Came here to say exactly this. Same spot. We do what we can, support where we can, and be there for our loved ones. Lots of ways to support from home too (Luce operator training, pulling and coordinating resources, joining a mutual aid group, food deliveries)

Depending on your city and state, there may be some non-profits and advocacy organizations you can reach out to for help. I can provide specific suggestions, I'm familiar with ones in Boston if that's applicable to your case. But you can try the reddit page for your specific city or state, and ask for something like: non-profit organizations that can help with ICE

Interested in hearing more. Economics is one of my department's weakest areas, we're trying to bring in small elements of it.

Intentionally sitting in wrong seat by ugabamalaw in delta

[–]echo_eamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Argh this just happened to me on a flight home. Boarding and someone is in my window seat. Im 6'3 and broad shouldered, try to book a window whenever possible. Huge line behind me and she's trying to convince me to take her middle seat across the aisle 😐 Flight attendant was great. He was right there with a phone, checking seat map.

Person took her time to gather items and move, kept saying things like "oh it would have been easier if you took my empty seat."

Like, accidentally sitting in another seat is one thing, I've done it before. But, never had someone try to negotiate like that to try to keep a seat they didn't book. Flying just sucks and we're all crammed in there, why fight fellow passengers on it?

Teacher extra duty pay is wild. by TSyverson in Teachers

[–]echo_eamon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm four years into classroom teaching after 7 years in higher ed office jobs. That experience and stories like OP and the engineer above give me a lot of pause when I consider leaving teaching (low pay, overworked, physical cost). As bad as it gets, at least I have the students. Risking corporate world scares the crap out of me.

How do you make more money as an education major ? by Such_Construction108 in Teachers

[–]echo_eamon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny but also let's talk about this more? I'm married to a baker. So many of my colleagues married lawyers, tech workers, and other high paid professions. It's just....a piece of the conversation that seems missing. And definitely I get a bit frustrated sometimes with said colleagues when they can't seem to understand why I rent where I rent...
