Opting out of Grading →

world-shaker:
As an educator who abolished grading in 2004 and initiated a Grading Moratorium, I have an acute understanding for how grading sabotages learning. Because of this, I have drafted this letter for my daughter’s future teachers.
Dear teacher,
Kayley loves to learn and is very excited to start school this year.
Because the case against grades...

one upon a time there was a princess in a tower and a prince came to rescue her
“fuck off” she said “the tower has wifi, does your horse have wifi? i didnt think so.”
“what” he said because this was not how fairytales usually went
so she pushed him out the tower window and then went and posted about it on tumblr

i have an automatic hate for every single dance class that uses “girl” to mean “follow” and “boy” to mean “lead”. HATE. fucking seriously anyone can lead and anyone can follow. i could rant more about it, but just know that if you (dear reader) and i are ever in a partner dancing situation and there are instructors and they do this i will probably...

It seems to me that if we are concerned about women, including Muslim women, maybe we can work at home to make US and European policies more humane. If we want to be active in the affairs of distant places, maybe we should do so in the spirit of support for those within the communities whose goals are to make women’s (and men’s) lives better. Whatever we do, we...

Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.
She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”
Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his...

houseofmind:
So today I found a neuroscience review dealing with a far-out topic: the neuroscience underlying near death experiences (NDE) and other “paranormal” phenomena such as experiences seeing bright lights, meeting the dead or being convinced that you are dead.
According to Mobbs and Watt (2011), approximately 3% of Americans declare that they have had a near-death experience, which...

From New Zealand - a woman named Rachel Beer denied a spot in a homebrewing competition. Uh, that’s not right.
As the article points out, brewing beer used to be considered “women’s work” - since it involved food/beverage preparation and happened in the kitchen.

Link to the article. I realize it’s TMZ but there other reports out there too. Google is your friend.
After reading the article, it sounds like her restraining order came 9 months after the fact, “apparently.” I would never excuse a man for harming another woman, but do you think this...

That was fast.
A few days ago the news broke that the pending Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) was put on hold until consensus was reached.
Although the announcement was rather vague, some news sites and blogs declared SOPA dead, or “shelved,” or erased from history.
The 7 Stupidest Things That Make People Proud →
chris:
You know it must be good when I’m linking to a list post/Cracked article/combination of both - but this one struck a chord with me. Pride’s one of those things that I’m incredibly suspicious of to the point of debilitation, so it’s good to see some of my sentiments shared on a tongue-in-cheek humour site that probably doesn’t actually mean any of this stuff. Um. Have a read.

Did you guys hear what the FBI did today?
mero-chan:
They officially redefined rape to include male and female victims and removed the word “forcible” so that rapes that are not committed via physical force count as rape.
A victory for rape victims everywhere.

They are in desperate need of more black donors.
