"#Permaculture training, which has taught the community to farm in a sustainable and self-sufficient way, has been a game changer. The training has taught Perez that men and women are equal – a lesson which she has shared with her children. "I now know my boys need to learn to cook, and help in the house," she says. Having access to water to grow crops plays a key role in building gender equality, he says. Enabling women's participation in farming activities makes them financially active and resilient to #ClimateChange." #gardening #water https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240708-the-women-fighting-drought-in-mexico #Oaxaca #Mexico

I'm a Tenured College Professor. I'm Quitting. Here's Why.
by Jessica Wildfire

"Most of my professor friends can't support themselves. That includes the fancy tenured professors, even at nice schools. They have sugar mamas & sugar daddies. They're married to lawyers and bankers, or IT managers. If they're like me, they've got a secret side hustle.

Here's an irony:

My university forces everyone to disclose outside income. So if you have a second job or a side hustle, you're technically supposed to report it. You're supposed to ask them for permission. They can say no.

That's right, the same university that gave me a chocolate bar for a raise also says I can't take on a second job to support my family. They're worried it would distract me from all the free work I'm doing for them." https://www.okdoomer.io/im-a-professor-heres-why-im-walking-away-from-my-tenure/
