Highly recommend this essay that synthesizes the history of the wages for housework movement and grapples with the intensifying commodification of care work.
“The wish that women’s care work be waged seems to have come true, albeit in funhouse-mirror form: legions of women now work to care for other peoples’ families, while the vast majority still take care of their own families for free.”

i hope you'll read this compelling survey from Sarah Brouillette of the newest work from the always-astute and incisive Madeline Lane-McKinley—it's a tautly reasoned case for affording children greater rights and autonomy, reimagining social institutions that produce suffering and dehumanization.

worth noting that the $30.2 million deficit the school is facing can be traced to ballooning admin salaries, real estate, and admin benefits, according to the economics department's analysis. the salaries for the actual professors is in line with or *below* the school's revenue growth
