Friendly reminder re: salary increases: Inflation raises the price of most things each year, so... - A raise greater than inflation improves living - A 'raise' the same amount as inflation changes nothing - A 'raise' below inflation or no change is a pay cut

Trump’s shift from 'Housing First' is causing upheaval for homelessness programs and many they serve
The Trump administration is shifting federal policy and dollars away from the “Housing First” approach that has been at the heart of federal homelessness policy.

Want to reduce homelessness? The rent's too damned high. We have to do better in our definition of "affordable housing." Pegging 'affordable' rents to 50% of the median income of an area won't get it done for all the people making 30% of the median income. apnews.com/article/affo...

What's the criteria for selling out, in general? I think it's probably something like: Making statements against the current preponderance of evidence in the field that are in support of the profit-interests of an employer?

Editors do play a key role in the publishing process. Let's talk about how to show it! "Springer journal editors are volunteers (although some do receive modest stipends)" while Springer Nature makes an adjusted operating profit of €543.6 million ($593 million), based on full-year financials.

The name “Civil War emerged around 1907 as an effort to further reconcile the sides, even though the war was won (and lost) about 40 years prior. It makes me think, as others have pointed out, “Why do we call what happened on January 6, 2021, “January 6th” and not something else?”

JJ Cutuli @jjcutuli.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
Abolitionists sometimes said, “the slaveholders’ rebellion.”More moderate northerners, “the war for the Union,” or “the war for the rebellion”. Most Southerners, “War for Southern Independence.” Names matter…

Crazy thing I only just learned: The American Civil War wasn’t called that until the early 20 th century, over 40 years after it ended. So what was it called before then? Depends on who was speaking…

What is wrong with people? High schoolers celebrated our country’s founding and they’re driven out by racists? It’s easy to see that the students are the only patriots here: www.inquirer.com/education/17...
inquirer.com
Racist backlash roiled these high schoolers' production of '1776.' It strengthened their resolve.
Racially incendiary and antisemitic comments were made under social media photos of the diverse cast, which includes students of color and women playing the Founding Fathers.

Want more resilient kids? Then prioritize housing supports for them. This is the opposite of what housing policy has been in the U.S., where children's developmental needs were an afterthought (or no-thought at all). Check out #Connecticut getting it done! joewillard.substack.com/p/connecticu...
