One nanny isn’t cutting it anymore. Some parents are spending upward of $250,000 on teams for their children. Luxury services offer potty-training, baby chefs and bike-riding lessons.

It's bitterly funny that the Fight Club adaptation literally tells you the math corporations do to decide whether or not to accept a recall, and how they're super fine with a certain number of deaths, and none of these meathead men who make Tyler Durden their personality remember it at all

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

India just generated 50% of its electricity from clean sources. For 15 minutes. Sounds trivial? That's how every record starts: first minutes, then a day, then a month, then a whole year. Some states are already there: Karnataka crossed 60% clean power last year.

for anyone who knows the incredible Oji-Cree writer & friend of the bookstore Joshua Whitehead, his father Peter passed away suddenly & his family are asking for help. if you’re in a place to help through a donation or resharing it will mean the world to him and his family gofund.me/52720ca90
Funds for Peter
Whitehead's Funeral and
Memorialization
Organized by
Krista Whiteheadif you didn't know my dad, Peter, trust me you did if you've read my works. he was a seminal part of full-metal, Jonny, Making Love with the Land, my editorial approaches, & my two forthcoming works. he's the joyful motor, the translator of pain and ruin into joy and futurisms, that animates so much of my published work (though god knows i'm not always the best practitioner of it always yet). nearly everything i've tried to do has been in spite of what he was told he could never, but, perhaps more importantly, legacy work for him, the violences the 60s Scoop placed upon him/us, his mother (my grandmother's) place in MMIWG2S, & aiding him in achieving his own goals as a Cree man. everything i have, everything i've been able to share with Canadian & Indigenous literatures (& the research and pedagogies of them) is owed to my father. if i can have a fraction of his fortitude & drive whenever my time comes, i'll have felt i succeeded. that i touched the divine, something akin to god."On June 20, 2026, Peter Whitehead, our beloved husband/ father/papa passed away suddenly and very unexpectedly. Our family, between AB (Treaty 8) and MB (Treaty 1), is deep in mourning and aiming to meet Peter's final wishes with limited to no financial assistance for his funeral, memorialization, and the caretaking of family costs. Hence, his daughter Krista has put together a GoFundMe and call for community aid at this time to assist his family, wife, children, and final wishes during this grieving period. At this time, Peter's family, friends, and communities would like to thank all who have reached out, sent their love, flowers, food, have visited, shared stories, and overall supported us during this time so far. And to anyone willing and able to donate: please know we are deeply touched by everyone's generosity and care".

Black text on a white page that reads as follows:

In January, our administration inherited a $12 billion budget deficit — a fiscal crisis greater than the Great Recession. 

Today I am proud to announce that our balanced budget has cleared the final step and passed the New York City Council. 

We balanced the budget by taxing the rich and making government more efficient. We did not balance this budget on the backs of working people, and we never will. 

Every year that follows will build on these principles: Honest budgeting. Fiscal discipline. Transparent government. And an unwavering belief that working people deserve a government that delivers for them every day.
