dhuartson: Don't let anyone talk you out of spending $15 on a new hobby. That $50 will be the best $400 you ever spent.

This is not wrong.

Fun fact: Women's sports are segregated not to protect women, but to protect *men* from losing *to* a woman.

"The zone has undoubtedly been shaped by radiation but also, crucially, by abandonment and time. As a consequence, the usual ecological rules no longer apply and this has meant Chernobyl now has some remarkable wildlife." theconversation.com/40-years-on-...

I'm making one last push to let people know about this online talk -- sponsored by the British Library in conjunction with their current exhibition on fairy tales. The live stream starts at 7:30 tonight, but if you buy a ticket *before* the event you can watch it any time over the next 7 days.

Fascists and Nazis hate history, and historians; but understand the power of history. Thats why, across the world, they work so hard to control HOW we tell stories about the past, to drive out diverse critical voices and perspectives, to ensure a narrative that makes them look good.

You can find the table in this reddit post where your screen reader will work nicely with it: https://www.reddit.com/r/murderbot/comments/1sp5s88/a_straightforward_guide_to_all_the_murderbot/

My friend is reading The Murderbot Diaries by @marthawells.com, which inspired me to finally make this guide to the series.

I'm pretty proud of this table. I tried really hard to make it easy to understand, since most sources for this information are pretty confusing.
