So the part I don’t get is how participating in a high-stakes athletic tournament that determines the trajectory of her career is less stressful than talking about a tournament. It kind of reads to me like she’s using the mental health excuse to cut off a form of media access she doesn’t have full control of and…

So his lawyers have just learned nothing from how the trial went, then.

So this article doesn’t actually bother to list the indications for depression assessment, just says that it’s important to look for them.

For reference, Carnival/Mardi Gras started as a festival themed around force-feeding Jews, stripping them of clothing, and forcing them to run through the streets while jeered and pelted by the crowds. Even today, antisemitic floats are a standard part of European observances. Maybe don’t start pointing fingers at…

An even closer comparison would be to accuse anyone who participated in Mardi Gras/Carnival of antisemitism, given its origins as a Jew humiliation festival.

To do one better, can you imagine the meltdown they would have had if someone was (accurately) corrected that “Palestine” isn’t an actual polity or that some biblical figure didn’t live there?

The funny thing is that I understood every part of the corporate jargon part of the example (synergy is kind of like symbiosis but more logistical, leveraging is what you do with anything that exists but hasn’t really been used as a key part of strategy yet, stakeholders is everyone effecting and affected by policy…

There are real reasons to be hesitant about calling CPS if you suspect abuse or neglect. To start with, it’s important to recognize that Black children are disproportionately represented in the child welfare system. Black parents are also reported at higher rates, they’re more likely to be investigated by child…

Is there any confirmation of the “of” there? The CNN writeup says “in connection with” and I don’t thing there’s been any reporting indicating she was the intended/primary target.

I’m just happy it’s not the Jewish girl/woman for once. It’s a weird trend.

And, don’t forget, a rich white woman who steals from a working-class family.

Pretty much the only way I could imagine a Cruella origin story working is with a framework like All About Eve, We Care A Lot (but competent), or Turnabout Intruder (but more competent and explicit about her perception not matching reality), in which she gets ahead through being a terrible person and blames all her…

For a more long-term strategy, consider lobbying your school to expand its holiday calendar (Sukkus and Pesach are well-timed for fall and spring breaks, and actually serve as such in Jewish and Israeli schools) and make Fridays half-days, as the credit hours will generally be made up by chipping away at summer.

Now to play “find the obscure and seemingly unrelated state law” for how the five peers will be charged for bullying to suicide.

This is one of those things that sounds nice as long as you have children as a thought experiment rather than beings with actual characteristics. As my wife says about the girl in her class we’ve dubbed “Yelly” (a nickname the spouse of one of my wife’s coworkers was able to guess the identity behind, despite not…

A big thing to look for when asking about technique/grounding is coherence, basically if the therapist understands the technique and explains it accurately (it may help to research afterward). This can tell you if the therapist knows what he’s doing and is actually applying the technique in a systematic approach…

According to the histories I’ve heard, basketball was not doing well prior to three-pointers being introduced in 1979, and it likely took a while to recover. I think that’s why Magic Johnson tends to have more recognition and Larry Bird is similarly more esteemed than Bill Russel.

You/you/yur.

Some plants are PH-sensitive, which can be an issue with coffee. I do it anyway.
