The real Lord of the Flies: what happened when six boys were shipwrecked for 15 months
When a group of schoolboys were marooned on an island in 1965, it turned out very differently to William Golding’s bestseller, writes Rutger Bregman

Alright, where are my gifted kids at? You were smart and you never had to study and then you went to college and suddenly had to learn a new skillset overnight, that everybody else had years to learn, or flame out spectacularly?
That’s what talent is like.
That’s what talent is like.
In my experience, talent is a *detriment* to learning.
I didn't have to practice early on so I *didn't know how*. I didn't start to learn how to practice until my 30s! (When much of my life was taken up with parenting, so I didn't have time!)
I didn't start to improve as a musician until my 40s!

I'm going to say this again in case you haven't heard this one: I was a talented writer and it did *nothing whatsoever* because I hadn't put in the work, and I put in the work for ten years (subtracting the bit where I had to quit for my mental health) to write Witchmark
talent alone could *never*

Boxer Shorts Blues: My Path to Gender-Affirming Underwear in Prison
Getting what you need can be difficult in prison. Stepping out of the gender binary makes it harder — but not impossible.

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

Good thing about this cold is that I can't smell the paint from downstairs. I think how bad landlord paint jobs are should be studied. I couldn't do that terrible a job if I tried!

Excavation of the tomb of Akhet-Hetep at Giza revealed a monument to his mother Peseshet, the "Overseer of Women Physicians." She is the world's earliest known woman doctor, and practiced at the time of the building of the great pyramids in Egypt, about 2500 BC. #CelebratingWomen

Life drawing for Holbein's portrait of Thomas More, pricked for transfer. You didn't think More sat there for as long as it took to paint a portrait, did you? In the painting, More looks both sadder and more resolute.

Born on this day 1478, in London, Thomas More. Later a Sir and (to some) a Saint. Here in 1527 by Hans Holbein. A true masterpiece of portraiture!

We spend $5 without thinking — on coffee, snacks, or things we forget in minutes. But for a hungry child, that same $5 can mean a warm meal, medicine, or strength to survive another day. What feels small to us can be life-saving to someone else.

I really hope people advocating to ban kids from SM read this. Some kids are isolated by disabilities or circumstances. Furthermore, some kids grow up in abusive households. “Ideally, a child’s exposure to online worlds should be moderated by their parents” isn’t a reassuring sentiment for everyone
