  The Most Important Motherhood Story In Comics Happened Last Year (And You Probably Missed It) Comics   Emily Harding     January 8, 202 1 Let’s face it: comics have never been a beacon of good parenting. Whether they’re sending their kids into the future to escape a techno-organic virus or just trying to remember they have kids at all, superheroes making time to be even moderately acceptable parents is much more the exception than the rule. This is especially true when writers try to tackle motherhood, a role which they rarely give our heroes the chance–or the inclination–to get right. That is, except for last year. In 2020 we saw what was probably the most important motherhood story in comics. You might have missed it, and that would have nothing to do with the fact that we were all pretty distracted by the runaway dumpster fire that was last year. It’s because this particular story wasn’t a main arc. In fact, it barely took up two pages in one issue. Tini Howard’s first arc of Exca

  I honestly don’t understand why there aren’t more people who, when given the platform to discuss minimum wage, don’t simply distill it to the simplest of facts: A forty-hour work week is considered full time. It’s considered as such because it takes up the amount of time we as a society has agreed should be considered the maximum work schedule required of an employee. (this, of course, does not always bear out practically, but just follow me here) A person working the maximum amount of time required should earn enough for that labor to be able to survive. Phrased this way, I doubt even most conservatives could effectively argue against it, and out of the mouth of someone verbally deft enough to dance around the pathos-based jabs conservative pundits like to use to avoid actually debating, it could actually get opps thinking. Therefore, if an employee is being paid less than [number of dollars needed for the post-tax total to pay for the basic necessities in a given area divided by f

Roosevelt at his final inauguration in 1945.

Hundreds of thousands of people  descend on Washington  to watch a newly elected president take the oath of office. A departing president signals his respect for the country by celebrating the new one, even when that departing president is disappointed by the election’s outcome — as was the case with Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and others. “I grew up in the Washington area, and inaugurations have always been a time of hope and fresh beginnings regardless of party,”  Peter Baker , The Times’s chief White House correspondent, told me. But when American democracy is under siege, an ina
