People are getting Covid-19 in a big way again. Test before going to parties, mask on the subway, avoid indoors when you can (tough with dates and restaurants!), get air purifiers for your home, and get boosted if you haven't already.

If you're poor, you probably have more of your stability coming from your social capital than your monetary capital. If you "just move," you throw a lot of it away.

Survivors of violence have little recourse in Germany, when institutions keep women at a disadvantage. How do you flee violence at home if there is no shelter and no affordable housing?
One of the reasons I want to highlight Germany's response to violence against women this week is that there were two *very good* books released this fall written by lawyers who work with survivors -- and who note that the violence is systemic.
