flexagonI keep having these open in tabs. Time to post and close them.
270 reasons women choose not to have children. This page is definitely a superset of my own reasons -- the only big one of my own that I didn't see is "pregnancy and motherhood REWIRE YOUR BRAIN and that terrifies me. I don't want my brain rewired! I want at least a little bit of choice regarding who I love." But my favorite one on the page is the simple "I like to take naps".
I, Racist is quite good. It focuses mainly on how black people (should we just say "minorities"?) tend to think in terms of the group, where white people (should we just say "individuals who are part of the majority group"?) tend to think in terms of individuals, and feel individually attacked by discussions of majority/minority relations. Really interesting. I tend to think, maybe too simplistically, that such things would improve if we all thought more individually about everyone. I mean, I have minority status in some ways (woman in tech! woo!) and I hate hate HATE the idea of representing all women in tech in any way. But, at any rate, racism: frustrating issue for the ages.
7 ways to use stoic philosophy to improve your health and happiness -- Mark's Daily Apple gets around to reading Irvine. It's a good article, though not as good as the book it's talking about. I like the "control grid" idea a lot... "get out your graph paper. At the top – issue du jour. Across the page – what I have total control over, what I have some control over and what I have absolutely zero control over. Instant perspective if you’re honest."
10 signs you've got a good man is better than it sounds. He rarely hides wolf spiders in the popcorn bag at the movies. Yes indeed, I like that in a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend. Or anyone who happens to sit next to me in a movie theater, really.
