As the world turns: Dunkin’s reintroduced the French cruller just as Local Donut wound down its weekly deliveries.

Toxic positivity, be damned, Herman Hesse reminds us that true optimism is not the denial of suffering. It is the will to perceive beauty amidst the suffering, and to conceive compassion despite suffering: β€œbecause the world is so full of death and horror I try again and again to console my heart and pick the flowers that grow in the midst of hellβ€œ

A Brave New World Imagine: a reality in which men step aside

It’s naive to think our work speaks for itself and a strong resume is a key to successβ€”especially if you are a woman or person of color. Or both.

Implicit biases, internalized misogyny, racist practiced and other invisible obstacles still exist

Thanks, I know the geography and meant it to mean that it’s wasn’t coastal. You’re right that geography has nothing to do w it, which is what I was trying to show

It’s hard to escape the effect of tariffs, whatever line of business you’re in, even here in land-locked Vermont

β€œI am American first” Rep. Becca Balint addresses Vermont business leaders on January 28,2025 (a transcript)

Honestly, I don’t think I’d ever listened to any of Rep. Balint’s speeches all the way through. There were some teary eyes in the room after this. Some of us really, really needed to hear it.

Remember that art is resistance. To create something true and earnest in a world that values neither sincerity nor conviction is rebellion. If that’s all you can manage, so be it. Fill your notebooks with revolt, your document files with illicit beauty. Hope is a Molotov cocktail.
