My husband and I (we’re white) have a 2-year-old daughter and are doing our very best to be anti-racist parents. We’re making sure she has lots of multiracial dolls, only consumes books and TV shows with diverse characters, has no problematic Halloween costumes, and so on. But when we try to discuss issues like structural racism, intersectionality, or White fragility, she doesn’t seem at all interested. She often walks away, asks for a cookie, or even falls asleep! Have we screwed up somehow? Has society’s disdain for the perspectives of marginalized people already infected her? How do we get her to appreciate the urgency of the conversation around deconstructing white supremacy?

Joe can tell you how many hours a week you need to work before you don't have time to cook a real meal.
For me it's anything over a 12 hour day or 65+ hours in a week. Then it's frozen burrito or ordering a pizza.

I tend to same-day grocery shop, so I do have to add that overhead. It's a habit I developed while in NYC, and has kinda stuck with me.
I keep a lot of this kind of stuff in the house, for no-cook days:
The nutritional info on them is pretty solid, they're tasty, and they're simple. Cook some rice, put the contents of the pouch into a small saucepan, heat to a simmer, maybe toss in some sliced tomatoes or whatever other veggie leftovers are lurking around, and done.

Jesus tap-dancing Christ. A real person, who I actually know in real life, is proselytizing "diversity and inclusion training."
This is the wife of my old college roommate. Someone with an actual career. We're closer to boomer than to Gen Wu.
And yet this is a thing that's actually happening.
