Hearing aids don’t work like glasses.They are helpful in amplifying sounds, but not clarity. Most people with #hearingloss can hear that someone is talking to them; they just can’t understand what words are being said. https://livingwithhearingloss.com/2015/01/16/how-to-have-a-better-conversation-with-someone-with-hearing-loss/
How to Have A Better Conversation With Someone With Hearing Loss

The first step in having better conversations is for our friends and family to understand how those of us with hearing loss actually hear.

Food for thought.
"For Trump world, Christian Nationalists and fascists are a means to an end. They are easily riled up, gullible rubes who will open their wallets, fill their rallies, & pull the lever at the ballot box. In some cases, they are dangerous sociopaths who will fulfill their entirely predictable role of spreading terror & death to help perpetuate the idea that America is a place of carnage and decline that requires a strong, authoritarian leader to fix it." #USPolitics https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/trump-leans-in-on-crazy-scary
Trump Leans In On Crazy Scary

Things Keep Looking Worse for Justice Thomas and his Billionaire Buddy

Another blockbuster story has thrust embattled Justice Clarence Thomas back in the national spotlight. ProPublica reported on Thursday morning that billionaire Harlan Crow had paid the hefty private school tuition bill for Thomas’s great nephew, Mark Martin. The Thomases had taken legal custody of Martin at age six and were “raising him as a son.”

The bill contains a provision that would establish new emergency jurisdiction for courts whenever a minor in the state is receiving or going to receive gender-affirming medical care. Additionally, it specifies that gender-affirming medical care constitutes “serious physical harm” justifying a court issuing a warrant to take possession of a child as part of enforcing a child custody determination.

Horrific.

Great point: Race isn’t the problem with the American experiment so much as it is the best indicator of the experiment’s structural problems.

You cannot love America and avoid the topic of race

I talk about race because I believe in the country's future.
