The reason there is lower "ROI" from a college degree now than in 1970s is women made up about 40% of the college population in 1970 and over 60% now... and the five top fields women go into (teaching, nursing, social work, librarianship, arts/nonprofit administration) are all underpaid.

Part of the reason I write all this is because the most common excuse I hear is "well, I'm just taking it to a level I know hurts them." Babe, I'm famously petty. You don't gotta sell me on saying hurtful things. I've never needed to incur splash damage to psychically devastate someone. Get good.

Maybe art is a response to the times we are living through. Maybe the most-celebrated art is something that is both crafted with excellence and resonates with the moment. (To quote Brecht: "In dark times Will there also be singing? Yes, there will be singing. About the dark times.")

I am being stalked by Loud People. Last night I was in a mostly empty restaurant and the Loud Man in the corner sounded like he was projecting to a whole conference room. (Trust me, did it myself all day.) The lady in the plane row ahead of me is talking loud enough to be heard in the bathroom.

My partner's dad's last wife had polio as a child in rural Italy. Her lower legs were eventually amputated in an effort to make it possible (w/prosthetics) for her to walk. Today she resents the ableism of that view & lives with many post-polio syndrome complications. www.amazon.com/Such-Pretty-...

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

My hot take: We are not arguing about SSRIs. Some of us are using them as prescribed by our doctors to treat mental health difficulties. This administration has decided that's a problem based on no actual research.

This is very cool news - SF looks to be getting its own version of KEXP's Gathering Space, which is one of Seattle's incredible public gems. I've seen amazing bands play there, sometimes for free, sometimes for super cheap. I've bought a kid a rainbow SubPop hat that made his day. I love that place.

I am agnostic on what trans people "should" do re: centrist Ds in this election b/c I think that is for trans people to decide. However, "holding my nose, suppressing the urge to punch something while voting for a candidate whose messaging is hostile to me" is a familiar experience for women & POC.

You can tell we're a country of idiots by how easily we're convinced to debate the 1% of trans people who want the right to live their lives authentically and safely and don't negatively impact our lives instead of the billionaires who spend every day making our lives genuinely tangibly worse.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

Last year's plums got made into plum BBQ sauces, one of which my partner flavored with ginger and 5-spice. I put chicken breasts in the Instant pot with sauce, water, and sliced yellow onions. The results are great with slaw on sliders and will make tacos tonight.
four small brioche "slider" buns on a blue plate, each one filled with pulled chicken topped with a slaw made from green and red cabbages, cilantro, and shallots.
