Greece is actually bankrupt up, but American’s just want to bitch about a racist flag and gun control.

LiveFreeFriday | Meet Julia Nunes.

A songwriter who sings about love and life, Julia Nunes has been taking off this past year. Since finding early success and a large following on YouTube, she’s gone on to perform at Bonnaroo, SXSW, and Conan, and to share the stage with Weezer, Amanda Palmer and Katy Perry. 

The singer tells popular YouTuber Miles Jai about coming out. “I told my parents I was dating a person, and then when they learned more about the gender of that person they were like, ‘Are you happy?’” she says. “A lot of people just assume that I am a lesbian because I’m with a woman. And then a lot of people have referred to me as bi. So the label that feels best to me is just, ‘not straight’.”

This spring she toured with her band and promoted her album that includes songs like “Makeout” which she strums on the ukelele for Miles Jai. She lives tobacco-free because she wants to be good to herself. While she knows that some people smoke when they go out, she finds other ways to enjoy the nightlife. “I want to treat myself right. I want to do something that maybe will make my night go better,” she says. “How about I go talk to that person or dance to this beat.” Sounds like a good time to us.
What’s your LiveFreeFriday story?

my greatest fear honestly

It’s okay, when you hit 40 you stop giving a shit and just act like yourself.

Honey, hit 50 like you just don’t care.  You won’t.  At that point, you’re one of a kind and such a relief!

“Overall, Clinton has an 85 percent chance of winning the elections according to our polls-only forecast and a 76 percent chance according to polls-plus. Neither figure has meaningfully changed over the past couple of days. Looking at the polls as a whole — and adjusting for house effects — Trump seems to have gained 1 or 2 percentage points from his post-convention lows, but probably not more than that yet.”

Nate Silver

We can’t get complacent, though. Trump, his supporters, and everything he represents must be defeated in a humiliating, historic landslide.

The grass is greener … if you’re a student in Detroit, looking across your school district’s boundary with the neighboring Grosse Pointe public schools.

Nearly half of Detroit’s students live in poverty; that means a family of four lives on roughly $24,000 a year — or less.

In Grosse Pointe, a narrow stretch of real estate nestled between Detroit and Lake St. Clair, just 7 percent of students live at or below the poverty line.

To recap, that’s 49 percent vs. 7 percent. Neighbors.

Which is why a new report from the nonprofit EdBuild ranks the Detroit-Grosse Pointe boundary as “the most segregating school district border in the country.”

The report, called Fault Lines, doesn’t stop there.

“What we did is built an algorithm that identified all 33,500 school district borders in the country … and compared their school-aged child poverty rates,” says Rebecca Sibilia, the founder and CEO of EdBuild.

From this comparison Sibilia’s team compiled a list of the 50 most segregating school boundaries in the nation — in short, the district borders with the largest difference in child poverty rates from one side to the other. In this case, “segregating” is being used to talk specifically about class, not race, though the two often overlap, especially in America’s large, urban school systems.
