Ladies, if you want hearth and offspring, that's up to you. But honestly you can have those, and earn your way in the world, too. Don't depend on a partner, except for the love part.

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

I wish there was a "PD opportunity" where English teachers met in groups of 5-6 + each brought a passage from a book that they find meaningful in craft as well as substance to share with others, explaining why it moves them.
Each gets a turn—then you walk away with 4-5 new passages to play with.
