Today’s realization listening back to this is that the entire reactionary centrist movement is “but what was she wearing” for liberals

Can you guys do The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin? She's a self help guru, her dad worked in the Clinton Administration, her in laws are lawyers and her husband too, they clerked the supreme court.... She is an interesting lady... who acts like happiness is a series of choices... And never acknowledges her incredible privilege. She purposely avoids any talk of mental illness, disability, poverty, etc. Oh, and it's got sequels... She's designed her own personality quiz, and shocker, she's got the best personality type. 🤦🏻♀️

The ‘how often do you self-censor’ question is the speech equivalent of ‘how often do you hold in your farts’. A lot of it comes down to politeness and basic consideration of others.

there are so many reasons to be concerned about how math is taught for equity for all. i tutored a Ukrainian refugee, a math competition winner, who would get so frustrated with her American eighth grade math classes because it’s basically all word problems! she was so good at math but didn’t know English yet; why are we tying math and English abilities so closely and limiting achievement?
