History shows that patriarchy is not natural, nor does it begin with fathers in families. According to Angela Saini, author of the new book THE PATRIARCHS, patriarchy begins with state power, and slowly works its way into families. In addition, men did not gain power over women by being "stronger." They did it by setting up networks of political support -- and by systematically dismantling support for women. This recent LSE lecture from Saini is a fascinating listen. https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/patriarchy-where-did-it-all-begin/id279428154?i=1000614580804

Meg Elison today on why writers would ever think to farm their creativity to a machine:

"This is the best job on earth not because of what it brings me, but in the actual doing. If you’ll pardon me a little crudity, it feels like asking if I want a robot to do all my lovemaking so that I can experience the weird, low-quality orgasms it interpolates."

And that's all that needs be said about that.

God will never give you more than you can handle, unless you were born in the wrong place or don't have money. That makes God super mad.

Despite CNN’s shameful claims about DJT’s “traditional” campaign, he is not a “traditional” candidate in any way.

And given his past, he never will be.

Stop the nonsense.
Stop normalizing this.
Nothing about his candidacy is normal.

Tell your parents! Tell your deans!

“History majors had a lower unemployment rate than economics, business management or communications majors, and their salaries barely lag behind in those fields, according to a recent study.”

Opinion | Colleges Should Be More Than Just Vocational Schools

Elected officials have pushed vocational programs at the expense of the liberal arts. That’s hurting America.

Every day is like "starting tomorrow only people who post ‘Elon is cool' will be eligible to have their tweets appear in English" and the entire press corps and all of my friends continue to post there like nothing has changed
