I graduated with a debt of $35k for my B.A. and managed to pay it off in 3.5 years, even with a low entry-level journo salary. But do I resent the new student loan forgiveness plan? Absolutely not. The economic/mental health value of affordable education cannot be underestimated.

I'm planning a mini tour of Europe in October and could use some help from the Twitterverse! What are the must-sees and hidden gems in Amsterdam, Prague, Berlin and Paris? Restaurant and hostel/hotel recs also greatly appreciated

@erinmikail So much of my job is reading tiny font for different terms and conditions of financial products, so I've learned to zoom in on that shizz.

"To move carceral health care from triage to treatment, mental health professionals need to occupy leadership roles at the administrative level, where top-down decision-making can translate to bottom-up change." #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
