Occasionally humanity surprised me. The restaurant @bellmore.bsky.social & I are at lets customers pay for a meal in advance for community members who can’t afford a meal. G’s Bar & Grill Oscoda, MI

Cork board with a handwritten sign that says "Pay it forward.
Hungry? Hard times?
Grab a *Paid Ticket* if you're hungry! Want to support the cause? Ask a server."

Beneath it are three receipts posted for meals that say, "PAID".

If you’ve been in academia long enough, you should already know this and if you don’t, you might be part of the problem.

Same. my family wasn't dirt poor but we were a step beyond that and obviously had no connections. I was really shocked how much that 1) academia is not meritocratic the way it's advertised and 2) how many of my fellow travelers came from incredibly wealthy families

I will treasure it always

A three-panel cartoon shows a blue parent telling a small purple child, “Son, this has been passed down in our family for generations,” then handing them a small wooden box and saying, “I want you to have it now.” In the final panel, the child opens the box to reveal the label “mental illness.”

This is one of the best documentaries that I've seen in a very long time. It balances poetic storytelling with expository heft. Even if you know the historical arc, this film likely adds depth to your cultural analysis of who is a zombie and why we make zombies.
