I haven't read this yet, but based solely on the blurb, a conclusion that makes just as much sense is that children with high SOCIAL aptitude flourish in the traditional school environment.

It’s the 57th anniversary today of French researcher Michel Gauquelin offering the people of Paris free personal horoscopes — and then sending all 150 respondents the horoscope of Marcel Petiot, France’s most notorious mass murderer

Well, it’s 55 years to the day since French researcher Michel Gauquelin put this advert in Ici-Paris offering free personal horoscopes…

I discovered LDG when I was severely depressed and didn't really leave the house but needed some kind of human exposure, and it was very soothing. I never attend live b/c of the time zone difference, but the classes come with a recording that you can watch on your own time.

Related, I LOVE taking art classes with the London Drawing Group-- their classes are pay-what-you-can and accessible to all skill levels, and some of them are FUNKY. They have an upcoming class called "How to Embrace Mistakes." www.eventbrite.com/o/london-dra...

Another thing that feels like a luxury, though maybe this is just me, is giving myself permission to play with art supplies w/o feeling like I need to make anything, like literally just to play. :)

There's good science behind the health benefits of "forest-bathing," so that's an awesome option if you have a safe place to do it! I read a study about how experiences in nature (or "near-nature" like looking at paintings of natural scenes) are a valuable treatment for chronic overstimulation.

haha, honestly this is mostly important w/ carbonated beverages, coffee is way less abrasive. HOWEVER, it seems that eating cheese can help minimize these effects; compounds in cheese adhere to your dental enamel and form a protective barrier. Which sounds nice but also you have cheese teeth.

Not to downplay the beauty of nature on its merits, but I do think the wood in the foreground looks like an anthropomorphized rabbit playing a guitar #MaynardMA

That’s the distinction between Star Wars and Star Trek. In Star Wars the ultimate evil is a tempter figure, it’s Satan, it’s someone whispering look what you can have if you learn to hate. In Star Trek the ultimate evil is a voice impassively telling you to stop caring, it doesn’t matter if you care

I don't disagree, but for your consideration I posit two notes re: brushing your teeth AFTER you drink coffee: (1) minty fresh mouth makes coffee taste gank, and (2) the acidity in coffee temporarily softens your tooth enamel, and brushing during this often 1-hr period can damage your teeth.

Look at that face. St. Lawrence was an early treasurer of the Church, and when the Roman emperor Valerian demanded he hand over the riches, he gathered a bunch of poor people, disabled people, widows etc, and said, "this is our true wealth," and now he's the patron saint of COMEDIANS

Remember that guy whose wife got picked up by ICE and he was like “this is a nightmare, this is awful, still support Trump though!”, I don’t think people learn from suffering in a rational way, certainly not in a way you can predict, goading on suffering might do the exact opposite of what you hope

No one wants suffering, by anyone. But the sad truth is that those who voted for and support him will NEVER realize the reality of their folly until they or their family members are directly harmed by his whims and feckless policies. We sounded the alarm, he told them the truth, and yet .....

Thank you for this. :( It truly sucks, but it's so easy to miss all the niche ways the anti-science, anti-academy administration is fucking things up globally.

Weird: on either side of this mural there is a child with water (?) gathered in its skirts, being pulled away from the naked man by its hair
