"Solitude, if rightly used, becomes not only a privilege but a necessity. Only a superficial soul fears to fraternize with itself."

Happiness road

@medievalists I need help finding sources - I'm planning a lesson on Poe's the Pit and the Pendulum, and I want some material covering #medievaltorture. I know you often say that it is overstated and there's writing from the time denouncing it, but I am not finding anything except Peter's article which isn't safe for school because it's mostly about the pear of pain. Any recommendations? This is for Grade 11 (16-17 year old) ELA students with little to no medieval history. #inquisition #confess

The Washington Post union is striking on Thursday, 7 December, and they’re asking people to not cross the picket line:

“For 24 hours, please do not engage with any Washington Post content. That includes our print and online news stories, podcasts, videos, games and recipes. Instead, share information about our strike and send a letter to Post leaders in support of the people who make this institution run.”

#dnd tip from the archive: The day after your game, think about how it went and jot down your own tips.

Most brokers and fund managers who mislead working or middle class families will never face scrutiny, much less at the national level. Let's try to keep that in perspective when we hear about how terrible this one man is.

Even if his crimes were entirely unique and exceptionally heinous, he is still entitled to be present and aware for any hearings about him. You don't lose the right to equal access by being indicted
