\"Ru042814\"<\/a>Pretense: Dropped.<\/h3>\n

That’s right, we’re just going with it. I sometimes don’t have time to do the Roundup on Fridays, but I know you, the adoring TSP public, need to know! Hence, most likely the Friday Roundup will continue on Mondays for a bit, but hey, sometimes I’ll mix it up. Isn’t that what good Internetz users do? Wait. I’ve gotta go check with the hip kids…<\/p>\n

Here’s what’s happened on TSP in the last week!<\/p>\n

Brilliance: Also Dropped.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Features:<\/h3>\n

“Music and the Quest for a Tribe, with Jenn Lena<\/a>,” by Sarah Lageson. From rockabilly kids to dubsteppers and punks, finding our musical tribe can be a key part of creating identity.<\/p>\n

There’s Research on That!<\/h3>\n

“Affirmative Action and Racial Inequality<\/a>,” by Evan Stewart. Racial inequality and discrimination are real, and diversity “happy talk” is doing little to fix that fact.<\/p>\n

“While California Expands Insurance Coverage, Texas Blocks Health Reform—Despite Greater Needs<\/a>,” by Ling Zhu and Markie McBrayer. Comparing the two biggest states and their reactions to federal subsidies to expand Medicare had a few scary results. Texans? Just go ahead and get vaccinated right about now, okay? For everything.
