Youss limped in the door, took off his shoes and lay down on the couch, sighing.

“Hey, where were you?”

He looked up from rubbing his foot. “Blister.”

“Really, a one word response after disappearing for two hours?”

“Writer’s block. I was trying to walk it off. Those shoes were not made for walking.”

“What were you working on?”

“Just those MastoPrompts. Some days they work, others not.”

“And today?”

“Nothing. Not a single word.”

“Well, you can always try again tomorrow.”

Effort and contentment form a harmonious balance. Striving for family with limitless effort, paired with mindful acceptance of the results, leads to joy. As Ajahn Buddhadasa Bhikkhu taught, "Dhamma is duty." Fulfilling roles like parent, teacher, or friend with mindfulness embodies spiritual practice. Effort rooted in compassion, combined with contentment, fosters peace and inspires balance in life. (AI Generated) #RightEffort #Rightlivelihood #lay #monk #Enlightenment

Plain-language summaries of research articles are still not plain enough.
bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/11/

This is the first study I've seen on this question.

BMJ Open · Are plain language summaries published in health journals written according to instructions and health literacy principles? A systematic environmental scanBackground Plain language summaries (PLSs) are easy-to-understand summaries of research articles that should follow principles of plain language and health literacy. PLS author instructions from health journals help guide authors on word count/PLS length, structure and the use of jargon. However, it is unclear whether published PLSs currently adhere to author instructions. Objectives This study aims to determine (1) the degree of compliance of published PLSs against the PLS author instructions in health journals and (2) the extent to which PLSs meet health literacy principles. Study design We conducted a three-part systematic environmental scan. Methods We examined 26 health journals identified from a previous review. In part 1, we assessed the inclusion frequency of PLSs in the 26 journals; in part 2, we assessed the level of compliance of PLSs with PLS author instructions; and in part 3, we conducted a health literacy assessment of the PLSs. Results Part 1: we found PLSs for 20/26 (76.9%) included journals. Part 2: no journal achieved 100% compliance with PLS author instructions. The highest level was 86% and the lowest was 0%. Part 3: no PLS was written at a readability level suitable for a general audience. The mean reading level was grade 15.8 (range 10.2–21.2and mean percentage of complex words, 31% (range 8.5%–49.8%). Discussion PLSs are an important means through which consumers can access research findings. We found a lack of compliance between PLS author instructions and PLSs published in health journals that may impede access and use by consumers. This study highlights the need for better ways to support authors adhere to PLS instructions and improved monitoring by journals. Data are available upon reasonable request. All data were collated from publicly available sources. The datasets generated and/or analysed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.

It would be nice to have positive representations of media too. Not "in", but "of": examples I can point to for

"here's how to organise the restorative justice part of sharing life with other people" (Rastamouse? There must be others) or

"here's what living with UBI might do for artists and disabled people" (uhhh, yeah idk star trek?) or

"multiple ways to use drones and graphics tablets in community centres" (like delivering medication -- icr the podcast but I think it was a BBC one about "Future Perfect" or global health? or letting people use them to draw, learn 3D modelling, practice animation, sign documents, etc.
