In 2019, there were about 150,000 people working in autism therapy.
Six years later, there were 654,000—more than the number of people who work in mining and logging, or telecommunications, or at the US Postal Service.
Less than six percent of $98 tickets have been purchased for round-trip New Jersey Transit trains to MetLife Stadium during the FIFA World Cup.
A spokesperson for NJ Transit told The Athletic that as of Monday, May 31 at 5pm, only 17,739 tickets have been sold across the entirety of the eight game-days scheduled to take place at MetLife Stadium during the World Cup.
This is 5.5 percent of the total 320,000 inventory.

I suggest all mothers talk to other moms in their life who have similar value systems to them. Doing It All has *never* felt great, but developing better boundaries and being realistic about what you can achieve is a godsend.
Some of this "it's impossible to have kids and work" rhetoric is driven by journalists and academics who work way too hard and can't imagine half-assing their jobs like so many people do
@GenePark Fully with you AND it takes so many resources to do this (which is why her videos always pop off). The cartoon slop is a work around for a lack of resources, full stop!

All major sporting events have been Feedified (I made this term up) -- comped experiences for influencers, built-out sets/ dedicated areas for iPhone filming, over-the-top food offerings -- to maximize the amount of content produced about and around them beyond live broadcast
Fits into broader trend of stadiums being built or retrofit for more premium seating/spaces; the more they cater to the most visible and/or biggest spenders, the more they become part of the social/ cultural calendar
