The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.

Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.

Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.

Well said: “…how mission-oriented industries exploit passion to bypass good labor practices, with examples that include teaching, non-profits, art, and academia”
Sarah Jaffe's book Work Won't Love You Back really shaped my thinking on this. The book is all about how mission-oriented industries exploit passion to bypass good labor practices, with examples that include teaching, non-profits, art, and academia.

The "Post-COVID-19 Cognitive Impairment" section in the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine report is worthy of reflection.

As is the question of why we don't hear about it from the institutions that told us it was safe to ignore COVID.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

Mayor KenSimCity & his ABC ilk - having committed to slashing tens of millions of dollars from "non-core" services - still plan to spend $1M on a #Vancouver selfie sign. They want a First Nations artist to design it. If that Indigenous artist has any integrity that sign will read "Unceded Land"!
