How to Stop Being So Judgy
When my daughter was 3, she bolted while I was paying for groceries at the supermarket. I was fumbling for my credit card and didn't notice.
For 20 long minutes, I ran up and down the street shouting her name. Some people helped me look for her. Others asked me how I'd let this happen.
When I finally found her — she had walked home across seven city blocks — I vowed never to judge anyone, ever again.
That, of course, didn't last very long.
We pass judgment all the time, and sometimes we don't realize we've done it. Research suggests that when people see a new face, their brains decide whether that person is attractive and trustworthy within one-tenth of a second.

On this day in 2024: Coat of Hopes to arrive at Bradford Cathedral
On this day in 2024, the Telegraph and Argus reported that a symbol of collective climate hopes was about to arrive in Bradford. The Coat of Hopes, a patchwork pilgrim coat, was set to arrive on the night of Friday, June 7, 2024 at Bradford Cathedral, as part of its "perpetual pilgrimage" - of which 1,500km had so far been covered at the time of reporting. The coat, made up of more than 600 blanket patches, began its journey in 2021 with a nine-week journey from the south coast to the gates of COP 26 in Glasgow. The coat's arrival at Bradford Cathedral coincided with the start of the Tree of Life concert, and the coat was set to be on display for three weeks, as well as to be taken to local schools and community groups. Barbara Keal, who instigated the coat, said: "The coat's work through this ongoing pilgrimage is to offer everyone the invitation to stop and, in wearing it, focus on the climate and ecological emergency, and our connection to all those others who face it with us. "The Coat of Hopes carries forward, in its fabric, stories of people and places encountered on its way. "It will be so good to meet, walk, sing, and sew with the people of West Yorkshire, and take them with us as we continue on our way - walking towards the end of this emergency." The coat was set to stop next at Haworth Parish Church on June 29, 2024, with members of the public invited to join in the walk from Bradford Cathedral to the next destination. The Coat of Hopes also has a song, which declares its aims, and which is sung each time a new person wears the coat.

Presbyterian Senior Living got an unusual visitor when a black bear burst through a window at the facility Staff lured it away with food after one person whacked it with a walker The Pennsylvania Game Commission safely captured and relocated the cubA nursing home in Pennsylvania had to evict an unwanted guest after a wild bear burst through their window looking for food. Staff and residents at Presbyterian Senior Living had a busy night on Tuesday, June 3 when a juvenile black bear broke through a window just after 11 p.m. One photo shared by CBS News Pittsburgh showed a shattered window, any showed claw marks by a different window sill. "I grabbed a walker and was hitting him, trying to get him away from the residents," Charlene Elliot told the news station exclusively during an on-camera interview. According to the nurse, her top priority was protecting the elderly residents: "Cause my thought was he was going to... maul them or swipe, slap at them.' 'That was my worst fear," she added. Elliot said her team did their best to get the bear out, using Rice Krispies Treats to lure the wild animal away from their Presbyterian Senior Living residents. Eventually their efforts worked, and they were able to get the animal out while keeping their residents safe. Pennsylvania Game Commission later arrived and set up a trap, which was able to humanely capture the approximately 150 pound cub and relocate it by Wednesday, June 4. Officials say of the estimated 18,000 black bears living in the state, most of them are generally afraid of humans and attacks rarely happen. The animals are typically just curious or looking for easy food. Elliot told the news station she was pleased with the work she did to keep her community safe.
