thinking fondly again of the college girl at the donut place, who made a little muslim boy bounce giddily out the door after she told him his donut was free, and who waved me away and said "you're good" when it was my turn to pay and then, when asked if there was a deal that day said "i hate my job"

It’s no coincidence that these freaks are all again sex education. Because comprehension sex ed is one of the best protections we have against child sexual abuse. It teaches kids that adults making them do stuff is wrong and gives them a language to articulate if something is being done to them.
catching up, so i recognise this is not a timely comment, but @scamgoldin.bsky.social 's production on this is utterly inspired it completely lifts this episode, the audio accompaniment degrading as the moral degradation is presented

they all follow a pattern of being "oh hmm what is this" for speak to me, breathe, on the run, and then the first verse kicks in for time and they're like "alright, i get it now, this shit rocks"
in a rabbit hole watching people react to "dark side of the moon" on youtube i thought that gurning to a prog rock freakout was exclusively a middle-aged white guy phenomenon, but apparently it's universal
@jemgilbert.bsky.social highly relevant illustration of the contested nature of expertise
