Republican mayor in the South becomes unlikely... →
mercybell:
Uvalda, GA - In this one stoplight town of 600 people, a Republican, conservative Christian mayor is digging in to fight a law that would criminalize assisting illegal immigrants — some of whom he considers amongst his closest friends. This lit up my heart.

Same-Sex Marriage is a Mixed Blessing “But this moment provides an opportunity to reconsider whether we ought to force people to marry — whether they be gay or straight — to have their committed relationships recognized and valued.”
While I definitely am thrilled and supportive of NY’s move to legalize gay marriage, and absolutely believe that everyone should have...

I'M A WOMAN, DAMNIT!
theorderofthings:
I don’t do many personal posts like I used to, but this feels too personal not to let it out. Collectively while living in Maine for 3 months then living in Brooklyn for 2 months I was called “sir” once. I’ve been in Arkansas for 9 or 10 days, and I have my old job back. Since this past Monday I have been called “sir” 3 times. I don’t want to allow myself for this to bother me,...

I’VE FORGOTTEN MY OWN REASONS!!!!

Um, you like it? Or you did at one point? Can you remember that? (If it’s too dire, just start drinking…)

I seem to emerge from my supervisor meetings feeling deflated, like I haven’t been working enough or on the right things. Or maybe it was just bad timing, in combination with a bunch of other factors: family stresses, financial stress, busting my arse to get a second draft submitted, not sleeping enough, not exercising enough, not having any days off the PhD for about a month. Since the...

I love a good infographic, and this is definitely one right up my alley. I love the changes that online learning is making to the staid old method of delivering education to students. Power to the learners!

beenthinking:
“It’s a magic that moves mountains, creates art, and starts wars, a magic that allows us to go on, both (literally) helping to create new life and also making it something worth living. At its best, it’s a feeling of everything finally working out. An integration. A completion. And to lose that - to have it and know it and then to lose it - that takes something awful out of us. We...

Day 12: Evaluate your current sources
Today’s task is to look at the sources you have and ask yourself the following:
Are they current?
Are they relevant?
Are they primary or secondary research?
Is secondary research okay to include?
Are there any sources that my sources cite that I may want to include?
Are there any I should take out?
These are great questions. I’m looking...

Lit review draft v2.0 submitted!
3.30AM. I have spent most of the last few hours trying to get rid of some adware/malware that jumped onto my system instead of, you know, actually working on my confirmation documents. Blerg!
Nevermind. I just emailed the second draft of my literature review to my supervisors, missing sections and all. But I’m not overly concerned. I decided to leave content out entirely for those...

The thing is that I have written thousands of words in really cohesive paragraphs over the last two weeks, creating work that I’m reasonably happy about at this stage of the drafting stage…but I still feel like I have so much to write and BOY AM I GOING TO BE HAPPY TO WAVE GOODBYE TO JUNE.
Also, 2.55AM. X-P
words we probably most definitely don't need:
insomnialy:
1. mingling - you’re an douche bag if you use the word mingling. do you know how many other words you can choose? a fucking lot. you don’t need to use this word. i especially hate you if you say you’re single and ready to mingle. if you’re single and ready to mingle you’re going to be singling and mingling for the rest of your life, so have fun. despite the fact that it’s an...

Washington - “80 Miles”
Why did you say that to me?
Eighty miles out on the sea

And you
Are built
With parts
Of me
Two things: 1) I love it when Megan is in this mode, just her lovely lovely voice and one instrument; and 2) I am reminded of London every time I hear this song, so much sometimes that I think I can conjure up my smell...

First official self-cite. I mean, this is an “in-house” document, in that I am not writing explicitly for publication but for a university assessment, but it still counts to me!
Credit where credit is due? ;)

April Smith and the Great Picture Show - “Wow and Flutter”
Don’t hate a girl
Because she knows
All the ways to get

Hey, you play those games
Down to the letter
You’re just mad
‘cause I play them better

Synchronicity, intimacy and productivity
A shortcut to customer and co-worker intimacy is to respond in real time. A phone call is more human than an email, a personal meeting has more impact than a letter.
On the other hand, when you do your work on someone else’s schedule, your productivity plummets, because you are responding to the urgent, not the important, and your rhythm is shot.
The shortcut analysis, it seems to me,...
