Photo opportunity on the day I forgot to wear proper footwear in public.
In another egregious act of my terribility, I was scanning the cafe to take my eyes away from my screen and I caught two glimpses of the laptop screen of some guy. The first, a credit overdraft notice. The second, a few minutes later, a 'jobs for philosophers' search page. Life in a college town.

They were promised a lifeline to 'graduate' from poverty. Then it was taken away
Thousands of South Sudanese refugees and impoverished locals in Uganda saw a brighter future with a new USAID-funded project. They'd get $205 and coaching to build a business. Then came the cuts.

People’s brains are fried by the 15 stories a year of a cyclist hitting a pedestrian but completely ignore the 40k per year that are killed by cars.
News is news because it’s different from the norm. But the process of reporting tricks our lizard brains into thinking what’s in the news is common.

Here's a small example of a different way USAID cuts are impacting people around the world. Definitely worth a (quick) read!
Cuts to USAID funding meant cuts to a Carter Center project in Bangladesh, one that empowers women through access to information. Learn about the women we’ve served, what the loss of funding means, and how the Center is determined to move forward.
