Men perceive women as dominating a conversation when our contributions are 35% or more of it, and we've just seen a study that they perceive areas of study & professions as female dominated & less/not desirable at ~30%, thus male college enrollment is down, college is seems as too feminine now.
I was gonna say, the one where men perceive women as talking too much when they were talking half as much as men.

Another $10 received- can anyone help me keep the match train rolling? I've got under 3 hours to catch up and I'm more at $515. $185 more and I'll reach rent.
Please keep sharing, and contribute if you can?

I got cocky and blew off two of my cardinal skincare rules [don’t use a physical exfoliant after a chemical one and then super don’t also add on a new product]. I’m paying for my hubris with a hydrocolloid bandage the size of manhattan on my poor cheek

They just quoted me $1,000 for the X-ray and the bloodwork. I told them to just start with the X-ray which is gonna be $350, but in the case they have to do bloodwork—I just can’t.
Anything helps.

An emergency has come up with Ichi and I have to take him to the ER. I hate asking for funds again, but I want to make sure he’s taken care of—I’m really anxious about it. I’m so sorry, and thank you in advance 🖤

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

We need more SFF in translation, these are magnificent works and help make the SFF conversation global! Please pitch in to get it over the top!
Embroidered Worlds cost $30K and we raised it all, in a combination of a grant and the Kickstarter. For one book. For white writers.
Here, we're trying to get to $10K. After nine months. For two books.
We (yes, wp we) have to see the world differently.
This is beautiful. I hope you see it:

We need to be able to see that the line "accommodations have gone too far" is an expression of the ableist notion that disabled students do not belong in higher ed. Its fundamentally an anxiety about the fact that disabled students get an "advantage" over abled students.

Hi! This is a labeler account meant to identify Substack links. If you didn't know, Substack actively courts and platforms Nazis. If you quit X/Twitter because of the Nazi problem, well, what are you still doing on Substack? There are plenty of alternatives which may be more cost-effective for you.
