I hate to break it to you… those of us who grew up poor and have lived our entire adult lives waiting for the next paycheck already knew this.
Why do so many Americans live in poverty? Because so many rich people benefit from it, the sociologist Matthew Desmond told Annie Lowrey last year. theatln.tc/oc1NTW54

#GNX is a welcome, and increasingly rare, shared cultural experience. I have two group chats dissecting lyrics and pulling references and I haven’t felt this kind of text-based shared excitement since AIM!

I see this happening at my own institution and it saddens me that some of my students won’t even have the option to discover new avenues of thought. College should not be trade school.
As enrollments fall, rural-serving universities are shedding degree programs ranging from music to chemistry.
Rural students’ options shrink as colleges slash majors

Dear Admin,
Student writing is in a bad place and you don’t seem to care. I need less students or more time. I know what my students need, and it’s definitely not me spending what time I do have on an email request for a list you’ll see at my yearly review anyway.
Sincerely,
Tired
