I came across a street artist named Chiaka Howze in Pittsburgh in February 2020 and my friend showed him an image of Ardhanarishwara aka Siva Shakti to paint and he did an incredible job of bringing it to life. Happy Mahasivaratri🙏🏽

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

Looking for a non-fiction book I can sink into. Something along the lines of psychology, anthropology, or history. Science too but like an intriguing science book. No self help please and thank you.

It sure would be nice if teachers, librarians and parents could have some sort of assurance that the beloved Newbery Medal doesn't sit on the cover of a book written by a credibly accused sexual predator.
You know. Because the kids are watching. What will they learn? What are we teaching them?

Beware of men who shout from the rooftops about being feminist allies. In many cases, they’re the worst. It’s an act to make it easier to let your guard down and make it harder for people to believe you.

Whenever you read a metoo story in a serious publication and then see an apology that says that accused person wasn't perfect but that the worst allegations are false, remember: The former has been vetted by editors, fact-checkers, multiple accounts, and corresponding evidence. The latter hasn't.
