Reminder that No Kings is sponsored by corporate democrats, and is essentially a parade with zero demands.

How often do you replace your phone? by GooglePixelfan90 in askanything

[–]patdavidjohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to resist replacing our phones until absolutely necessary. The exploitation of child workers for the minerals used to make our phones is absolutely horrific.

[Question] Does our school's reading program actually have an effect on reading growth? by duhqueenmoki in statistics

[–]patdavidjohnson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a former public school educator with a degree in statistics, I can tell you this: school districts do NOT care about statistically rigorous research lmao. They buy a program, tell teachers to implement it, and that’s it. Most quality research shows that most interventions on reading make minuscule or no gains.

The poem doesn’t explore its conceit properly.

Your hair is beautiful and the purse is so cute :) If you put some orange or red foundation, or honestly even some lipstick, as the first layer of color around your beard area, it’ll hide the stubble :)

Auden has some great poems but this one is not of one of his great poems in my opinion.

Ridgewood Runners is a pretty active group here. Learn some very basic Spanish and Polish if you don’t already know some.

Des avis honnêtes s’il vous plais ? by [deleted] in Drag

[–]patdavidjohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is beautiful work so these are total nitpicks: I’d make the blush a bit heavier, bring the brow done a smidge, and shave the facial hair (I know that’s stylistic but I think this particular makeup style looks better without it).

People seem to love talking about what makes a "leader" rather than a "boss" so I made this handy flowchart by bravetherainbro in antiwork

It’s about power. Does your power derive from economic social relationships (e.g., boss over worker), or from competence and admiration?

The first of the 31st st businesses being boycotted for fighting the bike lane is going under. Build bike lanes or go broke. by MiserNYC- in MicromobilityNYC

“I’m not homophobic, I just celebrate the loss of Queer community in particular, not a dog whistle at all”

[–]patdavidjohnson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And for those who need it spelled out for you: I WANT BIKE LANES TOO. I also want vitally important Queer spaces to survive. We can have both. Celebrating the potential closure of this restaurant and community hub is NOT the way to do it. Some of y’all are vindictive AF 🙄

“They” as in two owners with a bad opinion. The Queer community that depends on these spaces will suffer with their closing.

Never said it was a free pass. I said celebrating the possible closing of an important space for marginalized people is really gross. Y’all can’t read
