As fallout from the Cornell story continues, do you want to hear some history about the rape-on-campus/false-accusation panic from someone who was starting college as it took shape? Because this isn’t new, and it’s going to get ugly

Many low income people are in fact stay at home parents because the cost of daycare is so high that their salary if they went to work would not cover it.

Finally illustrated this idea like I’ve wanted to do since I posted this three years ago!! 🌿🖤
A woman who is covered in a splotchy nebula texture of blue, green, purple, and pink. She is leaning forward with her hands behind her slightly arched back. In her hands are a lulav (long rod made of three different tree branches), and an etrog (a fruit with an elongated and bumpy lemon shape/color). 

Her leg is signed “M.Nutz”

Surrounding her in bold black handwriting is the quote: “Joy is a deep release of the soul, and it includes death and pain. Joy is any feeling fully felt, any experience we give our whole being to. We are conditioned to choose pleasure and to reject pain, but the truth is, any moment of our life fully inhabited…any immersion in the full depth of life, can be the source of deep joy.” — Rabbi Alan Lew

One of my most hated climate denialism talking points. No one said we'd all be dead in 12 years. Scientists did say we were running out of time to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and avoid even worse effects of climate change. They were right!

Reminder that the belief that “brains don’t mature until 25” has been discredited as a misreading of a study with subjects of up to age 25. And whether you know that or not, trans rights are human rights. Do not limit the rights of trans people on medical procedures.

Anyway, here’s a section that will cut you to your core. Odds are 1-2% of the local Latino population has been deported & one community member thinks 25% have left.
“We lost a lot of our community,” said Rudy Trujillo, owner of accounting firm Trujillo Service at 420 E. Lake St., whose clients are mostly Latino immigrants.
He estimates that one in four Latinos left the Twin Cities, either by self-deportation or moving to another state.
No hard data is yet available. About 235,000 Hispanic people lived in the seven-county metro area in 2024, according to census data. The 5,000th detainee (most detainees were of Latin-American descent) was flown out of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in August, Minnesota Reformer reports.

convinced some people's positions on trans issues can only be explained not by an active desire for trans elimination or fear of trans people and more for the idea that trans people don't have real problems. which is not rooted at all in material reality. so a pretty untenable position to have.

This is the core philosophy that undergirds my own approach to worldbuilding. Every world (including the one we live in right now!) is built of complex, interacting systems. Worldbuilding is choosing which systems to feature, how closely to examine them, and how to weigh their products and outcomes.

"Your brains stop developing at age 25" was a press misrepresentation of a study. They wanted to see if brains continued to develop after adolescence, so the study was capped at age 25. A later study with a wider subject pool showed that brains are ALWAYS developing our whole lives.
