#sayTHX to those who still believe in and faithfully serve the Constitution of the United States of America.
With the whole Catholicism boom going on, I gotta admit that I’m really glad I went to a Jesuit university.
We were required to take up to 300 level religion + 400 level philosophy and while it was annoying at the time, those courses really did shape the way I view the world.
Philosophy should probably be mandatory curriculum in college, especially with the rise of AI. Teach these kids to think critically!!!!!
Legacy hardware lasts forever because it was from a time before greed dictated a need for planned obsolescence. Stick that in your hat and decode it. 😑 https://t.co/k08BuW09fu

"Americans are saying the problem of division is in how we treat each other. And the solution to division is also in how we treat each other. We’re both the cause and the solution to the problem. And that puts the power in all our hands."

@yamiikumo @tanish_builds@weiss_hadas Oh, honey. Googling isn't research. Research is reading, records sifting, reading, conceptual analysis, reading, deductive reasoning, and reading. And, those are just the highlights! Google : research :: wikipedia : original resource
#sayTHX for nerds
Thirty-five female journalists crowded into the White House Red Room that March day.
There weren't enough chairs. Many sat on the floor.
Male reporters watched from the doorway, smirking. The manager of the Associated Press said these gatherings wouldn't last six months.
Eleanor Roosevelt's strategy was brilliantly simple: If news organizations wanted access to the First Lady—if they wanted to know what was happening inside the White House—they would have to hire female reporters.
No exceptions.
At first, she covered household topics. But when Prohibition ended and reporters asked the President if beer would be served at the White House, FDR smiled and said two words:
"Ask Eleanor."
She announced the answer at her next women-only press conference.
Male reporters had to beg their female colleagues to tell them what the First Lady said.
Week after week, she made real news. She defended equal pay for equal work, low-cost housing, civil rights, and the minimum wage.
The tactic worked spectacularly.
The Associated Press brought on Bess Furman. United Press hired Ruby Black. The New York Herald Tribune sent Emma Bugbee for a few days—she stayed for months, her stories landing on the front page.
Over twelve years, Eleanor Roosevelt held 348 women-only press conferences.
Ruby Black called it "a New Deal for newswomen."
But Eleanor wasn't finished rewriting history.
After FDR's death in 1945, President Truman appointed her as a delegate to the United Nations.
Her male colleagues assigned her to a committee they considered unimportant—humanitarian and cultural concerns.
They assumed she'd do the least harm there.
They were wrong.
She was unanimously elected to chair the UN Commission on Human Rights.
For three years, she navigated Cold War politics and united 18 nations with competing interests to draft the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
On December 10, 1948, the UN General Assembly voted.
Forty-eight nations in favor. Zero opposed.
When it passed, every delegate rose to give Eleanor Roosevelt a standing ovation.
She called it "an international Magna Carta for all mankind."
She considered it her greatest achievement.
And she was right.
From a woman who sat in a parlor with female reporters on the floor—to the architect of the document that defines human dignity for all humanity.
Eleanor Roosevelt didn't just break glass ceilings.
She built ladders so others could climb up after her.
