Hot tip that is probably actually pretty lukewarm but i currently feel like a genius: if you want to wear earrings but your ears aren't pierced and you hate the feeling of clip-ons, you can get ear cuffs that go around the back of your ear instead. So much comfier omg.

It is a really stark and frustrating contrast the way that White people get to "learn as we go" and "work on doing better".
Meanwhile Black people are fired for doing too well, trying to bring in best practices and we won't even be hired if we don't already have the knowledge.

So while @officialpax.bsky.social still keeps The #PAX Together Intersection pages up for both West and #Unplugged it is clear that the version of the Intersection that was centered on opportunities for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, & disabled folks is gone.

Something I don't see people talk enough about is Dolly Parton's Imagination Library that supplies free books to kids from birth to age 5.
She was a wonderful lady who truly lived her values. She could have done anything with her wealth, and she chose to give back. We lost someone precious today.

Oh you mean like the nuance that uni being prohibitively expensive? How college loans are predatory? That inflation and cost of living has skyrocketed since our parents' generation? How young people can't work a min wage job to pay for tuition bc it hasn't increased since 2009?
That nuance? No?

Gluesenkamp Perez: "At town halls, what I saw was the people who were the most upset had spent the last 12 years driving their girls to sports practice & they view their best shot of their student going to college as an athletic scholarship. So when we rush to moralize we miss some of the nuance."

Hey folks. So the storms this month were more damaging than originally thought, but not enough for my insurance to kick in.
I have really been going through it so I don't have the funds to stop the leak.
If you have some spare coins, it would be really helpful.
