On Owning Up:
Through my humble 24 years of being a functioning human being, I’ve encountered many types of people. It’s said throughout child-psych that whatever emotional stigmas you form as a child stick with you pretty diligently as an adult. Well, this is definitely true, and while I’ve been able to gradually let go of trust issues (still working on this, especially in light of recent...

Amoebas in the water supply? →
In 2003, Francine Marciano-Cabral of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond and her colleagues identified one species of amoeba that is directly lethal — Naegleria fowleri — in water throughout the plumbing of an Arizona home where two young boys had recently died.

The Trouble with Bright Girls (Psychology Today)
Successful women know only too well that in any male-dominated profession, we often find ourselves at a distinct disadvantage. We are routinely underestimated, underutilized, and even underpaid. Studies show that women need to perform at extraordinarily high levels, just to appear moderately competent compared to our male coworkers.
But in my...

I've been passively liking your guys' posts most...
It’s my lazy Sunday, and I just don’t feel like exerting any measurable amount of energy to muster up coherent thoughts about what I’m taking in right now. I think I’m gonna take a shower and clean up around the house. I’ve literally been reading, watching documentaries and eating all day. I’m gonna go vacuum and put away my laundry.

– Bill Maher (via leftish)
I find Maher problematic. But there’s no denying that 80% of the time, the man is onto something. In this case, he’s entirely on it.
