You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time.
When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

The clerks where I get my lunch said a man came in last week and asked them where the public entrance to 26 Federal Plaza was. He locked his bike outside, and it’s been there since.

Programs that make it easier for working class kids to attend college are also illegally woke because *it is well recognized that race and ethnicity are inseparable from socioeconomic status* Starting to get a real vibe about this whole *merit* thing... www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/hi...

It’s not that the pay is low for teaching bc it’s mostly women. It’s that the pay is low so women are funneled into the job.
One of the things I enjoy most about summer is that I get to hack away at the pile of books I really want to read but can't get to during the school year. First on the list this year was "Holding It Together" by @jessicacalarco.com. Trust me, you need to read this book. 1/

If we want men to be less lonely, we should start by socializing them in boyhood to be part of a shared project of care. Give them dolls, toy kitchens, and tea sets. Ask them to help care for younger children. Expect them to clean up after themselves. Let them feel the work and value of care. 1/
When I see people complain about male loneliness, it is so painfully OBVIOUS to me that most of these lonely men are men who feel entitled to a woman who does that labor for them, who acts as their agent enmeshing them into community through unpaid pro-social labor on their behalf.
