The Real Value of a College Education

A debate is simmering in America over the worth of a college education. Advocates point to higher lifetime earning power. Critics complain about soaring lifetime debt. Some young people wonder whether it’s time well-spent.  The debate generated a slow-rolling inner reflection on how my college experience influenced my life journey. Like many Baby Boomers, I was the first member of my family to…

Analysis of data from dozens of foraging societies around the world shows that women hunt in at least 79% of these societies, opposing the widespread belief that men exclusively hunt and women exclusively gather. Abigail Anderson of Seattle Pacific University, US, and colleagues presented these findings in the open-access journal PLOS ONE on June 28, 2023. A common belief holds that, among foraging populations, men have typically hunted animals while women gathered plant products for food. However, mounting archaeological evidence from across human history and prehistory is challenging this paradigm; for instance, women in many societies have been found buried alongside big-game hunting tools. Some researchers have suggested that women's role as hunters was confined to the past, with more recent foraging societies following the paradigm of men as hunters and women as gatherers. To investigate that possibility, Anderson and colleagues analyzed data from the past 100 years on 63 foraging societies around the world, including societies in North and South America, Africa, Australia, Asia, and the Oceanic region. They found that women hunt in 79% of the analyzed societies, regardless of their status as mothers. More than 70% of female hunting appears to be intentional—as opposed to opportunistic killing of animals encountered while performing other activities, and intentional hunting by women appears to target game of all sizes, most often large game. The analysis also revealed that women are actively involved in teaching hunting practices and that they often employ a greater variety of weapon choice and hunting strategies than men.

These findings suggest that, in many foraging societies, women are skilled hunters and play an instrumental role in the practice, adding to the evidence opposing long-held perceptions about gender roles in foraging societies. The authors note that these stereotypes have influenced previous archaeological studies, with, for instance, some researchers reluctant to interpret objects buried with women as hunting tools. They call for reevaluation of such evidence and caution against misapplying the idea of men as hunters and women as gatherers in future research. The authors add, "Evidence from around the world shows that women participate in subsistence hunting in the majority of cultures."

She-Ra characters’ favorite movies!!! This one will probably be pretty controversial.

Adora: Alien. But she gets scared and has to cuddle with Catra (that’s her favorite part).

Catra: Predator. She can’t tell who she’s rooting for half the time though.

Glimmer: Captain Harlock: Space Pirate. She loves the aesthetic.

Bow: Star Wars. He’s very opinionated on the watch order.

Perfuma: Up in Smoke (never gonna let that joke go)

Mermista: Knives Out (but she’s waiting for the MerMysteries movie franchise)

Sea Hawk: The Princess Bride. He fancies himself Westley.

Scorpia: She’s a MCU fan and can’t pick her favorite of them.

Double Trouble: They hate watch Master of Disguise regularly.

Entrapta: Pacific Rim. Giant mechs! Fighting! Tech!

Hordak: Sleepless in Seattle. He loves romcoms!

Madame Razz: Primer. To her the plot is very straightforward, predictable, and linear

Shadow Weaver: Matilda. She has no idea why such wonderful and caring parents were so maligned!

Frosta: Godzilla movies. She has plans for an ice kaiju once she gets better at controlling her powers.

Micah: Star Trek: Wrath of Khan. He and Bow get into arguments about the better franchise and Glimmer has to tear them apart.

Kyle: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World - He fancies himself Scott. He isn’t.

Kadroh: Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. He loves how wrong it is about the universe!

Melog: The Aristocats. ‘Nuff said.

Netossa and Spinnerella: Lord of the Rings. They watch the Extended Editions together at least once a year.

Horde Prime: Horde Prime The Movie: A Horde Prime Production by Light Of Horde Prime Studios

Hey y'all did u know that one of the nazi scientists who perpetrated human experiments taught for almost 20 years at the university of washington in seattle after wwii, after going to the school of aviation medicine at randolph air force base in texas. This fact gets worse in a sec. <3

Some of his publications include "radiation effects on man in space," and "physical considerations regarding conservation of heat in man, especially loss of heat by conduction." Gosh! I wonder how a man associated with human experimentation created those publications!

He taught meteorology and, wait for it:

Physiology. Almost the exact same things he taught and studied in germany! And performed human experiments about! Well ain't that neat. His name was Konrad Johannes Karl Büttner.

Why yes, he got here via Operation Paperclip! And yes, he never saw a single consequence for being a nazi or experimenting on unwilling human subjects often resulting in horrific death. No, he didn't even change his name or use an alias! He was just out and about!

Just fun Pacific Northwest facts!! <3

Oxygen Destroyer - Guardian of the Universe (2024)

Macho Frost of Texas Toast Chainsaw Massacre looks at Guardian of the Universe, the brand new album from Seattle kaiju themed thrash death band Oxygen Destroyer, released August 9th on Redefining Darkness Records.

The Pacific Northwest’s own kaiju worshipping death thrash outfit Oxygen Destroyer has done it again. This time a tribute the mighty Heisei Gamera trilogy of the 90’s, which if you have not watched I HIGHLY recommend, they are whoopass. Every album OD drop they get better and better, and this point I don’t know how they are going to top this one. This is easily one of my favorite metal releases of 2024.

Listen to the album and read the full review:
