Risk factors for IPV in the Caribbean reproduce the classic pattern see elsewhere: the importance of early childhood exposure to violence, harmful alcohol use, and poverty as drivers of violence as well as gender inequality.

New data on IPV from 5 Caribbean countries finds once again how few abused women reach out to formal services. We must train mothers and friends—the “first responders” how to support women appropriately. @prevention-collaborative.org

Matthew Yglesias on X: "Something I would like sane conservatives to consider is the possibility that DOGE cuts to medical research, the Social Security Administration, and foreign aid are conducted with the same level of care and rigor as we see in trade policy but without the market feedback" / X

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.
Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. ..
It was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?"
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.
