The Good Men Project
VerifiedOnline/Digital
The Good Men Project® is a glimpse of what enlightened masculinity might look like in the 21st century,” the press raved when we launched. We had set out to start an international conversation about what it means to be a good man in the 21st century. And with over 3 million visitors coming to join in every month, it looks as if we’ve done exactly that. The Good Men Project was founded by Tom Matlack in 2009. Tom set out to collect stories about the defining moments in men’s lives.
What he discovered was that the connected idea between all the stories of the men Tom talked to was that there was a moment when each man “woke up, looked in the mirror and said ‘I thought I knew what it meant to be a man. I thought I knew what it meant to be good. And I realize that I don’t know either.'” These are the types of stories about men that change the writer and change the reader. We set out to open doors you didn’t even know were closed. Source

My Friend Starts Talking About Her Narcissistic Partner. I Reach for Water. Here’s Why.
I Reached for the Water Before She Finished the Sentence My friend had barely started. We were sitting in my apartment, two glasses on the table, her phone face-down beside her. She had that particular expression people wear when they have rehearsed a story so many times that telling it has become less about remembering and more about surviving the memory. “He said I was too sensitive,” she told me. I reached for my water. Not dramatically. I didn’t interrupt her. I just picked up the glass and drank.
The Northeast’s Reliance on Heating Oil Is Turning Into a Crisis
By Tik Root, Grist “This story was originally published by Grist. Sign up for Grist’s weekly newsletter here.” There are many markers of fall: vibrant foliage, apple picking, and pumpkin-spiced everything, to name a few. Cranking up the heat is another. With record-setting energy prices, everyone is bracing for higher bills. For the more than 4 million households that rely on heating oil, this winter could be particularly devastating.
Bullfrog Brains Have a Hidden Superpower
By Eric Stann-Missouri Researchers have uncovered a hidden biological superpower in bullfrogs: When their brains run low on energy, they can make their own emergency fuel supply. That could mean good things for human health. For decades, scientists believed most animals relied on a steady supply of glucose, the body’s primary fuel source, to power their brains. When glucose runs out, neural activity begins to fail, potentially leading to lasting brain damage.

The Most Pleasant People You Know Have This in Common
You’ve gone quiet at a dinner table, and someone has noticed. They lean in. “Are you okay?” You say you’re fine. They try again — a question about the food, about your week. You smile. You let yourself be lifted back to the table. You went home and couldn’t explain why you were tired. A friend texts on a day nothing was wrong — because nothing was wrong — to check in. The message is warm. Thoughtful. It contains, underneath the concern, a quiet request: tell me you’re okay so I can stop worrying.

By Jennifer Chu | MIT News Like Earth, most planetary bodies circle their star in stable, detached orbits. These companionable systems can suddenly change when a planet comes too close to its star.

They have also observed a handful of stars quickly engulfing their planet.
