Or they will reproach you in later life for this uncalled-for lack in their education
It is Alan Turing's yahrzeit. I am glad the New York Times gave him the obituary in this week's Overlooked.
(I suppose it was necessary to include a photo of Benedict Cumberbatch in The Imitation Game (2014). I would have gone with Derek Jacobi in Breaking the Code (1986) or Ed Stoppard in Codebreaker (2011), but that's obvious.)
I slept minimally again, so have some more links.

kore: the lost rivers of Athens. I didn't realize Athens had lost rivers. I wonder if all cities do.
2. On the plight of small-town radio in America. If the intent of the article is to raise awareness and money for station KHIL in Willcox, Arizona, I hope it works.
3. I liked both of these poems from the recent issue of Poetry: Mary Biddinger's "Book of Disclosures" and Spencer Short's "The Gentle Art of Shabby Dressing." See also their Pride feature on the queer desire of Amy Lowell.
4. Jezebel posts clickbait of "Actors who are bad at acting." Critic Kayleigh Donaldson ripostes at length. "If you genuinely think Kristen Stewart is a bad actor, you're beyond help. Her near kaleidoscopic emotional range is invigorating and she can bring weight to even the flimsiest stories. Don't sleep on her comedic chops either." I love it.
5. Dr. Lauren MacIvor Thompson performs a similar service on the claim that nineteenth-century abortion providers did not advertise in newspapers. I hope it helps someone out with their fic research.
6. The National LGBTQ Task Force on the D.C. Dyke March.
7. Why don't I own this vest?

London's were the ones I started out knowing about! (And Millers River in Boston, but that one's sort of a crusade with me.) I had not realized it was a common feature of other cities.

You have canals! Along with filled-in wetlands. That definitely sounds like a recipe for displaced something.

NICE.
(Another tidal estuary, of course. Boston kept pretending it didn't have to deal with the sea.)
