@aethaeus@saguaro_ghost Louisville has this. Look up the Cherokee Triangle. It’s large Victorian mansions that surround a huge park created by the same man who designed Central Park in NYC. Expensive, but not as expensive as Santa Cruz.
@Emolclause Why do poor people want to rely so badly on rich people who have never done anything to help poor people? Do poor people not realize that they are simply maintained to generate more wealth for the wealthy? Poor people are the cattle of the rich…
@KYCooperrider Facilities budget is earmarked by the government and can’t be spent on other things. Of course, you know that the past two legislative cycles, there has been an emphasis on aging school buildings state wide.
What might be more interesting to look at is absentee rates vs grads
Someone called me pretentious the other day for saying I read Dostoyevsky when I was 15, and that got me thinking—why have we created a culture where engaging deeply with ideas and challenging yourself is considered pretentious?
@MarcoFoster_@GeauxGabrielle@RepAOC I have generational wealth friends who INSIST on explaining all the ways they earn and budget. It’s such a bad look. And a myth. Just say you manage your inheritance. At least it’s honest.
The Washington Post is getting rid of its Books section. We’re losing the institutions—journalism, middle-class artistic and intellectual culture—that once made life bearable. Those things were a threat to the super-rich who increasingly govern us. Democracy dies in illiteracy.
I’ve watched countless young, talented teachers leave the profession — not due to a lack of capability, but because they were thrown into unfair classroom management situations and made to feel inadequate.
@rsweetchaos613@KaivanShroff It���s the kids who sat in the back of class, slept, watch porn on their phone, flipped off the teacher, left tire marks in the student parking lot, and had parents who enabled all of it. Those kids have joined the ICE club and were given guns and a badge.
There are lots of things LMPD could and should immediately apologize for, but this is not it. Sweet Jesus. Loosen up and be human. It’s what cops need.
Good afternoon, The LMPD wishes to apologize for the tone of our tweets over the last 48 hours. Our social feeds do not accurately reflect the entire department or this community.
Renee was one of my students years ago. I held her baby. She was kind and talented, a working class mom who put herself through school despite circumstances that would’ve crumpled the pathetic rich boy politicians who sadistically abetted her murder
God damn them all
@ma1ybe I teach highs school and I let them make coffee but they have to clean up and do dishes. They boys refuse with venom. It’s crazy. What is happening at home!
