Unpopular opinion that shouldn’t be unpopular: anti-bullying programs in school that don’t address the root causes of bullying – which are almost invariably larger forms of bigotry and oppression like racism, ableism and homophobia – are completely useless and ultimately futile.
kids get bullied, frequently, because they’re “weird”. but it just so happens that the traits society calls “weird” are overwhelmingly related to poverty, minority religion or ethnicity, neurodivergence, non-straight sexuality, and gender non conformance.
fred and i are both applying for jobs, but because my car is only partially functional we are very limited in the scope of where we can apply, and although we’ve each gotten an interview, we haven’t gotten any offers and have no income
we need
-cat food
-toilet paper
-to pay our internet bill (150 bucks, past due, don’t know when they’ll cut our service off but probably in the next couple of weeks or month if i don’t pay at least some of it)
-to pay at least some of our rent (625) ten days from now
Walter Stabosz writes, “Delaware was the first state to ratify the US
constitution, giving it the moniker ‘The First State.’ It is also the
second smallest state, and has only three counties. Tonight in
Delaware’s most populous county, New Castle County, there will be a vote
that may decide the fate of a library built in one of New Castle’s most
underserved and at-risk communities.
The 40,000-square-foot facility know as the Rt 13 Library and Innovation Center,
features a library, work spaces, a computer lab, a STEM lab with Maker
Space, a learning commercial kitchen for job training, and a range of
on-site programming.
Those voting are the 13 members of the New Castle County Council. They
have to make the choice to either raise taxes (by less than the cost of a
monthly Netflix subscription), or to cut services for all 540,000 New
Castle residents. Services cuts will affect emergency services,
communities services libraries, and parks.
New Castle Save: Our Services is a
web site created by a New Castle County resident with the goal of
raising public awareness of the vote, and to convince the County Council
to pass the budget.
The vote is tonight is open to the public with time alloted for public
comment. It is at 6:30PM in the Council Chambers at 800 N. French
Street. Wilmington, DE 19801. There are multiple parking garages nearby.
