Three Things: U Mad?

Y’all, I hope you had a restful weekend filled with good meals, good company, and dragons messing up alllllll of the things. I rescued two baby possums off of the road in Oakland, so shoot me note if you are interested in harrowing tales of urban critter capture.

What I’m reading this morning:

  • From Teen Vogue: Most Women You Know Are Angry — and That’s All Right.And when Laurie Penny writes “Society can cope with girls who are "broken" — but girls who burn with fury are a problem, and they need to be controlled,” I am THERE.

  • Last week, a 10-page document was “widely shared among many of the company's software engineering teams” at Google. It “argued that the representation gap between men and women in software engineering persists because of biological differences between the two sexes.”

  • The BBC takes a look at the impact of a devastating recessive gene on a biologically isolated population in Short Creek in The Polygamous Town Facing Genetic Disaster.

On another note, back in my younger days I fancied myself a photographer, so this weekend, with seed funding from MumAndDadCo, I purchased a belated birthday present for myself. If you want to see some of my test shots, my dogs are now glamour models.

I love you folks, and I love that you let me visit you every morning :)
