"we will reward you for becoming a good capitalist, but screw you if you think college is for anything besides business."
"What about encouraging women and minorities from lower socioeconomic statuses to go into STEM? Or teaching?"
"NOPE. Gotta have another fro-yo franchise on the south side."
Forget about structural inequality or environmental racism. The most urgent need our disadvantaged neighborhoods have is for a Smoothie King franchise.
Neoliberalism is a helluva drug.

A thread wherein the founder of Quillette goes full eugenicist, after expounding upon her dogma about "race" and genetics. Simply rejecting the science here doesn't make you a brave truth-teller, it makes you an unrepentant racist.
See, among many other books, this excellent discussion of how racists try to dress their theories up in genetic science (and wildly mis-characterize the science while they do so): amazon.com/dp/B077XL1W4V/…

Spent the evening at the Grand Ole Opry and had a surprisingly good time. Enjoyed all the acts, and heard some great bluegrass, too
Bluegrass legend Jessie McReynolds in an equally legendary pink velour blazer
Mac Powell and the Family Reunion were awesome, esp when they jammed with Ricky Scaggs

Trump’s WORLDWIDE Effect on the Global Reproductive Rights of Women

Trump and his conservative Christian-centric administration are using positions of authority to impose religious policies on long-established reproductive rights that put women around the world at risk.
Background

Ronald Reagan signed the Mexico City Policy in 1984. This sweeping mandate against reproductive freedom around the globe denied,

“US federal funds to any organisation involved in providing abortion services overseas or counselling women about them.”
Though revoked by every Democrat and reinstated by every Republican
since, Trump has taken up the cause with renewed vigor.

Every time the global gag has been reimposed by a Republican president, rates of back street and self-administered abortions have increased.

Here’s a little lesson in business registration for my US and Jamaican followers:

Most US companies are gusteres in Delaware because it has the most favourable laws for businesses AND “has a separate Court of Chancery to hear cases involving corporate law”

No corp taxes either
Just read this - delawareinc.com/blog/facebook-…

Jamaica is nothing like the USA.

I can register in a different state and do business across each state with certain registrations and/or licenses. The USA is a union of individual states.
Most entrepreneurs setup an S Corp or an LLC in their home state, mine is Florida (no personal income taxes so a pass-through entity is preferred and we have Homestead Exemption too).

But that is just at the startup phase to keep over head low.

Learn German, Interestingly

Sadly, the covert and slo-mo war against #German women is also being waged by way of encouraging women to ride bicycles amid dangerous road #traffic. Today, the #SüddeutscheZeitung published data according to which in 2018 alone, six premenopausal #women died in #Germany as a ..
.. result of being run over by a #lorry/#truck when riding their #bicycle: the newspaper claims the following deaths:
2018-01-23: a 10-year old woman in #BrandenburgAnDerHavel
2018-03-29: a 31-year old woman in #Leipzig
2018-04-04: a 24-year old woman in #Bremen

2018-04-30: a 16-year old woman in #Leipzig
2018-05-07: a 32-year old woman in #Hamburg
2018-05-07: a 9-year old woman in #Munich.

Of course, the list of victims of this type of accident in the #SüddeutscheZeitungMagazin of 2018-12-21 is much longer; I simply focus on ..

TV Writer Twitter talks a bunch about how to make your way into a writers' room-- becoming an assistant, writers' programs at studios, contests, etc. Did you know that there are similar tactics by which you can become a director? Just putting it out there.
Especially in the last several years as studios, networks, and individual producers have woken up to how very entrenched inherent bias is when selecting directors. (When I started, it wasn't weird for a producer to look me in the eye and say "We tried a woman. Didn't work out.")
So, THATS a fucked up thing that was happening a lot in the 21st century to women and people of color who wanted to direct some television. But it's something a lot of showrunners and execs are working to fix.

Recently, a #tenured #prof at a grp dinner made a #sexist joke. I didn't laugh.

He pointed at me & called me out on it.

"See, I knew SHE wouldn't get it."

I reported it to an #administrator & copied a 1st yr prof also present at dinner. She corroborated my story.

Thread 1/7
Like me, she couldn't say anything during dinner as senior prof collaborated w/ our prog, which he reminded us several times. The administrator I spoke to was sympathetic & concerned, & assured us that senior prof is a well-known a**. We aren't the 1st to run afoul of him. 2/7
Hearing their responses validated my experience greatly.

The 3 of us discussed how junior prof & I would deal w/ future events. One way was to ask senior prof to clarify his "jokes."

Junior prof said this was likely to be the least destructive. Administrator agreed. 3/7
