Used to be one in Citrus Heights. It was gross. Wouldn’t expect any less.

This is a great metaphor for why psychiatry is pseudoscience

Sociologist Matthew Desmond has an amazing book called Evicted that talks about criminal act evictions and profiles people who have been the target of them. The book follows very low income renters in Milwaukee through years of their struggles to find and keep housing. It also follows individual landlords from the same neighborhoods. It’s technically an academic subject and is impeccably researched (the notes section in the back could be its own book) but it reads like a novel. It won a Pulitzer iirc.

He also just published Poverty, By America last year. I’ve only just started it, but it’s just as readable. He explains overly-complicated regulations and social services red tape in a way that’s concise and easy to understand, and he illustrates their consequences through his interviews with real people. His books should be required reading for every American.

I vaguely remember MuchMusic becoming Fuse at some point

What it’s like being a TA

I hope so. You’d have to be crazy to think like that otherwise.

I’ve never stayed in an Airbnb and I never will, but I’ve seen these management companies AirBnB-ing out hotel rooms in Vegas at places like the Rio. It’s the same price as going through the actual hotel. You still have to pay the resort fees. You still check in at the front desk.

I literally cannot understand wtf that’s about.

“Nothing happens in god’s world by mistake.” “God never gives you more than you can handle.” Etc etc.

When 1 in 6 women has been sexually assaulted in their lives (and many men and NB folks), that’s a really fucked up thing to say. You never know what someone’s been through, and I’ve personally been through a lot of awful things. I guess it helps some people to tell themselves this kind of shit, but it is impossible to me to think of any kind of meaning that would make being a victim of violent crime “positive” or “worth it” or “a learning experience” blah blah blah. I think the term for that is “toxic positivity.”

So either “everything happens for a reason” is utter bullshit, or god is a sadistic fucking asshole.

deranged conspiracy theory nonsense

They teach that stuff in business schools because it actually is useful to divide a population like that

Hmm
