Remember that some of these gov programs under threat were developed to replace/emulate programs first put in place by communities. The Black Panthers distributed free school lunches and breakfasts years before districts provided them. If these programs end, we can and must work to fill the gaps.

I had a months-long episode of mania last year. it deprived me of sleep and sanity and left me separated from my family. now i'm medicated and trying to find my next job in a tough market. the search is taking a long time. i'm so grateful for whatever people are able to share to help us out.

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?

For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrier—or maybe an excuse.

Fanta was created so coke could sell soda in nazi Germany around a trade embargo. IBM sold the machines that were used to track and tabulate holocaust victims. Henry Ford inspired Hitler. Big business has always collaborated with fascism. Today's businesses are bastards who are no different.

Seeing a lot of people today post some variation of "TikTok needs to be banned because it's rotted everyone's brains." It's not TikTok. You're uncomfortable with how normal people use the internet — which will always be strange and ugly — and you'll say the same thing about whatever replaces TikTok.

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.
