Un nuevo estilo de vida: los neosolteros Regularmente hablamos de la soltería como un tiempo intermedio mientras encontramos a nuestra media naranja, viéndole las ventajasde estar solo y sacar provecho de la exquisita libertad antes de emparejarnos. El prototipo de soltera ha sido explotado a lo sumo (cine y TV), pero casi siempre gira en torno a la culminación de esa soltería gracias al éxito amoroso, o un fracaso para levantarse e intentarlo de nuevo. Tenemos desde Carrie Bradshaw hasta el viral ”35 años y soltera” de Paula Schargorodsky. Desde hace más de una década, el modelo de vida de los solteros tiende a adquirir rasgos cada vez más concretos hasta llegar a una nueva definición: los neosolteros, los que viven solos por convicción y no como “quedados” o que “se les pasó el tren” como se juzgaba antes. Ver la soltería como un estigma ya es cosa del pasado. El término “neosoltero” realmente no es tan nuevo. Para comprender esta tipología, el sitio Seis Grados les asigna atributos específicos como: Fuente: BLL

Civic Online Reasoning If young people are not prepared to critically evaluate the information that bombards them online, they are apt to be duped by false claims and misleading arguments. To help teachers address these critical skills, we’ve developed assessments of civic online reasoning—the ability to judge the credibility of digital information about social and political issues. These assessments ask students to reason about online content. We’ve designed paper-and-pencil tasks as well as tasks that students complete online. These assessments are intended for flexible classroom use. As part of MediaWise, the Stanford History Education Group is developing and evaluating new civic online reasoning lesson plans for middle and high school students.
La Página de los Cuentos - Texto 'Tripas (Chuck Palahniuk)' de Zama Tripas Tomen aire. Tomen tanto aire como puedan. Esta historia debería durar el tiempo que logren retener el aliento, y después un poco más. Así que escuchen tan rápido como les sea posible. Cuando tenía trece años, un amigo mío escuchó hablar del “pegging”. Entonces mi amigo compra leche y huevos y azúcar y una zanahoria, todos los ingredientes para una tarta de zanahorias. Como si se fuera a casa a meterse una tarta de zanahorias por el culo. En casa, talla la zanahoria hasta convertirla en una contundente herramienta. Entonces la madre del chico grita que es hora de la cena. El se saca la zanahoria y entierra esa cosa resbaladiza y mugrienta entre la ropa sucia debajo de su cama. Después de la cena va a buscar la zanahoria, pero ya no está allí. Mi amigo espera meses bajo una nube oscura, esperando que sus padres lo confronten. Los franceses tienen una frase: “ingenio de escalera”. Algunas bajezas no tienen nombre. También dice que el día anterior estaba un poco drogado.

The Importance, and Incoherence, of Twitter’s Trump Ban Let’s take the easy question first. Nothing in the Constitution prohibits a private company from enforcing its own policies; if anything, the First Amendment protects a company’s right to do so. Now the harder questions. Does censoring a head of state set a dangerous precedent? The suppression of speech we despise can lead down a slippery slope toward the suppression of speech we cherish; indeed, it almost always does. If the Constitution provides a way to remove a sitting President from office under extenuating circumstances, then there must be a way to remove a sitting President from the Internet. The Trump problem hardly caught Twitter by surprise. “I doubt I would be here if it weren’t for social media, to be honest with you,” Donald Trump said in 2017.
Hear the moment when the Boston Symphony Orchestra announced JFK's assassination to a shocked audience Just after 2 p.m. on November 22, 1963, the musicians of the Boston Symphony Orchestra — already onstage at Symphony Hall for a Friday afternoon concert to be simulcast on radio station WGBH — were suddenly handed new sheet music for an unscheduled change in the program. Seconds later, BSO conductor Erich Leinsdorf walked onstage and spoke directly to the gathered audience: “Ladies and gentlemen, we have a press report over the wireless. We hope that it is unconfirmed, but we have to doubt it.” In the moments before Leinsdorf emerged from the wings, he had pre-empted the planned program and rushed the new music to his musicians, according to an interview TIME conducted with longtime BSO librarian William Shisler. Though many in the hall had already heard that President Kennedy had been shot in Dallas an hour before the concert began, nobody knew the severity of the president’s injuries. “The president of the United States has been the victim of an assassination.”

The psychological toll COVID-19 may be taking on Americans Health experts are concerned about the potential mental health effects of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States, and mental health hotlines report a substantial uptick in calls since the outbreak began. Nearly one-in-five U.S. adults (18%) say they have had a physical reaction at least some or a little of the time when thinking about the outbreak, according to a new Pew Research Center survey conducted March 19-24. This is particularly true of those affected financially. When asked more broadly how they’ve felt in the past seven days, not in the context of the coronavirus outbreak, 18% report experiencing nervousness or anxiety most or all of the time during the past week. For context, a 2018 federal survey – which was not taken in the midst of a national crisis – found 9% of U.S. adults reported feeling nervous most or all of time over the past 30 days, indicating that the current level might be above normal.

THICKZINE 400 vaginas de 400 mujeres en 10 paneles. Tras un extenso casting de mujeres, el artista británico Jamie McCartney hizo moldes de las partes bajas de las voluntarias. Los genitales femeninos han sido siempre una fuente de fascinación. Hoy en día parece que la creación de imágenes de la vagina es el dominio exclusivo de la pornografía, artistas eróticos y feministas. El rango de edad de las mujeres que buscó McCartney es de 18 a 76 años. «No es vulgar, es vulvar» dice el propio artista. Descrita como «los Monólogos de la vagina de la escultura», esta pieza está destinada a cambiar la vida de las mujeres para siempre. «Para muchas mujeres su apariencia genital es una fuente de ansiedad y yo estaba en una posición única para hacer algo al respecto». Las vulvas y los labios son tan diferentes como las caras y muchas personas, especialmente las mujeres, no parecen saberlo. El Gran mural de Vagina hace una visión fascinante y reveladora que está muy lejos de la pornografía.
