A collaborator of mine at OSU is looking for volunteers for a study on politics, masculinity, and fatherhood. Help them out and share with dads who might be interested!

Learning about cultural differences in education and the rise of forest schools by getting outside and designing lesson plans that teach respect for the natural world and build soft skills. #thinkcritically #livehumanely @WabashCollege

Are you an at-home-dad or do you know one? I'm conducting a survey on parental cooperation in families with at-home dads and invite you to participate so we can better understand this neglected family structure. surveymonkey.com/r/YPPWL7Z #SAHD #athomedad @homedadnet

Such an important thread about dividing household labor!
Men are expected now to make way more money,but also be 50/50 raising kids & keeping up the house Women are expected to keep a Instagram home & perfect kids (w/ no help),be 'active' at school, & make $ now It's a crazy battle going on in the US How we stay married w/ 4 kids:👇

My fellow Americans, it doesn't have to be like this. We adults can choose to make the sacrifices needed so our children are safe at school, both from being shot and from the anxiety about being shot.
"Don't you remember when the shooter came to my school, like at Uvalde?” My face went white and I stopped folding laundry. “What are you talking about?” I asked my eight-year-old. (1/5)

Absolutely gutted that my beloved @FujifilmX #X100F was in a bag that got lost flying to Asia. Now I'm looking for a replacement because cell phone cameras just aren't the same. @XThusiast, @fujifilm, any help on where I can find one here in Thailand?
This shouldn't be a point we need to make, but I fear it is: if we want boys to succeed, we need to help them become whole people and free them from narrow expectations of what it means to be man.

Being a real man is not about your intricate morning routine that starts with deadlifts at 4AM. It is about repeatedly getting your four-year-old out the door for preschool while maintaining calm and equanimity.

A consequence of defining masculinity in opposition to femininity. If "talking about emotions" was just part of being human, I don't think we'd be in this kind of mess.
Really, listen to her
Stop what you’re doing. Read this paper. (No, really, you can thank me later)

Don't ever fly @LATAMAirlinesUS. I paid extra for a refundable ticket, then when they only gave a voucher and told me to call, the agent told me I had to create an online ticket. I did, and have heard nothing. I called about it today, and was hung up on. Unacceptable.

The DM was worse. "Eric, we want to inform you that once the money is in your LATAM Wallet it isn't possible to request the bank transfer. For that reason we can't assist you in your request. We stay tuned for future inquiries. Kind regards." Contradicts own website.

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way
