Every good thing this society half-assedly started due to COVID should've been not just continued but constantly improved upon; but too many of y'all have The Fear, & those programs remind you of the thing that scared you.

It's kind of amazing that we showed we could cut child poverty in half for roughly 100 billion/year (absolute peanuts in a 7 trillion dollar budget), did it for a year, and then just stopped doing it.
The food security report is out, and it's bad news: 13.5% of households were food insecure in 2023, up from 12.8% in 2022. This is what happens when you abruptly end "pandemic" supports that should have been there all along.

I am ceaselessly dismayed by the frequency & fervency of MAGA canvassing in SoCal.

The answer to corruption is publicly financed campaigns.

Never underestimate the value of a good developmental editor. All my best work has emerged thanks to feedback and criticism. Talking to other people and collaborating is how you reach interesting themes and design spaces, and figure out not only what you want to say, but how you want to say it
We have to get better at giving and receiving criticism.
People do not become better unless they're made aware of mistakes.
Mistakes are not inherently bad, they just happen and they happen all the time.
Your work becomes better with critique.
Silent judgement is worse than vocal criticism.
