Notice “pulty” too—actually Bill Pulte?

And a lot of avid crocheters will pay YOU $10 to let them give you one!

people in my community often say to me that they don’t have bandwidth to worry about climate

that’s fine by me. I am not here to argue with them. I’m not the caring police

I’m here to figure out what they’re pressed about right now, and how I can help in a future-proof decarb-friendly way

Yes, I think that’s the intended effect—though on the (white) Texan side of my family, we always used “aunt/uncle” and “cousin” for unspecified relatives of the older and younger generations.

True—looks more like the second shift plus the observation that women’s wages are suppressed just when they’re most needed to pay for childcare, etc. I think the best bet is to read Low’s book instead of trying to cobble together it’s arguments from little quotes!

Deleted my previous post because I erroneously thought the author wasn’t engaging with Folbre’s work—but she does. Lesson: don’t take the bait on social media!

Author (Low) cites Folbre—my bad for taking the bait! Looks like a popular audience book that might revisit some of the high points of earlier feminist social research for younger generations of readers, which is a good thing!

Noted! Sounds like it’s a pop book with citations in the index, in which case it’s nice that it’s revisiting some of the high points of earlier feminist social research for younger generations of readers.

Right…that’s the “sandwich generation” concept that social work scholars id’ed in the early 1980s. If the book has citations, it’s nice to revisit some of the high points of earlier feminist social research for younger generations of readers.
