Since students hardly interact in class (especially in big lecture rooms), it sounds more reasonable to look for a new post-pandemic teaching system. The ideal system, at least to me, seems video lectures, to be watched from home. And instead of lectures, we do Q&A sessions.

Dear sex-positive friends with chronic pain... are you able to use natural endorphins in ways that help you feel better? Like BDSM, running, working out, tattoos, piercings, roller coasters? Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts/experiences.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy was elected after playing an unlikely president in a popular satirical tv comedy. His gravitas comes from his acting and from being a remarkable leader in a terrifying time, and this is a speech worth watching in full.
.@ZelenskyyUa's tv address to the Russian (!) people might be the most moving speech that I've ever seen in my entire life. The whole world needs to see, understand and share this crucial Ukrainian message. #StandWithUkraine #Ukraine #Україна #Russia #Россия

I truly hope that I can have a fraction of the bravery of the 13 Ukrainian soldiers who told a Russian warship to "go fuck itself" even though they knew what would happen next. May their memory be for a blessing.

The breathtaking bravery of the Russians who know they’ll be arrested for protesting this war and do it anyway.

O best beloved, if you are doomscrolling Twitter today, ask yourself if there is anything you can personally do. If there is, do it. If there isn’t, remember that anxiety is not activism. Your misery does not improve the world a single iota.

It appears likely that Zelensky, who won the last Ukranian election in a spectacular landslide, has been sentenced to death by Putin. Who was the last democratically elected leader targeted for political assassination by the government of an invading nation?

I lost my brother Andrew Vachss. I miss him deeply. We could talk so honestly to one another. I think of his amazing wife, Blood, Kin and Structure: A Conversation between Andrew Vachss and Joe R. Lansdale | Mulholland Books mulhollandbooks.com/guest-po…

It’s not easy being a working Mama! Genius #christinewada designed Sylvie’s costume & added concealed zippers so I could pump easily & nurse my baby between takes. Little (big) things like this that made it possible for me to do my job & be a parent. I’m forever grateful 💖
