flamingswordI am back from a week's vacation with Dad's side of the family. I am content with how the week went, but very glad to be home, unreasonable heat notwithstanding. I am having some bounceback difficulties with being kinda depressed after a week of being overstimulated, but that should hopefully pass pretty soon.
And some links:
1491: the Untold Story of the Americas Before Columbus - the first episode is free for the next week. So far it has been amazingly well produced and interesting. I am going to have to throw money at the creators.

"The Mindfulness Conspiracy: It is sold as a force that can help us cope with the ravages of capitalism, but with its inward focus, mindful meditation may be the enemy of activism." A long read about how you can teach people how to be happier with abuse, but that does not solve the abuse.
