So, once again, it turns out that giving poor people money helps them to become not/less poor. But I repeat myself. Again.

Lost in the conversation about the "merits" of "talented" men creeping on young women is how whatever contributions they have made to the medium is completely drowned by all the contributions their creeping has impeded. Women creeped on by their mentors/idols often just quit their dreams, betrayed.

It's been a sad year for foundational ape researchers - very sorry to hear about the death of Frans de Waal. Chimpanzee Politics was pretty mind-blowing to baby primatologist Erin.

Emory primatologist Frans de Waal remembered for bringing apes ‘a little closer to humans’

My unassisted, unmedicated birth + baby care cost $28,336.25. Luckily, I have fantastic insurance, but this is a good reminder that many people do not. A natural, physiological event should not require people to save and pay off for years due to mediocre insurance.
