Almost 2% of the population are intersex: they have natural variations which mean they do not fit into binary notions of sex. There are many different types of intersex traits, and some intersex people have uterine tissue, which means they can get endometriosis.

In situations like these, I commend to your attention the Breaking News Consumer's Handbook.

Breaking news events are confusing and frightening. Early reports often include things that we later learn are wrong or not related. This guide intended to help you make sense of what you are reading and hearing. wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/a

Computing horrors 

I've lived a long and content life, ignorant of this horrible fact: there exists a UTF-EBCDIC encoding. Blessed by the Unicode consortium even. The eldrich horrors of EBCDIC unleashed by the Old Ones, now rise again from their slumber into modern Unicode.

Make your saving throw against sanity...
