Jan. 2nd, 2019 03:21 pmI (and ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ursula) am soliciting topic suggestions for a post-a-day in January meme. Here's her suggestions page and mine.(I am working off about four hours of sleep thanks to a helpful dog, so I am going to be taking a couple of days to write things up. nrgh.)
rydra_wong is recruiting tips and books that a doctor-to-be should read, ideally to improve their prowess as a practicing physician. Current target is general practice, but mental health books and bonus stuff for neuroatypical folks is a big plus.
jadislefeu has an enticing list of recent poetry. I like poetry, so I'm pleased to see it.
viakabarett, a PhD-specific form of 2048 that has had me laughing in painful recognition over the course of this week.
wanderingnork found out about the Great Emu Bubble in Texas, which has apparently resulted in feral Texan emu flocks. Amazing.
franzeska is thinking about bisexuality, fandom, and bi culture.
runpunkrun is also doing weekly roundups, although theirs are on Saturdays. I'm pleased to be doing mine mid-week--the more people do them at different times of the week, the less likely we all are to get Super Overwhelmed.
Relatedly--apparently the kids are calling slash something else now?!? My, I feel old.
From Metafilter, Jonestown victims have a lesson to teach us, so I listened. That lesson has an awful lot to do with race and who gets remembered--and forgotten--when we tell the narrative of tragedy.
What's glitter, anyway?

What is glitter? The simplest answer is one that will leave you slightly unsatisfied, but at least with your confidence in comprehending basic physical properties intact. Glitter is made from glitter. Big glitter begets smaller glitter; smaller glitter gets everywhere, all glitter is impossible to remove; now never ask this question again.
Ah, but if you, like an impertinent child seeking a logistical timetable of Santa Claus’ nocturnal intercontinental journey, demand a more detailed definition — a word of warning: The path to enlightenment is littered with trade secrets, vapors, aluminum ingots, C.I.A. levels of obfuscation, the invisible regions of the visible spectrum, a unit of measurement expressed as “10-6 m” and also New Jersey.
