White Fragility
That ' s a phrase I came across a few weeks ago when I was asked to comment on the participant self-evaluation for a workshop. Long story, but I get asked to do stuff like that a lot. Anyway as I understand it the idea is that a lot of people of whiteness get all bent out of shape when someone points out the existence of white privilege.Let me give you a tip about critical thinking. When somebody says or writes words to the effect that there is a ruling class in this country that consists principally of white male billionaires, said person is merely stating an objective fact. Such a statement is not racist, and does not in...

Side Quests
In yesterday’s article about different types of quests, I defined side quests like this:
A side quest is an optional side project that doesn’t directly support your main quest, but completing a side quest could make it a little easier to tackle your main quest or a subquest, such as by building up your skills or gaining additional resources.In a game a side quest may involve doing a favor for a townsperson to earn some extra gold, weapons, or items, none of which you actually need to complete the main quest.
I want to delve into the value of side quests a bit more here.
A side quest fits somewhere betw...

Kinky MacGyver
Last night’s kinky meetup class was titled “Kinky Crafts,” and it was about how to make do-it-yourself items for BDSM play.
Ever thought about making your own flogger using leftover supplies from some plumbing work? Me neither… but apparently this is a thing.
Imagine if MacGyver was into BDSM and taught a two-hour class on it, showing off a couple dozen items he made from PVC pipe, plastic tubing, rope, duct tape, and various industrial scraps. And then imagine him describing the sensations these contraptions generate when used on humans… and passing around most of the items for everyone...

Here ’s How We Did It: Eliminating Barriers of Early Medical Education Scholarship
Although a randomized, controlled education study may be the ultimate goal in medical education research, a new attending physician may not possess the confidence, experience, or skills to do so in year one. In our Academic Medicine Last Page “Hit the Ground Running: Engaging Early-Career Medical Educators in Scholarly Activity,” we encourage our physician colleagues to broaden the scope of what counts as medical education scholarly work by presenting four tips for learning the landscape, four types of presentation-based work, and four types of publication-based work in order of complexity. To supplement this guide, he...

Simple Acts of Courage
One way to train your courage muscles is simply to decide that you’re going to lean in a courageous direction when the opportunity arises. Don’t worry about big, bold acts that require an 8+ level of courage on a 1-10 scale. Instead look for some 3s and 4s that you can do more easily.
When you lean towards these easier opportunities to exercise courage, it can help those 8s, 9s, and 10s seem more accessible, like they’re 1-2 notches lower than before. Moreover, the 5s, 6s, and 7s will start to feel more accessible too.
At some of our previous workshops, we gave attendees a list of about 50 different...

Psychological Safety
This evening Rachelle and I attended an orientation meeting for a local kink-related meetup group. It’s a very active group that does frequent educational workshops as well as social meetups. I’ve known about them for years and was curious, but I never went to one of their meetup, mainly because there was a (relatively minor) prerequisite that seemed just annoying enough to dissuade me from going and keep the idea perpetually on the back burner.
In order to attend any meetings from this group, they require that everyone has to attend a 90-minute orientation meeting in person before they can attend anything e...
