of doing it better follow in the following parts) Then there's also some extra resources for writing trans and non-binary characters from the same person.
Jo Walton talking about genre in relation to pacing of a work, and how it's not just enough for a work to grab things from the toolbox and wave them about to be a genre novel, which is an interesting response to a question about categories that are somewhat always going to be flexible things. Genre has a lot of "if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck" to it, and the pacing of a story, and where the beats of the plot fall (and what those beats are, and in what order) are part of seeing whether it's a duck or not.
An audience should always be a consenting participant in theater that involves them. Asking for consent doesn't have to mean asking for volunteers, necessarily, but consent is important everywhere.
Ballet dancers in folded-paper outfits, photographed in places where they would not be out of place.
Cleanliness through change of underclothes - good linens, changed regularly, helped Tudor-era persons stay clean and fresh-smelling while respecting the inssitence that bathing was an easy way to get sick or dead. Spinning further back in time, the nine herbs charm, a piece of Anglo-Saxon poetry about herbs to use to keep and maintain good health against venoms.
For our own times, a policy guide for hospitals on working with, respecting, and getting actual excellent care for their intersex patients.
Scientists draw immunotherapy at work, which often helps you see how they view the process. There are enough drawings that the author collected to form a book of the drawings.
On the question of what relevant experience you may have for a job that's outside "have worked at this job".
Commonalities of spoken (and by extension, written) English that native speakers use but don't recognize, and that non-native speakers have to learn through practice. Attempting to make a guess about the changes in frequency of what things are being compared to over time, with some nice notes at the end about methodology and about what potential baises are being baked into the analysis (often by trying to remove other potential baises.)
Matters on the importance of spinning and weaving for the Greek cultures of BCE.
Two forms of utopianism, both based on the bodies humans see the most in their lives - solarpunk that looks to reverse the damage of oil and generate utopianism based firmly in living in harmony with nature and the other people around, and lunarpunk, which focuses on bringing forth utopianism by focusing on art, learning, and preservation of knowledge, including self-knowledge. (Tarot spreads for confronting one's personal demons.)
A most interesting way of redistributing wealth from the central province to the outlying provinces...by offering interesting incentives in return for citizens donating to their outlying province.
Most of you know that libraries do a lot more than just check out the materials, right? And there's a high probability that we have programs you might like, or at the least, space for you to put on programs that you would like. Or maybe a collection of shopping bags for you to peruse? A book made entirely of cheese slices? Or at least a place you can make a telephone call.
(Take a look at the Archiectural Digest tour of the New York Public Library.)
That is, assuming we don't have to close locations or stop offering service on particular days because we're underfunded. Or the library itself has to be constructed and funded in the first place. Because we need new philanthropists willing to invest in libraries as much as we need tax dollars to run them.
Every time someone starts moaning or complaining about how the kids aren't reading nearly as much anymore, I take a look at what they mean by this. In the case of this article, they mean that kids aren't spending long periods of time with books or other long-form reading, doing their reading in shorter bursts and constantly interrupted by their social media accounts. So it's not "they're reading less", it's that they're not spending a lot of time deeply entranced in a book. But to relax into a book, you have to be able to relax in the first place, and possibly have adults around you who can do the same thing. And you need something that's interesting, which is still a problem if all your recommendations don't have mirrors and windows in them.
A knit map of the sky, constucted mostly by machine, the never-built arch of triumph for an emperor, including hanged mermaids and other interesting details. Also, a rather extensive collection of ideas about magic from previous years, centering on Latin Christendom.
We found a manual for ninja techniques!
And also, a live book burning, performed on camera and broadcast by a preacher with less sense than money, because the damage costs shouuld be the smallest possible punishment inflicted there. Charges for willful destruction of public property or vandalism or any one (or hundred) of the things that are brought against taggers, graffiti artists, and the like could all be leveled here, with video proof of the destruction itself.
Sometimes, you are the person that makes someone else part of the lucky ten thousand...and when that's your job, that can be discouraging if you have to do it again and again.
Seeking a diversity of pomegrantes, a lake that's caustic, toxic, blood-red in color, and also home to a shedload of flamingoes, how a research project about cucumber trees became a story of espionage and defiance of government for a greater good, learning more than you may have wanted to know about how turtles mate, a gecko that made calls from a phone touchscreen, the question of whether having to adapt to human environments is making the intelligence of animals smarter, adaptation at work, with a local raccoon using an invasive species iguana for lunch, a caracal distracting and hissing at a lion that was looking to predate on her cubs, getting closer to figuring out how nature produces all of those fabulous colors (and how some parts of nature can shift those colors when needed), and the discovery of a network of interstitial fluid delivery systems that help explain previously not-well-understood ways that the body shuffles things around, including cancer cells and lymph. Cooooool.
In technology, attempting a gender reveal party with explosives seems just like the sort of thing that would start a raging forest fire. Oh, wait, it did. The nice thing is, there are procedures in place for when a child's gender turns out to be fire.

A Windows 10 update accidentally deleted the contents of the Documents folder, which is a big no-no for those that use the default settings for storing their stuff on a Windows machine. Eventually, Microsoft pulled the update because of the deleted folders. Microsoft has patched and released the the update again, with the hope that it will not delete folder data this time. Which it didn't, but it still borks certain file operations and doesn't let the user know that things have gone terribly.
If you're looking for something to blame for that, the development process for Windows might be a likely culprit.
Because of the way Gmail ignores the presence of dots inn an e-mail address, it would be entirely possible to run a phishing scam by sending fraudulent e-mails to an address that is not the canonical one. GMail doesn't currently warn about this behavior, or that something was sent to a non-canonical address, and so it's possible the key information could be overlooked.
The SurfSafe browser extension aims to tell you whether a picture that you see on the Internet is genuine or has been doctored or altered to fit someone's point of view, joke, lulz, or otherwise.
