If Wiki bios for Christians were like Wiki bios for Jews: "John was born to Christian parents. He considered himself mostly secular, although he remained fond of gospel music and celebrated Christmas every year."
Gender reveal parties are a form of ritual magic, designed to protect cis parents from having a trans child (it doesn't work)

Twitter is all like, "New bombshell. Trump is, indeed, a very bad man" when he has been more or less parading around with a "Very bad person, please guillotine me" sandwich board around his neck for...the past 4 ye -- deca -- his entire life?

The Online Etymological Dictionary is a Gem of the Internet.
It's one of those quirky, one-person-effort projects that hugely increases the value and quality of the modern Web for me. And can for you as well.
As the Season of Begging Websites is upon us, I strongly encourage anyone who can help commit to its upkeep to do so.
The site itself is: https://www.etymonline.com

India pol, article recommendation
I suggest reading this excellently written article if you'd like some insight in how exactly caste and casteism manifests itself in India today. The piece does a great job of relating these traditional indian social structures to ones more familiar to north american audiences, and also does a great job situating them in present-day politics.
Just declaring our support for marginalized communities isn't enough, it's our duty to educate ourselves on how we can do that. Thanks to @h_tejas for sharing the article in the first place.

Intersectionality without class awareness is not Intersectionality.
A gig economy transcription service not that different from one I used to work for recently slashed its already low wages, so that clients can now post tasks for as low as 30 cents:

"Vice Magazine ... claimed a written agreement with a Mainland Chinese woman barring discussion of her sexual orientation and relationships was not “legally binding” so therefore could be ignored"
Holy shit, #vice.
