How in the hell did I not find out about Biidaasige Park until after it opened?! Recreating waterfront space in cities and taking rivers out of their concrete boxes are my absolute favorite things I need to go to Toronto

“I stand with the troops” is about as rhetorically honest as “Won’t somebody think of the children?” It’s an emotional appeal designed to shut down discourse about stopping wars, which tells you a lot about anyone who says it

I’m looking up books for a thing I’m working on and got a Prager U ad on the Antifa Comic Book We’re outfunded, but that’s not going to save them in the end

Women have been better at leading diverse countries because they focus more on inclusivity than maintaining patriarchy “It is possible for countries and their economies to benefit from diversity instead of suffering from its challenges” www.researchgate.net/profile/Susa...
Screenshot from the research article “Consistent with our hunch, our most striking finding was about the times when women led very diverse countries rather than men. In these contexts, female leaders were significantly more likely than male leaders to have fast-growing economies. In particular, the countries in the highest quartile of racial/ethnic diversity benefited the most. When led by a woman, they had an average of 5.4% GDP growth in the subsequent year, as compared with their male counterparts' 1.1%. Our quantitative analysis suggests that it is possible for countries and their economies to benefit from diversity instead of suffering from its challenges, which include intergroup conflicts, discrimination, and biases toward marginalized groups.”
