The Curator's Choices

Any idea what a coelacanth is? @mountainwashere has come down off his mountain long enough to tell you. As usual, he makes teaching ... interesting. Check it out.

I swear to goodness, I don't know how @tremendospercy puts out all these words ... and makes them fascinating. As usual, you may need a bathroom break and a snack to get through this post, but you'll be glad you invested the time. Nations in many parts of the globe now teeter on the line of serious revolution. I can feel one coming here. It's just a matter of time -- and how bad it will be when it finally breaks.

@tremendospercy goes into considerable detail on three more places where trouble is bubbling. Catch up on what's happening. He's done all the legwork for you.

Debt. It can weigh you down worse than anything ... and we all have to come to terms with it somehow. How much you can carry and how you arrange to deal with it? @hopehuggs talks about the emotional load -- and some options.

And now we come to the cooking part of our program as @awakentolife takes on bruschetta. It's a great idea, and he makes it look easy. Whip up some of these for that snack I said you'll need as you wander through the passages of @tremendospercy's piece. Then stop back and thank @awakentolife for the inspiration. He gets mean if you ignore him. (He's Croatian. You know how they get! Sheesh!)

As you know, yesterday was a terrible day for those of us living in the U.S. Another day of shock and sorrow, of which there have been way too many. So @hopehuggs steps in again to remind us in this message from across The Pond that there are still plenty of angels here on Earth. Meet David Deutchman. He's one.

This lovely reminder yesterday meant more than I can tell you. More Earth Angels. Otherwise known as "Mom."

Panda's Picks

One of our newest members @psychsherpa writes today on addiction, mental illness and suicide. If these are issues that touch your life, either directly or through a friend or loved one, you'll want to read what he has to say. I'll get him started ... and then let him speak for himself.

Unfortunately, addiction and mental illness often occur hand in hand. Whether the addiction or the mental illness came first, the two are often found developing side by side.

The One True Panda is off on a mission today, so I've chosen his Panda Picks for him. I've written several times that crypto has the potential to revolutionize life ... and here's more support for my statement.

This is from another fairly recent member @jinmi17. I like it ... because I understood it. So if it's not esoteric enough for you crypto-crazies ... don't yell at @fatpandadesign. Yell at me -- @enchantedspirit. I'm a mystic, not a monetary mogul. I was also a psych/English major. (A socio/anthro minor) Things written in plain English impress me. Keep that in mind.

The opinions here are strictly hers ... but they're also very true! (With occasional prompting and cheerleading from @fatpandadesign. That guy has his fingers in every pie.)
