It's crucial to understand that what's bad about income inequality is not just that it enables elites to consume more; it enables them to *control production*. They decide how to use *our* labour and *our* resources and shape *our* future. It is a dictator ship of the rich.
Tweet 2/2: Jason Hickel (@jasonhickel):
They appropriate our collective surplus - the surplus *we* produce - and invest it in doing whatever is most profitable to them, regardless of human needs and ecology.
Fact: If we do not have democratic control over our surplus, we do not live in a democracy. Simple as that. source

thanks for the comments and asks saying i'm being mean for very mildly saying i don't like when people make social decisions based on horoscopes.
your behavior has made me realize i should be "meaner": horoscopes are fake.
the position of planets and balls of gas did not in any way impact your personality or destiny. it has nothing to do with what kind of people you are compatible with, despite what an app or magazine told you.
i think sincere belief in horoscopes shows a concerning propensity to trust pseudoscience and a susceptibility to confirmation bias.
i'm pretty tired of having to tiptoe around this kind of thing and include disclaimers. if you genuinely think you shouldn't be friends with someone because of the date they came out of a uterus, you're being a clown.

"people only criticize horoscopes because women like it" is an embarrassing argument i, as a woman, am violently sick of seeing. source

It’s pretty hypocritical for people to demand you not speak ill of the dead when that person built a career doing exactly that. source
Image: A photograph of a wall-mounted dial telephone, the type which associates about 3 letters with each of the digits 0-9. There is a plaque above:
"In 2010, Itáru Sasaki created the first Phone of the Wind near Otsuchi, Japan as a way of grieving for his late cousin.
"Since then, wind phones have been installed around the world as spaces for healing through grief.
"The wind phone, not connected to any "earthly system," offers a space to speak to a loved one who is with you now only in spirit.
"Just pick up the receiver, dial your loved one's name, and speak that which you hold in your heart.
"Your words will be carried on the wind." source

How do you refer to your students? Taking the time to rephrase our binary language is so important! Using gendered language that doesn’t include all of your students is harmful, especially over the course of their educational career. Think about feeling othered or left out every day…week..month…the entire school year. Learn more in our chapter on “Daily Gender-Inclusive Practices” from our book Gender Inclusive Schools!
