A new brief explores how Wallace arts grantee @pregonesprtt creates Puerto Rican and Latinx counternarratives—and why it matters for succession, sustainability, and impact. https://t.co/PSMKkJavdi

Had dinner with one of the world’s best bespoke tailors, who happens to be based in Seoul. He mentioned that a one-bedroom apartment in the city now runs about $1,000 a month—up from just $400 a decade ago. A good restaurant meal? Around $7. Compare that to $3,000/ month rent and $25 dinners in San Francisco.

This tailor taught himself the craft by studying books and now mentors young people entering the trade. That kind of passion-driven, craft-based work becomes nearly impossible in US cities unless we address the cost-of-living crisis—especially housing. And it’s not just about tailoring. Any vocation outside engineering, law, or finance—whether you're a musician, artist, or skilled tradesperson—is increasingly unsustainable in urban areas because of skyrocketing rents.

“Bold”?

[Teen Vogue @TeenVogue]

Earlier this fall, Columbia University’s sister college Barnard took a bold step by officially committing to neutrality on global political matters, pledging to “refrain from taking an institutional stance.” https://t.co/BqxClUPyqZ

Blake Lively has filed a legal complaint laying out an alleged campaign to tarnish her reputation after she accused Justin Baldoni of misconduct on the set of “It Ends With Us.” A New York Times investigation shows how the fallout unfolded. https://t.co/3sSqXYsr75

[speedy jimenez @speedyjimenezz]

An absolutely unhinged and irresponsible take. This off-the-cuff Ed Scare fear mongering is the only danger here. Do better, @nytimes

When you call 911, they ask “police, fire, or EMS?”

Only one of those costs money: the ambulance. That’s unacceptable.

Imagine if your house was on fire and you were presented with a bill after it was put out. That would be outrageous.

So why do we tolerate it with healthcare?
