I think its bc we measure adulthood through independence while making independence increasingly unaffordable. Ppl end up interpreting their economic dependence as evidence of personal immaturity, then seeking the social leniency we afford children. It's a strange feedback loop.

I think one less discussed consequence of this is that ppl w/ less money have to justify their absence from important moments in other ppl's lives bc financial constraints are experienced as relational failures. So inequality shapes who is perceived as a good friend/family member

“Support women’s sports” and then we schedule a Finals game this was. Sad and unacceptable tbh
WNBA Finals Game 6 will be played Thursday at 12:30 p.m. ET at State Farm Arena, per @ramonashelburne.
That Game 5 of the WNBA Finals competes with the MLB World Series isn’t even the most embarrassing part for women’s sports this week:
Game 6 [guaranteed] just got moved to LUNCHTIME on Thursday because the league is so incompetent.

This is 9:30 in the morning for the Golden State Valkyries solely because the Atlanta Dream doesn’t want to play in their home arena, which only seats 3,500 (!!!!!) people.

I think everyone saying it's so easy to get on disability benefits and get rich should just do it then. If it's so good and so easy. Don't just fantasize about it. Get on. Get your "bag" or whatever. I dare you.

New: Little has been done to stop a bird flu outbreak on a Utah mink farm. Experts say officials’ failure to act is “irresponsible’’ and “astounding.” propub.li/47AsJDY

If a personal website—which is more of a static portfolio than anything—has been hosted by Wordpress for a decade, what, if anything, should its owner be doing to keep it safe?

The discourse on the Eagles’ handling of Jalen Hurt’s health ignores the real problem:
that the NFL is nothing more than a bunch of old white men offering young Black men the promise of generational wealth by paying money to watch them destroy their bodies for our entertainment.
So Jalen Hurts learned about the blood clot before the Eagles game in London. Doctors told him not to sleep as a precaution, so Hurts started an NFL game after being awake for 36 hours, including an international flight. Now imaging has shown additional blood clots in his lungs. He's going on blood thinners and will be out for the rest of the year. What are we doing here? That's the most horrific player safety plan I have ever seen.

the Duke football situation is very telling about who has been and contributed on a football sideline and who hasn’t. Sports Medicine professionals, former coaching staff, and former legit players all know the player was out of line
Imagine how this guy treats women when there aren’t tens of thousands of eyes on him.
THAT needs to be the story here.
We're not talking enough about THIS moment from the #Duke football game immediately after he struck her
She is AFRAID of him after the first hit and is now watching his face and keeping her arm up to attempt to protect herself from another blow from Kimari Robinson
