I earn $200,000 at Google after starting my career earning under $40,000. The reality is that money does buy happiness.
Khayla McCoy earned $39,000 a year as a sessions assistant straight out of college. After several career pivots she now earns over $200,000 at Google.

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

Hickel continues:
"Wage disparities are so extreme that high-skilled workers in the global South (physicists, surgeons, engineers, logistics managers, etc) receive 68% less than low-skilled labour in the global North, in terms of their command over total global output. No one should accept this."

Reject the premise; reframe the argument. Rinse, repeat.
On a serious note though, Democrats have to stop accepting GOP framing on everything. There is no border crisis, instead we need immigration targets. DEI doesn’t discriminate, but we do need integration. Bathroom laws are bullshit; civil rights aren’t up for discussion.

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.

Hi Bluesky friends: I wanted to share that my book, THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US, is coming out in March. Based on a half-decade of reporting, it examines the rise of America's "working homeless," following five Atlanta families desperate to secure housing in a gentrifying, increasingly unequal city.

Levar Burton's work, Aftermath, pulling no punches from page one and feeling very timely right now.

Political players, terms, mediums have changed. The playbook for cultivating White anger to defend and extend the structure of racism has remained the same. 2/2

Remember: colonizers branded those defending their ancestral lands as hating White people, enslavers framed abolition as harmful to White people, lynchers cast Black empowerment as White disempowerment, segregationists labeled desegregation as anti-White. 1/2

people who have never experienced open racism — or open bigotry of any sort — do not appreciate the way it can be psychologically destabilizing. and on the main, it actually isn’t healthy to be so resilient and thick-skinned that you don’t react to slurs and dehumanization

White masculinity is an identity, and playing up the defense of it — via the state, via norms, via violence — is identity politics.
