This is disastrous. There has to be a better option.

I think about Heidi Hartmann’s work on the intricate relationship between patriarchy, racism, and capitalism multiple times a day at this point.

Others theorize this, too. Hartmann was just my first really clear dive into how these structures hold each other up.

They must assign this snippet day 1 of “dehumanization 101.”

Pulling in the gendered aspect is just icing on the cake.

I would much rather someone tell me that a book didn’t work for them and why they think that was.

We may be looking for something different! Low-star reviews for books I really liked can be illuminating.

The book The Mountain in the Sea plays around with this idea!

It is not pretty.

Great cover, too!

Democracy is important so that we can have as many perspectives represented as possible.

Democracies fund social science research because they care about how people really make sense of their lives and elect representatives to go fix what they see as the cause of their biggest social problem (🍳)

These two “grounds” - which have embedded warrants - see different solutions to keeping societies stable and we are seeing them (the people who believe in/use these two ideologies) fight over what the government enforces as normal and good right now.

Neither belief is morally “good” or “bad,” but they represent very different philosophies about what society should place the highest value on.

There is no reason why the political parties can’t work for both macro stability AND facilitating living a meaningful life at the meso and micro levels.

A few days ago, I overheard a man in his late teens/early 20s encourage his dad to try sardines because “they really boost your testosterone.”

I found the interaction interesting in several ways.

And, he called the man “dad,” so I’m not just assuming their relationship - If that matters to you!

I was just thinking about this in while reading r/millennial. I like this experience of having so many people who grew up in the same context share how they are experiencing aging - in all that means - from joint pain to seeing an Eminem vinyl in the “classics” section for the first time 🙃

I’m reading a bunch of new stuff this summer to figure out what I want to assign in my social inequality class in the fall. I would love to run some ideas by you if you are open to that!

I am trying to picture any other white collar worker framing their job this way. Outside of religious officials.

This sounds like an excellent talk!

This would be one of those introvert perks for times like lockdown and super miserable weather days.
