Pallets of cash to Iran, you say?
Finally, I’ve been waiting for Brennan to do this for months!

1. DuBois on the "wages of whiteness" corsi.unibo.it/2cycle/Globa...
2. England & Reskin on the status penalty of work linked to women--which = lower earnings

So cool and crafty! 😊
I tell my students that if I ever hear it coming from one of their various devices, they will be banned from class and their course grade: F 😂
Feelings (one hit wonder Morris Albert) or The Pina Colada Song. I’m old.
A cattle ranch in Central Florida. Third grade, early ‘70s. Saw a cow being butchered. Traumatized. Not sure who thought that was a good idea.
I'm sure there are some women working at Palantir, though likely not in any position of power, and I hope they're taking notes every time Karp says something wildly misogynistic. He's a walking discrimination lawsuit. newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

I know my friends in #KansasCity support their local theaters, so please take a look at supporting these kids and their school theater performances. I did plays in high school, and it means the world for kids to see an audience out there for them! Thanks!
