Thinking back this morning on my buddy Sam's 2014 story about world-champion figure skater Barb Underhill's second career as an NHL skating coach. Pacific Standard was a good magazine!
The Woman Who's Teaching the NHL How to Skate
As one of the only female coaches in all of the four major professional sports, Barb Underhill is carving out an important legacy, both on and off the ice.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

Go on; have a read, it’s a lovely Christmas Eve tale.
The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

Interesting look at a kidney stone under an electron microscope; I always though it was painful because you were pushing an object through a hole too small for it to easily pass, but no it's literally just razor sharp crystals too.

I'm seeing varied takes on this, and I just want to say as someone who used to work as a labor archivist, looking at the history of unions and labor laws:
Your job does not love you. Your job does not care for your well being. It is good to have a life outside of your job. Say no to time theft.

Man answering his phone on the train: Yes? Correct, I’m not at work (pause) I’m not going to answer that because I am not at work today. No, you’re going to have to ask someone who is. Goodbye.
