No one is saying they’re enemies of the common adjunct, but they benefit immensely from the exploited labour of adjuncts and, generally, can’t be assed to use their power to help those without. I’d say that’s more than being an imperfect actor, that is materially benefitting from oppression and refusing to use your…

Maybe because women have worn flats with pants in work environments since the dawn of fn time. Looking tall is great if your job is to look good, but for the majority of women, comfort and safety at work are priorities.
I used to work for an for profit university, online. So, they had few costs besides maintaining servers and curriculum.
Each class was 3k per student and my classes had 24 students in them. I taught 16 classes a year. The average adjunct was paid 1,600 per class.
Each class, when fully enrolled, earns 72k.
Per year, I…
I always wobble in them. More so than regular heels.
But at the same time industry is ALSO hella exploitative, especially at the bachelors level. There’s no fuckin’ winning!
That is the most frustrating thing, the shrugging. The arms race, the “the other schools at our level all charge this much tuition and pay this little to teaching staff, so what can we do?” It’s such bullshit. And the wide-eyed fundraising, the pitch that they really need your donation, when you’re still paying off…
As a reminder, these are people teaching a roomful of students that pay well over the average income of a family to be at college. At $3K per course, teaching 10 students, the teacher is bringing in $30K per class per term for the university. If they teach two classes per term, that’s $120K per year. They’re seeing…
Any “deal” that is worked out with republicans will 100% be worse than what we have.
We don’t need a compromised medical system. We need a BETTER medical system. A far better system.
Very true. My business shoes are almost exclusively Cole Haan or Banana Republic, because the fit is so comfortable. I also have a few Tory Bursch flats that are comfy as hell amd are my business/ running through the airport kick around shoes.
The thing is, any shoe can be comfortable or uncomfortable regardless of heel height. I have a pair of Calvin Klein 3.5 stiletto-type heels in my closet that I will choose over most flats and even a pair of tennis shoes I own because they are more comfortable. It just depends on the engineering of the shoe.
It doesn’t. fucking. matter. where. you. live.
I believe in Kap’s protest, and wish more players and NFL fans would embrace it. That flag doesn’t protect or represent me, and it has been actively used to denigrate myself and countless others.
John McCain gets no praise until he corrects the lies in the statement he put out. Lies that he’s continued to spew every time he wants to chide the current GOP congress. He says “we can’t be like the dems who just rammed the ACA through.” EXCEPT THE DEMS DIDN’T DO THAT. They had a YEAR of open hearings, public…
What’s amazing is the ACA is fucking ROMNEYCARE and a plan that was created by the fucking CATO INSTITUTE! Oh but a brown guy did it so let’s burn it down I guess
Don’t give McCain credit for barely doing the right thing the wrong way. If he actually had morals he would have come out against the bill on a fundamental level because it was bad for the country and would needlessly hurt people all for the sake of positive publicity for 2018.
Republicans interested in pursuing massive tax cuts have decided that moving forward, economists are Wrong.
Someone had better go tie a bell around the Graham-Cassidy bill so that everyone will be alerted if it comes back to life again. Until we get to October 1st, I won’t believe it is truly dead.
Melania Trump planted kale in Michelle Obama’s garden today, which I guess is better than the alternative but like, I don’t know, please step off our leeks!!!!
