SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Being in a doctoral program is giving me language and context for pedagogy I continue to develop in my own professional sphere. It's really cool and enlightening to read about my own pedagogical roots and have language to describe what's missing as far as implementation in the classroom in 2025.

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but here we go again.
If you are standing in arms reach of me with a cute baby, I am allowed and OBLIGATED to try to take that baby.
Every legitimate court in the nation recognizes this right. Please be for real, gatekeeping cute babies.
