Well, of course they did.

> A study found that when a person dressed as Batman was present in a subway car, passengers were significantly more likely to offer their seats to a pregnant woman (67% compared to 37% without Batman), with 44% of helpful passengers not even consciously noticing Batman's presence. The research suggests unexpected events can promote prosocial behavior by interrupting people's mental autopilot.

I am someone who rarely drinks anymore. But when I do, the very first thing that starts to show up for me is a feeling of love and appreciation for all kinds of humans. It's a great thing to experience — appreciation, awe, admiration. An absolutely delightful state.

Have to say, Mastodon is such an amazing place — scrolling through posts right now brings me great delight. You folks are so amazing. Social networking done all kinds of right.

❤️🤩

So, one of my favorite teachers, #BernieReim, was in a terrible car accident. He is on #Medicare, and, well, he has a long way to go to recover, and Medicare isn't going to cover a lot of the costs.

As an instructor, Bernie let me do all my team exercises solo (I didn't want the jocks I had been paired with to bring my grade down, and didn't want to do all the work for them), listened to my sharing about the math involved in astrology (which is how I learned to hand-calculate logarithms), and also let me submit a painting of a galaxy as a final project! In addition to teaching #Astronomy, Bernie is a regular on WMPG, and also volunteers at the local observatory.

Please share and donate if you can. Bernie is a good human, and only has his friends and community for support!

CBC Radio: How an abandoned couch brought joy and mystery to an English village. “It was a flash of inspiration that set the community photo project in motion.

For weeks, he’d passed the same discarded two-seater sofa, abandoned on a patch of waste […]
