I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.

Reporters, if you wrote about learning loss due to covid school closures, you can write about learning loss due to state terror.

I and a lot of people in 2020 - incl people who just lived near the Capitol - had more painful, difficult, and irregular menstrual cycles immediately following tear gas exposure. I am not aware of any attempts to look at long term reproductive implications but take my n=1 for what it's worth.
People who may want to have children in the future should bear this in mind: tear gas can have serious consequences for female reproductive health. The data on this isn't great but I would at least recommend ensuring you have a quality respirator or mask on at all times.

I unintentionally got that person to level up the rhetoric tonight and while it sucked to hear it also made it that much more obvious that it wasn't true. I'm kind of proud of that, even though it hurt in the moment. It was more like a workout than an injury. I'm getting stronger.

I do think one sociocultural problem we are going to run into is that a lot of people who came of age with the Internet when companies like Google were perceived as being all-good have internalized the aesthetics and practice of digitalism as being good and revolutionary, when they deeply aren’t.

I want everyone who has spent years in therapy wondering what is wrong with them, wondering why they had so many bad relationships, why they felt so much dread, to know that it was in part because you were living in a world run by evil, evil people and you could tell that somewhere deep down

People often mistake trade & commerce for capitalism, but every economic system in history involves the exchange of goods between producers & consumers. Capitalism is when a tiny minority with immense wealth & power, systematically exploits the majority to enrich themselves.

Wall-to-wall discourse around sexual violence is pretty unbearable, and I say that as someone who reports on discourse about sexual violence. For anyone who needs to hear this, it is okay to take a break. It is okay to stop scrolling or to not be able to come up with something to say right now.

Capitalism invariably produces a small parasitic class of people who live securely and affluently from the collective labor of others, while contributing little or nothing to society themselves.
