I do not want to give this article a click. I just want to talk about how the man in the stock photo does not actually appear to be white (at least by U.S. standards).
Screenshot of a Fox News headline about the plight of white men in the workplace, featuring a photograph of a racially ambiguous man with eyes closed, pinching the bridge of his nose, wearing a light-colored dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He sits in an office with natural light and a plant behind him, at a white table with an open laptop and a pair of folded eyeglasses.

Lately I’ve been trying to avoid Facebook, but occasionally, it gives me something great.

Joni Hurst holding a baseball bat in an empty stadium wearing a red batting helmet, red and white gloves, and (for some reason) a knee length, red and white houndstooth shift dress with a narrow black belt or trim slightly above the natural waistline A screenshot of the comments with names and photos whited out.

Patched a pair of sweatpants. I lucked out: I had some leftover fabric from cutting off overalls from the same brand. #mending #HannaAndersson

Finally got this pair of overalls patched for my son. I’m not thrilled about the corners and will probably fix them later, but sometimes, good enough is good enough. #mending
Close up of a roughly square patch of matching fabric hand-sewn onto the leg of a child’s denim overalls. Backstitch is a bit uneven and corners are kind of messy.
