When your form has a validation failure, you should show the submitted data prefilled in the form.
NOT erase the big textarea of information I just provided you that I didn't save to the clipboard before posting, assuming your web developers are competent.

In the fall of 2021, after a remote year, I was teaching in person wearing a mask close to 100% of the time. A few weeks into one intro course, where the students didn’t already know me, I lowered my mask for a moment and there were audible gasps from the class. They’d never seen the lower half of my face!
“What did you •think• was going to be down there?!” I quipped. (Maybe they were picturing tentacles, like an Ood?)
But the gasp was genuine: after hours of looking at my masked face, they still had no idea what my •unmasked• face looks like.

In a damning report, the OEP has found that seven of the 10 targets set in the Environment Act 2021 have little likelihood of being met by 2030, which is the deadline set in law.
The three remaining targets: clean air, reducing the harmful impact of environmental hazards, and improving the beauty of nature – are only partly on track.

I was just listening to "Strong Songs", one of my favorite podcasts, but it was re-airing an episode of "Aria Code", a podcast I haven't heard before, about single opera arias.
This half hour episode from 2021 is looking at Nessum Dorma, intersecting it tightly with vignettes by an ICU doctor describing moments from the first year of the pandemic. It's very much worth a listen - uplifting, emotional, hopeful. Vincero!

It’s only February, and the November elections are already in peril.
When I think back to the days and weeks before Jan. 6, 2021, one thing that’s clear is that many of us suffered from a failure of imagination.
We knew President Trump’s lies and conspiracy mongering were dangerous,
but it’s hard to think of a single person who predicted that a MAGA mob would storm the Capitol.
Very few people anticipated the sheer scale and scope of the effort to overturn the electi…

Bizarrely warm end of the winter, here in the Netherlands: average temperature in the last part of February (21-28/29) was more than a full degree higher than the previous record set just five years ago:
10.5°C, that's warmer than the already warmed 1991-2020 average for April!
Peak was above 17°C.
