Where The Rain Meets The Sky | Hiding in Plain Sight

I recently heard that many seasonal ponds aren’t returning in some parts of the world. It makes me wonder if the water can tell the future.

Might need to take a break from social media bc the Cornell stuff is really too much for me on top of everything else right now. Sending lots of love out into the universe & support to all those struggling w this, esp ppl who are responsible for young ones. It is a lot.

I remember a really frustrating conversation with a generally decent cishet white guy about a news story where a woman was roofied. he went off about wishing he could beat that guy up to avenge her, and I was like "how about start with calling out your friends' sexist tweets?" and he was like 😳

Been sitting here waiting for the matriarchy to arrive in the world & never noticed it arriving in myself. I want you to read that again. Because I have a feeling the same has happened to many others.

There’s something to be said for how most of the political spectrum can unite around hounding some lesbians over niche drama in their spaces but huge segments of society are silent about pervasive campus rape impacting a huge population of primarily youngwomen

This is a good example. It assumes that the person can afford the price of whatever shop is available, for one thing. It also misunderstands that finding someone to work on your car is, for a lot of people, a social relation as much an economic one.

Realizing that unless someone has a true & honest baseline respect for children, they probably aren’t going to do very well as a parent or teacher. Our society discourages us from having true respect for children, or from acting from that respect, & that is bad for all kids.

Not adding up: Surgical and diagnostic privatization in Ontario | CCPA

The Ontario government favours for-profit delivery of surgeries and medical imaging, but the evidence shows this isn't good health policy

Social Media Has Not Brought Liberation

Social media has been a boon to autocratic regimes and their allied movements in democracies.

Sincerely curious to find out: if you are a dad raising a son right now, how is this Cornell case hitting you? What are you doing or saying? Not trying to be a cop just trying to understand how these moments are processed by others who are different from me.

Beautifully said, thank you. I feel so much guilt when I’m not doing something to try to get better even though there isn’t anything I can actually do. I’m trying to learn how to be humble, let go of control, give in to the quiet, but it’s still a scary prospect to me.
