"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls."

When you stir your rice pudding, Septimus, the spoonful of jam spreads itself round making red trails like the picture of a meteor in my astronomical atlas. But if you stir backward, the jam will not come together again. Indeed, the pudding does not notice and continues to turn pink just as before.

156 years ago today, Rutgers beat Princeton 6–4 in the first American intercollegiate football game (though it looked a lot more like soccer).
Two 25-player teams tried to kick a round ball through the goal (running with the ball wasn't allowed)
1-0 Rutgers!

The difference between the right and the left is the left will gladly pay more in taxes so someone has access to a better life. The right would rather burn all their money than see their taxes help someone unless they meet all their requirements for “deserving help”. Oh and the right “loves Jesus” 🥴
