If you’re feeling down remember that J.K Rowling was rejected 12 times before becoming the owner of approximately all the money in the world, Walt Disney was fired from being a journalist for being uncreative, and it took Dr Seuss 27 rejections to get published.

the brilliant thing about being a woman is that I’m punished for both trusting and distrusting men!
I should magically know which man is going to harm me by having a brief conversation with him. if I trust Bad Men, then, well. I should’ve known.
if I don’t trust Nice Men though, I’m an utter bitch who deserves violence. don’t I know most men are good people?

Oh this is sad. Although it is a good thing that family member carers are finally going to get paid for their work, this bill is really about quickly limiting the liability of the govt following a landmark case won by family carers. The Ministry of Health v Atkinson and Ors. 2001 case found that it was discrimination not to recognise carers who were also family members. That means that family carers were already entitled to pay under case law. This bill limits the rights of those family carers to make historical claims and also limits who is entitled to this money.

Mainsplaining with a Side Order of Racism
Not strictly academic, but close enough. I’m Asian American and was taking a plane back to my university to finish up my PhD in English Literature and teach a composition class. The man sitting next to me asked me why I was flying from the West Coast to the Midwest. I told him I was going to the University of ________.
He asked me why I was going to the university so I told him I teach English.
He says, “You mean you’re learning English.”
“No,” I say. “I’m teaching English.”
“You see,” he replies, “You are confusing the words ‘teach’ and ‘learn.’ You are learning English.”
