“I’ll state the obvious: you shouldn’t get consent because it’s sexy. You should get consent because it’s the only way to be certain that you’re not assaulting someone, and not assaulting someone is the only way to be a minimally decent human being. If getting consent is also a huge turn-on, that’s great, but it’s just the icing on the wonderful cake that is not assaulting people.”

- “Consent Is Sexy” Is Useful But Also Kind Of Sketchy » Brute Reason

THANK YOU.

My sister-in-law may or may not be in labor right now. They’re taking her to the hospital. If she is, I’m on-call to handle the other kids, and the dog, since my parents are at the beach house.

This should be an interesting weekend.

“A teacher needs to be able to read her students. She has to be able to know who is sensitive and who is thick-skinned, and who is bullheaded and who is stubborn. She has to teach differently for different personalities and for different stages of development. She must also have a keen sense of how she is being perceived. If she is so aggressively negative with a young student that he begins to shrink into a little ball at the side of the piano, singing smaller and smaller, and worse and worse, then the teacher should have the sensitivity to know that her approach isn’t working. She’s going to have to try another approach, which may simply mean being encouraging on that particular day.”

- Renée Fleming in her book, The Inner Voice: the Making of a Singer.

Best advice ever for managers of direct reports who are in the early stages of their career. I’m telling you, this is better than any business book I’ve read.

Now that Miss Mueller is a big fat star, I want to repost this piece of brilliance. This is her cover of “Being Alive”, performed at a friend’s wedding. In case you thought there was any song she couldn’t make better, here is the proof that you were wrong.
