I'm taking longer getting dressed in front of the mirror...
I gotta make him notice me-
I'm walking around with love on my mind.
I'm laughing a little bit louder...
I watch you walk my way and I'm too shy to say high...
I'm wrapping up in my blanket at night, hugging my pillow tight, imagining you and me...
I wonder if you even notice me...
I make my friend talk to you just a little while longer, because I'm starving for your eyes 👀 I'm hoping that they land on me... I hear music when you speak... in my stomach butterflies fly freely...
I see you on the basketball court, and now I take the long way home,
This is more than just a silly crush, I am hoping you'd want to spend your forever with me...
I hope you are not with another, because I believe you are my soulmate...
I'm searching for the courage to let you know...
I like you,
I Just think you are my destiny!

Trickle Them Down, But Not Out
The thing about smart people is that they should know better, but alas, intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Not only do the mistakes of experts too short on vision—when they are not corrected—have the potential to do great and far-reaching damage, but they also undermine public confidence in the very notion of expertise. This is particularly so when expertise is wielded in defence of the rich and powerful as a cudgel against those laid low. As an academic, this lack of faith in “so-called experts” is painful to see as it plays out in the spread of dis-/misinformation, conspiracy theories, and anti-intellectualism writ large. But it is also an understandable impulse given the catastrophic failure of an economic ideology pushed by certain economic experts. Supply-side economics has shaped a broken system for the last half-century and has arguably done more to undermine the fabric of the American Dream than any policy framework of the past century.
