Focusing on dancers’ mental health was a major conservatory initiative at the university I worked at before grad school. Glad to see the topic is becoming more mainstream and getting attention — as it deserves.
Ballet dancers are famous for buckling down and getting through it. But a new openness about mental health has companies and schools focusing on their well-being, both physical and emotional.

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.
Unprecedentedly corrupt.

This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.

my wife worked for a catholic hospital and gave birth to our last child there and _their own obstetrician_ told her to get her tubes tied because it was _medically necessary_ and the hospital wouldn't allow it to be done with her c-section because it was against their beliefs, even though we're jews
Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.
