If you’re using Mastodon on iOS I *highly* recommend using the Metatext app https://apps.apple.com/az/app/metatext/id1523996615

It’s more polished than the official app, makes it easier to follow and find people across instances, lets you paste images into the text editor, and is generally just really nice to use

‎Metatext

‎Metatext is a free, modern, open source, and accessible Mastodon client. Features: - Multiple accounts: You can add multiple accounts and even use several accounts simultaneously with iPad multitasking. - Emoji: Metatext has a searchable custom emoji picker and supports animated custom emoji. -…

The southwest US border is under unprecedented migration pressure.

Asylum reform cannot come close to fully addressing this challenge.

In this new Policy Paper, I argue that extended labor mobility channels for Central America are an essential component of the response.

And I spell out five difficult, necessary proposals for those lawful migration channels. Download here—>

Pathways for Labor Migration from Northern Central America: Five Difficult but Necessary Proposals

Few labor-based pathways for regular migration are available for people in Northern Central America. This paper summarizes the state of labor-based migration channels in the region and argues that extending those channels is a necessary complement to asylum reform. It offers five recommendations for long-term reform to unleash the benefits of these pathways.

Interesting paper JMP that, in conjunction with other work, highlights the need for some slack resources and capacity in areas that accept refugees/immigrants and the need for adding resources quickly during a surge. Otherwise, the surge in service demand can have (-) spillovers.

Why do fewer female students take science than male students?

Maybe it’s because “girls don’t like hard maths” @[email protected] @[email protected]

Maybe it’s because of a lack of female role models in STEM @[email protected] @[email protected]
