Reality Checks: Speaking with Angels, Bewitching Computers, Tuberculosis in Alabama, and Collecting Data from the Vagina

• There is a witch who claims to cast viruses out of computers using magic.  I have new career goals. (via Vice)
• John Dee and his adventures speaking to angels.  Apparently this was a thing in medieval times. (via The Spectator)
• There is now a smart diva cup that will text you information about your menstruation.  I want to applaud this as a step toward dealing with stigma by making menstrual information just one of the things we check on our phones, but frankly, I am not ready to receive texts from my vagina.  (via The Daily Dot)
• Today in news of diseases we can’t blame on antivaxxers, there is a tuberculosis outbreak in Alabama. (via NYT)
