Civilization Rather Than Suffrage That's to Blame
Trouble Is Not That Women Are Growing Less Feminine, but Men Less Masculine

By HELEN DARE

So much is being said about feminine unrest that the fact that there is a very considerable masculine unrest is being overlooked; or is it that our attention is being artfully and deliberately diverted therefrom?
Men are conspicuously discontented and noticeably uneasy. They don't seem to like, even a little bit, the way things are going. So -- faithful to the example set for them by Adam -- they are laying th eblame for the changes on womankind.

--San Francisco Chronicle, 4 Oct 1913

Been listening to a lot of Tom Petty lately. It hasn't fixed me yet, but I won't back down.

Can confirm that High Tide is just as fun to play near a tidal river in the Chesapeake Bay watershed as it is at home! I had to check for science.

Marceline Leiman's High Tide (a cozy stacking game for two players) sits on a window ledge with the Sassafras River in the near distance.

There's a certain kind of ideologue who wants you to believe the public education system is "in the grip" of school teachers. That educators control nearly every aspect of not just schools but the government.

They are liars and weirdos. They are lying to you and are very weird about democracy.

The teacher pay penalty continues to grow.

Public school teachers are paid only 73 cents for every dollar paid to similar college graduates

I did a pilgrimage to Seneca Falls a few years ago and the Hall of Fame was closed! I did get to visit the National Park site, though, and it was great.

Went to a train museum and found some suffrage history.

Being a pedantic asshole is absolutely worse than calling RFK Jr a billionaire sell out. No question.

Billionaires dont have to sell out because they already have all the money. People sell themselves out to billionaires. Just because you can read something a few different ways doesn't mean they all make sense. Literacy means being able to discern possible meanings to find probable meaning.
