This is a reminder that kids are not disposable.
We are not practicing on this group to get ready for the next.
We are serving every student who comes into our sphere of influence or we are failing all of them, one at a time.

This seems interesting. It is exactly the type of story I would have read in a copy of The New Yorker or Readers' Digest as a girl. As an adult with a deeper knowledge base regarding capitalism, marriage, and society, I'm even more intrigued.

An advertising executive’s exasperation with the business world strains his marriage in this pitch-perfect satire from Courtney Maum. It’s a gem. @littlebrown https://t.co/JHu5MRTuuD

After watching university students protest for housing at some schools & seeing housing weaponized to kill protests at others, we have to see what a big deal this is. In a state w/ a vast economic disparity, we have to know that affordable collegiate housing is lifechanging.

[Michael Tubbs @MichaelDTubbs]

I know that building affordable housing in CA is possible, because I did it in Stockton.

As Lt. Governor, I plan to build more affordable housing on our UC, CSU and community college campuses so students and staff can afford to call CA home.

Don’t think God won’t do it because He hasn’t done it yet. Don’t stop praying because you haven’t had your answer yet. Don’t stop believing because you haven’t had your breakthrough yet. Don’t stop sowing because you haven’t seen your harvest yet. Don’t stop seeking because you haven’t found it yet. Not now doesn’t mean not ever — it may just mean, not yet. If God said it, He will do it. He who promised is faithful.

“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent.Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” Numbers 23:19

As I consider a specialty change, I want to keep this story in mind.

2025 PLOT!!!
During a mathematics course at Columbia University, a student called George Dantzig fell asleep and woke up to the sound of his classmates talking. As the lesson ended, he noticed the lecturer had written two problems on the whiteboard. He assumed these were homework assignments, so he copied them into his notepad to tackle later.

When he first attempted the problems, he found them quite difficult. However, he persevered, spending hours in the library gathering references and studying until he was able to solve one of the problems, though it was challenging.

To his surprise, the lecturer didn’t ask about the homework in the next class.

Curious, the student stood up and asked, "Doctor, why didn’t you ask about the assignment from the previous lecture?"

The lecturer replied, "Required? It wasn’t mandatory. I was simply presenting examples of mathematical problems that science and scientists had not yet solved."

Shocked, the student responded, "But I solved one of them in four papers!"

The solution he discovered was eventually credited to him and documented at Columbia University. The four papers he wrote on the issue are still on display at the institution.

The key reason the student was able to solve the problem was that he didn’t hear the lecturer say, "No one has found a solution." Instead, he believed it was a problem worth solving and approached it without frustration, ultimately succeeding.

This story serves as a reminder: don't listen to those who tell you that you can't achieve something, as many young people today are surrounded by negativity and doubt. Some people intentionally plant seeds of failure and frustration.

You have the power to achieve your goals, overcome obstacles, and fulfill your aspirations. Simply trust in God and keep trying.

two questions I asked my interviewees about pregnancy in academia:

was there anything particularly harmful said or done to you during your pregnancy?
was there anything particularly helpful said or done?

I would love to hear more responses to these questions, so comment below!

I hope you all are having a happy summer! I'll be cooking and planning today.

[Ms. Gen @Ms_happytoBhere]

@ProficientMinds I feel that! My nephew is an infant and I was doing an interpretive dance to a worship song while talking to my sister, but I realized he was paying attention when I stopped... so I had to keep going for like 3 more minutes. Why was the song like 5 and half minutes long? 😅😂

[Ms. Gen @Ms_happytoBhere]

@Robert_Martin72 It is my dream that policing around the world will change so that more people will have experiences like I have had: knowing officers who support community safety and welfare, defend the defenseless, and look for ways to relate to the maligned and love them well.

[Ms. Gen @Ms_happytoBhere]

@Robert_Martin72 To steal someone else's home is a wicked act. My heart breaks for people who have lost the homes they've built, inherited, and/or worked for in this way. May God avenge them. May He guard them and their next home or restore this one to them and watch over them still.
