This is important to me.
It doesn’t matter where you live. You’re displacing someone, and making income segregation worse.

School authorities in India persistently discriminate against children from marginalized communities, denying them their right to education. Four years after an ambitious education law went into effect in India, guaranteeing free schooling to every child ages 6 to 14, almost every child is enrolled, yet nearly half are likely to drop out before completing their elementary education.

Oh please. Capitalism: To each according to one’s own hard work. Read a book! :)
Oh, shit, you’re right… OH WAIT. What’s this…
Working poor? But I thought hard work always rendered wealth????? OMG LOOK AT THIS SHIT THOUGH.
More poor people in America have a job than not??? WHAAAAATT? But, graph, anon told me hard work yields wealth!
Well would you take a fucking look at this. Do you know what this means? Not only are all these hard workers poor (but hard work makes people rich????), but capitalism is also hella racist. Socialism and communism both give everyone the same opportunities, but why would we want that?! That would take white privilege out of the world of work. Equal opportunity for all colors? Fuck that, right? I prefer capitalism, where the class system and minimal regulation of business allows blatant discrimination in the work place.
I mean, surely the rich get rich by working hard and being honest. This is America, right?
Whoa! Excuse me, graph? Anon told me hard work yielded wealth??? This can’t be right! The actual workers of corporations bust their asses to make the profit for the corporations??? If this were the case, that would mean that CEOs *gasp* STEAL profit from workers???? WHAAAATTT?????
Hard work does not render wealth in a capitalist setting, or the term “working poor” wouldn’t exist. Look around you! :)
While some physicists may be working on string theory or quantum mechanics, Manuel Linares has decided to turn his attention to something else entirely – ice cream.
The Spanish physicist and now professional cook has announced that he has invented a ‘magical’ ice cream that changes color as you lick it. Before it’s served, the treat is a light blue color, but this quickly changes when the server adds a spray of ‘love elixir, as Mr Linares calls it. The spray transforms the ice cream into a dark pink shade in around 10 to 15 seconds.
When the customer licks the ice cream, it again changes into other pink shades as it melts The formula, which remains a secret, is made entirely from natural ingredients, according to Mr Linares. The Spaniard said he gained his inspiration from the British ice cream genius Charlie Francis, the creator of a fluorescent ice.
The chef is currently offering his ice cream at his shop in in the town of Calella de Mar, in the east Spanish province of Barcelona. He is also working on another two ice creams. One will react to ultraviolet lights in clubs, while another will turn from white to pink as it’s eaten.

The simple device was invented in 1789 by Swiss physicist Horace-Bénédict de Saussure and German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt who used the circular array of 53 shaded sections in experiments above the skies over Geneva, Chamonix and Mont Blanc. The Cyanometer helped lead to a successful conclusion that the blueness of the sky is a measure of transparency caused by the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. You can learn more at the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Descartes
Analyses of the National Child Development Study show that more intelligent men and women express preference to remain childless early in their reproductive careers, but only more intelligent women (not more intelligent men) are more likely to remain childless by the end of their reproductive careers. (...)
Because women have a greater impact on the average intelligence of future generations, the dysgenic fertility among women is predicted to lead to a decline in the average intelligence of the population in advanced industrial nations.

The Myth of Working Your Way Through College
Once upon a time, a summer spent scooping ice cream could pay for a year of college. Today, the average student’s annual tuition is equivalent to 991 hours behind the counter.

Tension between the ‘mundane’ and the ‘profound’ resonate throughout these images. The appropriation and recontextualisation of found photography is a controversial topic. For example, it can usually be assumed that the intention of the photographer was not to have their images become so publicly exposed. Artists have also been known to respond to vernacular photography, so that their visual interpretations are released into the public sphere alongside the original imagery. To put it another way, imagine if you lost your disposable camera whilst on holiday, and an artist or collector, like Erik Kessels, decided to publish your personal photos. You might be completely unfazed by it; you might see it as an extreme invasion of your privacy. It takes ‘finders keepers’ to a whole new level. Controversy aside, these albums are excellent social documents. They can reveal much about the interests of a national culture or identity, such as with the acquisition of a new television in 1980s China, as well as those of the relevant individuals. I particularly love the set ‘How Not To Photograph Your Black Dog’. Oh the trials of being an amateur photographer!
Forced sterilization nurse: ‘I can see now that it was so wrong’ | Al Jazeera America
Thousands of people were forcibly sterilized after Virginia’s Eugenical Sterilization Act was passed in 1924. Three years later, the Supreme Court found the law legal and it stayed on the books until 1979. More than 7,000 people were sterilized under the law; more than 65,000 forced sterilizations were performed nationwide.
