We can choose to be kind or to be evil to people around us.
But we shouldn’t choose to be kind to those who chose to be evil.

"Girls are caterpillars while they live in the world, to be finally butterflies when the summer comes; but in the meantime there are grubs and larvae, don't you see - each with their peculiar propensities, necessities and structure." - excerpt from 'Carmilla' by Sheridan Le Fanu

So we all know the Yiddish Book Center digital archive is amazing, but if you don't know a lot about Yiddish literature already it's hard to know where to start. I'm going to post some recommendations in this thread - feel free to post your own as well!

Can’t emphasise enough what an incredibly insightful discussion this is, with lots of points one rarely if ever hears elsewhere.
Must listen
Check out the latest Russia Contingency. I join the head of Lasar’s Group, one of Ukraine’s best and lesser known drone units to talk about their experience, how drone use is evolving, adaptation on both sides, and what the future holds.

I'm not sure my non-horsey audience is appreciating what is happening in this clip. Are people generally aware that
a) horses are social animals and groom each other, i.e. scratch each other's backs with their mouths
and b) that that behavior has probably never been represented in a video game?

In the yard overview in our game, horses are quite tiny. That won't stop us from making them as adorable as we possibly can 😤

Being nice to people is just fun. Asked young server at taco place how her day was going (fine but tired) and she asked me back. I said I managed to finish my to-do list and she unexpectedly gave me a high five! Treating people like people is always rewarding.

According to some Flemish folktales, ghosts live in trees. In one story, nobody dared to go near a pile of rotten tree trunks because it was said to bite and chew. In another, you could only pass a particular tree if you made the sign of the cross first.
