    "The analysis confirms previous public health findings that #AbstinenceOnly education programs don't succeed in reducing rates of #TeenPregnancies or #STDs. Moreover, public health data indicate that such programs 'have little demonstrated efficacy in helping adolescents to delay intercourse,' the authors write."

    "At many points across this website, we emphasize brushes over blades, brushing and combing over clipping, shaving, and even shedding blades like Furminators. There are many reasons why we do. The short answer is that clippings are very problematic. Here is why:
    The Whole Hair Shaft Is Best

    First and foremost, because they are not the entire hair shaft, it’s a challenge to get clippings to “grab” onto other fibers. The part of a dog’s hair shaft that catches onto the other parts is just above the follicle, which is why mats form close to the skin. Sometimes, we can blend clippings with another fiber to spin them; it really depends on the individual dog’s hair."

  9. An updated recipe for delicious bagels

    I like to post progress notes and photos to Mastodon while doing my Sunday baking. It mostly ends up being about bagels, but not always – sometimes I’ll make baguettes or sweetbreads or something else entirely.

    But mostly, it’s all about the #bagels. I post about bagels so regularly that people have started using my bagel posts as a warning that Monsterdon – the weekly monster-movie watch with live commentary – is incoming.

    (#monsterdon is in fact a monster, trending Federation-wide each Sunday evening, starting shortly after my baking posts wrap up. It’s great. Follow #MonsterdonAlert for news and voting on which films to watch.)

    Anyway, in response to my latest baking thread, MHowell asked me if I’d blogged about baking bagels, particularly for people who bake only occasionally. And the answer was… sort of? So I threw them a short post that linked my recipe.

    But since it’s been a while – and I’ve learned some things – here’s a new, more comprehensive version of the bagel recipe! This version adds more dough variations, includes a couple of important process discoveries, and explains a bunch of steps left unexplained in the original.

    It is a bit wordier, I’m afraid, but it is very complete, which should make it good for beginners and occasional bakers.

    Unfortunately, that also keeps it from fitting onto a single page, so it’s RTF only this time. If you want a single-page version like last time, you’ll have to put together your own. (ETA: And even so, I didn’t have room to describe how to make your bagels nice and smooth and regular. So have a second post just for that.)

    Of course, the more you do this, the less you’ll need the recipe – I barely reference it these days, and then only for ingredient weights. But if that’s you, you probably don’t need a recipe! At least, not more than once.

    Anyway. Enjoy DELICIOUS BAGELS! ^_^

  14. Maps Release: Greater Northshore Bike Connector, MEGAMAP 2.0.4

    Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map 2.0.4 – 3 October 2025 – is now available on github, as is MEGAMAP 2.0.4.

    There are major additions in Seattle with the opening of two south Seattle routes (SODO to Georgetown, Georgetown most of the way to South Park), but the big alert is that the Central Kirkland Connector is closed from NE 68th to 108th Ave NE for emergency sewer work. This will probably be a two week project. Detours are posted both in person and on this map.

    Here’s the complete changes list:

    • WARNING: CKC southern segment closed for emergency sewer repair. Detours are posted.
    • ADDED: SODO to Georgetown connection along 6th Ave S, Alaska, and Airport Way S. This isn’t technically done yet but it is open and people are actively riding it, so I’m adding it.
    • ADDED: Georgetown to South Park connection along Albro, Ellis, and E. Marginal Way, with existing bike lanes on 16th Ave S. More work is pending, via technically separate projects rolling out in early 2026.
    • ADDED: Significant changes to “commonly used” routes in eastern Mountlake Terrace, western Briar, and even a little NE Lake Forest Park as people find ways to the Mountlake Terrace light rail station. Thanks to @[email protected] on Mastodon for pointing this out, I hadn’t noticed the shift yet.
    • ADDED: More people on bikes means more “commonly used” routes in Bothell worth having on the map, so multiple such routes have been added.
    • REMOVED: Final warning notice on Juanita Drive near Juanita Bay. The housing construction that has been extending into the roadway isn’t 100% complete but it’s close enough, it should be good.
    • REMOVED: The warning notice on the Interbay Trail near Terminal 9. The “bridge over nothing” (or “bridge to nowhere”) which two decades ago went over a driveway is finally gone, much like the driveway, just much much later.
    Screenshot

    All permalinks continue to work.

    If you enjoy these maps and feel like throwing some change at the tip jar, here’s my patreon. Patreon supports get things like pre-sliced printables of the Greater Northshore, and also the completely-uncompressed MEGAMAP, not that the .jpg has much compression in it because honestly it doesn’t.

    Enjoy biking!

  16. ICYMI Excellent interview about the Voting Rights Act and where it now stands with Sherrill Ifill and Jon Stewart of The Daily Show.

    Civil rights lawyer and founding director of Howard Law School's 14th Amendment Center for Law & Democracy, Sherrilyn Ifill, sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss the Supreme Court’s weakening of the Voting Rights Act.

    They talk about how the reinstatement for purposeful discrimination overturned the court’s own precedent, how the Voting Rights Act protects the voting strength of minorities and their candidates of choice, and the dangerous potential for Trump and Republicans to redistrict using this precedent in an effort to turn seats in the House.
