#wbez — Public Fediverse posts

There are many cheerful news stories about incarcerated people who are thriving in #college #classes. What those stories often fail to mention is that not all incarcerated people have access to those opportunities. Many are either in #prisons without classes or are languishing on waiting lists. @CharlotteWest has documented the problem of waiting lists in #Illinois, mentioning a person who has "been on a #waitlist since 2006 – nearly 19 years".

Again, it's that 'be healthy: eat well, exercise' stuff, but what's really behind the curtain is crazy shit and pseudoscience. You see this with the #looksmaxxing bullshit, which plays on insecurities. This nofap stuff plays on insecurities and/or porn addiction which should be handled by a licenced professional, not the manosphere.
