American Dream? Dream on.</p> <p><em>Will getting an education help you achieve the American dream? College graduates <a href="http://www.good.is/post/more-americans-are-disillusioned-with-the-college-degree/">still earn twice</a> what their peers with only a high school diploma earn, but if you don’t have the educational and social opportunities you need to actually get into college and graduate, your chances of raking in a higher salary are pretty slim. Indeed, in an appearance this week on The Daily Show to promote his new book <a href="http://books.wwnorton.com/books/the-price-of-inequality/">The Price of Inequality</a>, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz told Jon Stewart that the life chances of “a young person born in the United States” are “more dependent on the income and education of his parents” than in any other other advanced country in the world.</em></p> <p><em>Although the 1 percent of Americans who control 40 percent of the nation’s wealth have access to better education opportunities, we still tell ourselves that kids growing up in low income communities with parents who don’t have an education can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and end up as a Harvard grads if they just work really hard. We saw this attitude at play earlier this year with Forbes columnist Gene Marks’ much derided “here’s how you poor minority children should try to get an education” advice column, “<a href="http://www.losangelista.com/2011/12/if-i-was-black-kid-grammatically.html">If I Was a Black Kid</a>.” And, although there are<a href="http://www.good.is/post/how-i-became-the-first-person-in-my-family-to-go-to-college/">incredibly inspiring of examples</a> of kids making it out of the hood and getting accepted to top-notch schools, that’s not the norm.</em></p> <p><em>Stiglitz says the inequality of opportunity we’re facing now is worse than it was in Old Europe, which means the American Dream has become a myth. His conversation with Stewart raises some great questions about why we’re accepting an institutionally driven system that lets people who have wealth play by and create a different set of rules. Stiglitz also goes on to question the way banks were bailed out in the financial crisis but student loan debt can’t be discharged in bankruptcy.</em></p>http://lucylovesyu.tumblr.com/post/28389618850http://lucylovesyu.tumblr.com/post/28389618850Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:25:35 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zg7xAD4V1qzu6nxo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zg7xAD4V1qzu6nxo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zg7xAD4V1qzu6nxo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://oh-serendipity.tumblr.com/post/28352877337">oh-serendipity</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://www.youmightfindyourself.com/post/28343606649/kickstarter-beautiful-craigslist-ads-as-some-of">youmightfindyourself</a>.</p> <blockquote> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="375" src="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ymfy/beautiful-craigslist-ads/widget/video.html" width="500"> </iframe></p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ymfy/beautiful-craigslist-ads">Kickstarter: Beautiful Craigslist Ads<br/></a></strong><br/>As some of you know, I recently moved into a new house and have been really happy with the move but prior to that, there were a few months of searching that made me want to tear my hair out.</p> <p>I decided to do something about it so I’ve been working on a project with some friends to make <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ymfy/beautiful-craigslist-ads">Craigslist ads better and better-looking</a>. This will be a free and easy form that anyone can use to create beautiful craigslist ads that have all the necessary information included and laid out so you know exactly what you’re getting.</p> <p>What I thought would be a quick and simple exercise in design has grown to be much more and we’ve gotten obsessive with the details, paring everything down to just what you need. I’m hoping that once we solve real estate rentals, this will translate to other parts of Craigslist. I’m happy to announce that we’re close to launching it now.</p> <p>If you choose to back this Kickstarter for <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ymfy/beautiful-craigslist-ads">Beautiful Craigslist Ads</a>, know that it will be going towards server costs (EC2 baby!) and anything left over will go to Helen’s snack fund. It’d mean a lot to me if you reblogged and help spread the word!</p> <p>Oh yeah, we made some cool stickers as part of the rewards:<br/><img height="375" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/000/082/138/d1812ef1a03d6a9cf8e931346c57cd97_large.png?1343111424" width="500"/> </p> <p><strong><a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ymfy/beautiful-craigslist-ads">Kickstarter: Beautiful Craigslist Ads</a></strong></p> </blockquote> </blockquote>http://lucylovesyu.tumblr.com/post/28389166405http://lucylovesyu.tumblr.com/post/28389166405Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:18:47 -0700<a href="http://thenicestplaceontheinter.net/">http://thenicestplaceontheinter.net/</a>: <div> <p>after wik’ing for hours about shootings/massacres from gabrielle giffords to columbine, this was undoubtedly a nice website to come across</p> </div>http://lucylovesyu.tumblr.com/post/28387547000http://lucylovesyu.tumblr.com/post/28387547000Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:54:55 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5h3pv3CU41r80h29o1_400.png"/><br/><br/>http://lucylovesyu.tumblr.com/post/24943016819http://lucylovesyu.tumblr.com/post/24943016819Tue, 12 Jun 2012 00:34:17 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4yozfY2M11qljjc7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lucylovesyu.tumblr.com/post/24269585699http://lucylovesyu.tumblr.com/post/24269585699Sat, 02 Jun 2012 10:03:58 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4z3g2uzqi1qhlepco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lucylovesyu.tumblr.com/post/24269154068http://lucylovesyu.tumblr.com/post/24269154068Sat, 02 Jun 2012 09:56:44 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4yxst3W471r154a5o1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p>People don’t spend very much time on 3G, so it should be more affordable.</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://blog.ruesong.com/post/24235490813/i-love-making-infographics-its-very-satisfying">dreamscomerue</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>I love making infographics, it’s very satisfying.
