My kid is in a club at school, and they meet 4x a week for 4 hours. So all the parents chip in and stock a "snack cabinet" (granola bars, juice boxes, etc.) because teenagers are hungry goblins.
I went to fill the cabinet and noticed a padlock on it, apparently someone had been "stealing."
I admit, this triggered me.
I spoke to the coach and told him that perhaps he should talk to the kids and find out if one of them is food insecure instead of locking up some two dollar box of granola bars.
The look on his face, I could tell it kinda clicked, he didn't even think of that, just assumed it was some punk kid breaking rules.
People who grow up with wealth don't even realize that it changes the way they think. Luckily, he's a cool guy, and he was horrified that one of 'his kids' might be hungry at home. Sometimes it just takes one comment to open up someone's eyes to their privilege.

As I tell my own children: If you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.

Kostenfrei wissenschaftliche Werke lesen?

Ich möchte euch NICHT dazu raten, die Plattformen

SciHub

oder

LibGen

zu benutzen. Da gibt es viele Literatur, vor allem englisch, aber auch erstaunlich viel deutsch, kostenfrei als PDF runterzuladen.

Pfui sag ich! Denn wer was auf sich hält, zahlt 100€ für den Zugriff auf ne pdf.

Freier Zugang zu wissenschaftlichem Material würde Teile der Bevölkerung verunsichern. Deshalb: Bleibt bei Verlagen, die zahlen immerhin Horare von äääh 0€ für Artikel.

Seasonal reminder: Alcohol is a completely legal drug that destroys lives, relationships and families. Don't make it hard for people who are trying to stay sober to enjoy festivities and functions.

This is one of my favorite pictures. It feels like it was taken yesterday… but it was taken in a Paris public garden nearly a hundred years ago. Everything feels modern: the composition, the casualness, the daring clothes, haircuts, and accessories.

The colors are original: this is an #autochrome, using the first process for color #photography invented by the Lumière brothers in 1903.

The women are unknown, but I can't help wondering how they fared a few years later in nazi-occupied Paris.
