I'm voting for the NDP in Alberta this election so that our granddaughters do not have to fight the fights of our grandmothers...for the right to use their own name, to publish books, to paint a painting under their own name and be able to earn a living selling their work 1/9
So they can decide the career they want to pursue without duress.
So they don't have to cross their legs to try and hold back labour while someone produces a credit card to pay the doctor like my mother had to do for the first 3 pregnancies 2/9

Hello Poster lovers!
Today is Sunday, so why don't we learn something about social rights?
I researched two significant movements in history that used vintage posters as a tool to bring attention to their cause:
- 'I Am a Man '
- The women's rights movement.
Let's dive in!

Let's dive in!
The "I Am a Man" movement emerged in Memphis, TN in 1968, with African American sanitation workers demanding better pay and safer working conditions. The workers marched with signs bearing the words "I Am a Man," asserting their humanity and dignity in the face of discrimination.

You are probably failing to do some of the things you do every day to their full potential because you are focused on everything you have to do all day and for the next week in your mind.

For years, clients & community members have reported hellish conditions at the Workhouse—flooding, extreme temperatures, sewage, rodent infestation, & violence. Yesterday, the court declared that in addition to our 6 clients—we believe thousands of others were similarly harmed.
This means that the City could owe millions of dollars to compensate thousands of people for the harms and atrocities they experienced while detained inside of the Workhouse.
“It feels like the chains are finally starting to be lifted,” said Diedre Wortham, a plaintiff and grandmother of five from St. Louis. “I’m hopeful that they close the Workhouse and keep it closed.”
I'm super excited to share my conversation with @matt_levine who is one of the funniest, wittiest, and sharpest writers today. I've learned much about the world from reading his Money Stuff almost every day for the past few years.

We spoke a lot about the emotional life of writing (panic and fun), the wisdom of the Classics, how to read the Bible from the point of view of a hedge fund trader, why delight is underrated, and applying rationality to the apparently absurd.

Thrilled to announce the Longevity #Impetus Grants, $21M+ towards basic research that could accelerate our understanding and control of human aging.
We welcome proposals from researchers in- and outside the #Aging field. Please share!

Impetus Grants are $10k-500k (w max 10% overhead). Smaller requests favored, to support more projects. No project period and no strings attached. Scientists at non-profits worldwide can apply with ideas that shift perspectives & capabilities in #Aging research, starting Sep 13th.
Inspiration came from @tylercowen & @patrickc's #COVID19 Fast Grants. Their team made funding decisions in 2 weeks, and the grants have already led to both discoveries and better tools for #testing.
