Wrote about the Millennial Vernacular of Fatphobia:

The digitization of Seventeen is very haphazard and weirdly catalogued but I was so thrilled to find the Letters to the Editor re: that cover; if you're one of those college girls from Wheaton who debated this in your dorm, let's chat Image
A reader just sent me this (fairly heartening?) screenshot that's been making the rounds in her 14-year-old daughter's Snapchat world Image

Good morning, Teaching Appreciation Week is a farce!

Wow have you ever noticed that we only have designated "appreciation" holidays for occupations we don't actually appreciate as a society

The United States is particularly good at looking a sprawling problem like systemic disinvestment in public education square in the face and thinking “I bet some very small individual purchases will fix this.”

Have you seen a local story on 'businesses can't fill positions b/c low pay + COVID fears' (that may or may not blame unemployment benefits)? I'm collecting them
Here's one today in the Chicago Tribune:

This nut allergy / kid coddling essay is so bizarre; do we not recall what became of the last over-coddled generation (answer: after being shamed for moving back into our parents' basements if those basements existed in the first place, we turned into work robots)
Also there's a great section in Barbara Ehrenreich's FEAR OF FALLING where she quotes a bunch of different conservative writers bemoaning the state of coddled and lazy boomers (in their 20s) in the 1970s
Midge Decter's LIBERAL PARENTS, RADICAL CHILDREN (1975): the boomer who "languishes now in a hospital where the therapists feel that in another few months he might attempt a few tasks & even...hold down a job"

Feels quite on the nose that Chip & Joanna Gaines' latest Waco real estate purchase is.....the home of the Waco Tribune-Herald

also omg forgot to share that one of the Baylor influencer twins (currently finishing up their senior year) got engaged yesterday
reminds me of the Christian university where many of my friends went where one of the women's dorms had sweatshirts depicting the three thing residents should do before graduating and one of them was get an engagement ring?????

I am enduringly fascinated by the US vaccine rollout map because it resists any attempt at straightforward narrative/explanation
You can make some immediate extrapolations here looking at some of these clusters but then they fall apart
Montana, however, is a pretty straightforward narrative: tribal nations getting it done (Glacier County has fully vaccinated 99+% of the population 65 and older)
