We are an anti-abortion couple, and we are here to save you. Because if you agree not to have an abortion, we will adopt your baby for you. You just found out you’re five weeks pregnant, and although the fetus growing inside you is barely the size of a sesame seed, we’d like you to go ahead and keep growing it in there for the next nine months specifically for us. And then, when it comes out, we will adopt it for you, so you don’t ever have to worry about it again.

Back in 2011, with a view to engaging students through different teaching methods, we launched a poetry competition on the core MA module "Theories and Concepts in International Relations" at the University of Nottingham.

The post Machiavelli. Morgenthau. Weber. Marx. Foucault by Zubeda Mir appeared first on Progress in Political Economy (PPE).

Forget snorting that Snoo and huffing that Nugget. This is the real stuff. It’s expensive, it’s addictive, it’s impossible to get your hands on, and the government definitely doesn’t want you to have it: it’s called daycare.
The first time I tried daycare—my kid contentedly tucked into the care of someone who was experienced, trained, and entirely not me—it gave me such a high I made the bed, rinsed out the entire milk carton before tossing it in the recycling, and clicked “Yes” when an email asked me if I supported their efforts to mitigate the risks of climate change.
Both NYC and LA have absolutely immense police budgets. After being in LA for a bit I will point to one strange difference - in NYC there are like 47 cops on every corner in "busy" areas, and in LA they're invisible (I'm staying in DTLA).
Might be best they're invisible, but where does that money go?
