When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

If you’re upset about Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, wait until I tell you about the time Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the election he lost, plotted a coup & incited an insurrection before deciding not to attend Joe Biden’s.

This is amazing.
The first West Coast legal clinic to help low-income families navigate the child welfare system — often rigged against them in a society that criminalizes poverty — is opening up at UC Berkeley!

I once found my 4yo’s turkey quesadilla between the couch cushions. I would have preferred the sand.
Finding out that my 9yo has been emptying sand from his shoes into a bucket every time he gets back from the park has really helped answer the question: why is there a bucket of sand behind the couch

What a shame that Nancy Mace can’t pay it forward. She was once the beneficiary of an accommodation, and a pioneer at The Citadel to boot. Karma is going to be rough on her.

Not sure we needed the doomsday fish to tell us we’re headed for the apocalypse. But it’s super interesting this is happening now!
The elusive deep-water oarfish – considered to be a harbinger of bad news – was spotted yet again on the shores of Encinitas, California. It was the state’s third spotting of the species in the last three months, and only the 22nd over the past century.

Considered to be the origin of the sea serpent tale, giant oarfish are a species yet to be largely researched by scientists.
