This red velvet cake roll with cream cheese filling is sweet, soft and just perfect for Valentine's day. Very easy to make, festive and delicious.
This Red Velvet Cake Roll With Cream Cheese Filling recipe has been originally posted in February 2015 and updated with a few changes in the ingredients in January 2019.
Cake rolls take a lot less time to make than baking a cake and always look impressive.
Take it to a party or serve to your guests or a loved one.
I decided to experiment and bake a red velvet cake roll.
The result was this fluffy red velvet roll with creamy and tasty cream cheese filling.
What ingredients do you need to make this Red Velvet Cake Roll With Cream Cheese Filling?
How to make red velvet cake roll?
To be honest, I had the most trouble when choosing a recipe for the actual cake layer, because for the cream cheese frosting – I have a favorite recipe I always use.
The cake was fluffier for some reason and paired well with the frosting.
I also happened to have about 1/3 of the cream cheese frosting left, because when filling the roll, I felt that it was too much.
Well, I guess it wasn't doing to be too much and you can go ahead and use the whole amount of frosting. Will do it next time.
Preheat oven to 350 F (177 C). Spray a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray and line bottom with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper and lightly flour it. Set a side.
Generously sprinkle a thin kitchen cotton towel with powdered sugar.
In a bowl sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder. Set a side.
Beat the eggs – in the bowl of an electric mixer, with the whisk attachment best eggs and sugar for 2 minutes, until fluffy. Add milk and oil. Add vanilla. Beat to combine.
Add in the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Add vinegar.
Then add the red food coloring and mix until incorporated.
Immediately loosen cake and turn onto prepared towel. Peel off parchment paper. Starting with the narrow end, roll up cake and towel together. Let it cool completely.
In the bowl of an electric mixer with paddle attachment beat together cream cheese and butter, until well combined for about 4-5 minutes. Add powdered sugar and beat until incorporated. Add vanilla and mix until evenly distributed.
Once cake roll has completely cooled, carefully unroll. You might have some of to stuck to the towel and tiny cracks, but this is ok.
Spread cream cheese over the surface of the roll.
Roll cake up again and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, before serving.
What kind of pan to use for baking a cake roll?
Make sure you use the correct size pan. Mine is 10×15-inch jelly roll pan. This way the cake is the perfect thickness. Too thin or too thick of a cake roll will result in breaking and cracking.
When baking a cake roll, it is very important not to over bake the cake layer, because the roll will end up with a lot of cracks and will be chewy.
On the other hand – I almost always have cracks in my cake rolls, but they either get hidden when I add the filling or I just sprinkle powdered sugar or cocoa on top.
Do not over bake the cake layer. Keep a close eye on it. Too dry of a cake layer will be tough and it is prone to cracking.
If the cake roll cracks a little, don't worry, this is fixable, once you add the frosting (filling) and roll the cake roll back, it will "glue" it together.
The truth is – my rolls are not perfect and I'm ok with it.
As long as they are delicious, it is all good!
What kind of filling is best for red velvet cake roll?
I love the combination of red velvet cake and cream cheese filling.
Can you make red velvet cake roll with cake mix?
While there are some recipes calling for the use of cake mix, I personally have not tried it and wouldn't recommend it. Cake rolls are easy to make, but can also easily go wrong, if you don't use the right ingredients and amounts. Make sure you measure correctly.

I love how you've embraced the cake roll, Mira! This one is definitely perfect for Valentine's, though I'll eat it today or tomorrow or anytime. And the more frosting, the better!
I have no idea what went wrong. If you can see mine cracked a little, but only on one side. I'm suspecting yours was overbaked? Sorry for your experience!
You cannot let the cake cool to long. Roll it when it is warm. My first one became a trifle for the same reason.
You need to roll the cake asap, I did not say it needs to cool, you let it cool when it is wrapped in the towel.
I use a damp towel or cheese cloth to roll mine and it seems to help. Make sure you're rolling it as soon as it comes out of the oven. I've waited to long and that will make it break also. Hope these work for you.
You make the most gorgeous cake rolls, Mira! I'm so impressed with this one. I'm such a sucker for anything red velvet flavored, so this is right up my alley. Looks delicious! Pinned!

Your red velvet cake roll is beautiful. It looks so yummy. I haven't made a cake roll in some time. I used to make chocolate ones with ice cream.
Thanks Bev! I love chocolate cake roll and need to make one soon!!!
Decided to try this for Christmas but was extremely disappointed in the cake. I Tried to unroll and it cracked in multiple places. Applied the filling and again had a difficult time rolling up due to the large multiple cracks in the cake. I will definitely not be using this recipe again. I have been making pumpkin rolls for years without problems so was upset to find this recipe failed its5 Stars approval rating.
Hi M. Wheeler, sorry to hear that the recipe did not work for you. I've tested the recipe over 3 times and it has worked for me and other readers. Sometimes cake rolls do crack, sometimes they don't. I obviously was not there with you to see and know what went wrong. If a cake roll cracks I'm usually able to still"glue" it together with the filling. Your roll might have been over or under baked. If it didn't work, I understand you are not going to try it again. Pumpkin cake rolls are different from red velvet and they might crack less. Sorry for your experience!


Brexit Crunch: Is the EU Trying to Save the UK from Itself? Is That Even Possible?
The UK press is all over the map on the state of Brexit. That makes making sense of things even harder than usual.
At a minimum, it show that the EU's thumping of May at last month's Salzburg conference has led to an uptick in activity, as the EU27 leaders set an earlier deadline for the UK to serve up something realistic than the UK had previously thought it had (October versus November).
But it's far from clear that all the thrashing around and messaging amounts to progress. As we'll discuss, some press reports claim the EU is showing more flexibility, but the changes appear to be almost entirely cosmetic. If so, it would represent a cynical calculation that MPs are so illiterate about technical details that adept repackaging will get the dog to eat the dog food.
Another thing to keep in mind is that negotiators are always making progress until a deal is dead. The appearance of momentum can create actual momentum, or at least buy time. But here, time is running out, so the question is whether either side has made enough of a shift so as to allow for a breakthough.
One thing that may have happened, and again this is speculative, is that more key players in the EU are coming to realize that a crash out will inflict a lot of damage on the EU. A transition period is actually much more beneficial to the EU than the UK. It would not only allow the EU more time to prepare, but also enable it to better pick the UK clean of personnel and business activities that can move to the Continent in relatively short order.
By contrast (and not enough people in the UK appear to have worked this out), the UK will crash out with respect to the EU in either March 2019 or the end of December 2020. There's no way the UK will have completed a trade deal with the EU by then, unless it accedes to every EU demand. Recall that the comparatively uncomplicated Canada trade agreement took seven years to negotiate and another year to obtain provisional approval. And Richard North points out another impediment to negotiations: "….the Commission has to be re-appointed next year and, after Brexit, it will not be fully in operation until the following November." Now there are still some important advantages to securing a transition agreement, and they may be mainly political (who wants to be caught holding that bag?) but the differences may not be as significant for the EU as the UK. The UK will wind up having the dislocations somewhat spread out, first having to contend with falling out of all the trade deals with third countries that it now has through the EU in March 2019, and then losing its "single market" status with the EU at the end of 2020. But will the UK also be so preoccupied with trying to stitch up deals with the rest of the world that it loses its already not great focus on what to do with the EU?
That isn't to say there won't be meaningful benefits to the UK if it can conclude a Withdrawal Agreement with the EU and win a transition period. For instance, it has a dim hope of being able to get its border IT systems upgraded so as to handle much greater transaction volumes, a feat that seems pretty much unattainable by March 2019.
Second, they appear to be mainly about claimed progress or deadlocks on the trade front. Recall that Article 50 makes only a passing reference to "the future relationship," which is only a non-binding political declaration. However, these issue seems to have assumed more importance than it should on the UK end, because it has become a forcing device for the coalition to settle on what sort of Brexit it wants….and it remains fundamentally divided, as demonstrated by last week's Conservative Party conference. By contrast, there seems to be little news on the real sticking point, the Irish border.
The EU has offered the UK a "Canada plus plus plus" deal. Even if you take the Guardian story at face value, there is less there there than the breathless reactions in the UK would lead you to believe.
First, recall that "Canada plus plus plus" has long been derided by the EU as yet another way for the UK to try to cherry pick among the possible post-Brexit arrangements. Boris Johnson nevertheless talked it up as a preferred option to May's too-soft Chequers scheme at the Tory conference….and May did not mention Chequers. Did EU pols take that to mean May had abandoned Chequers to appease the Ultras?
Tusk said the EU remained ready to offer the UK a "Canada-plus-plus-plus deal" – a far-reaching trade accord with extra agreements on security and foreign policy.
That reads as a Canada style free trade agreement plus additional pacts on non-trade matters. That is not what "Canada plus plus plus" signified on the UK side: it meant the UK getting a free trade deal with other (typically not specified) goodies so as to make it "special" and more important, reduce friction.
Boris Johnson and other hard Brexit Tories seized on Tusk's remarks, arguing they showed it was time for May to immediately switch tack and abandon her Chequers proposals for remaining in a customs union for food and goods. "Tusk's Canada-plus-plus-plus offer shows there is a superb way forward that can solve the Irish border problem and deliver a free-trade-based partnership that works well for both sides of the channel," Johnson said.
Some Brexiters overlook that the EU's version of a so-called Canada deal incorporates a guarantee to prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland, which would keep Northern Ireland in the EU customs union and single market. "Canada plus-plus-plus" is also a fuzzy concept that has no formal status in EU negotiating documents. Michel Barnier, the bloc's chief negotiator, mentioned the idea in an interview with the Guardian and other papers last year.
"I don't know what Canada-plus-plus-plus means, it is just a concept at this stage," Varadkar said, adding that it did not negate the need for a "legally binding backstop" – a guarantee to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland if there is no agreement on the future trading relationship.
The Government's whips' office has spent recent months making contact with the MPs as a back-up option for when Theresa May's Brexit deal is put to a vote in Parliament in early December, The Daily Telegraph has been told.
Brexiteers have issued a last-ditch threat to vote down the budget and destroy the government unless Theresa May takes a tougher line with Brussels — amid signs that she is on course to secure a deal with the European Union.
Leading members of the hardline European Research Group (ERG) last night vowed to vote down government legislation after it was claimed the prime minister will use Labour MPs to push her plan through the Commons.
Reporting of the key issue of our times gets more bizarre by the day. The latest contribution to the cacophony is the Telegraph, telling us that Ministers are in talks with as many as 25 Labour MPs "to force through Theresa May's Chequers Brexit deal".
That approaches are being made to Labour MPs is not news, but the idea that attempts to sell them the Chequers deal confounds recent indications that the prime minister is preparing to roll out "Chequers II", with enough concessions to all the Commission to conclude a withdrawal agreement.
If we are looking at such a new deal, then it cannot be the case that anyone is attempting to convince Labour MPs of the merits of the old deal. And, even if Ministers succeeded in such a task, it would be to no avail. Chequers, as such, will never come to parliament for approval because it will never form the basis of a deal that can be accepted by Brussels.
That should consign the Telegraph story to the dustbin now piled high with incoherent speculation, joining the steady flow of reports which are struggling – and failing – to bring sense to Brexit.
Brussels is planning to rattle the UK by unveiling tough contingency measures for a no-deal Brexit that could force flight cancellations and leave exporters facing massive disruption if Britain departs the EU without an exit agreement in March.
Against expectations in London, the plan is likely to encompass a limited number of initiatives over a maximum of eight months, diplomats who have seen the document told the Financial Times.
Notably, the EU is not planning special arrangements for customs or road transport and only limited provisions for financial services — a decision that, if seen through, would cause long queues and operational difficulties at ports and airports.
The minimalist emergency plan, designed to be rolled out should there be no breakthrough in Brexit talks, would increase the pressure over already fraught negotiations between the UK and the EU ahead of a summit on 17 October. EU plans would then be firmed up by December….
The commission has thus far resisted outlining details of its plans for a no-deal Brexit for fear it would disrupt tense negotiations. But with just six months to go before Brexit, EU member states have pressed Brussels to speed up its preparations in case no deal is agreed in time.
Brussels will outline general principles for deciding the fields requiring special measures, which must only mitigate significant disruptions in areas of "vital union interest". The measures would be applied by the EU until the end of 2019 on a unilateral basis. They could be revoked with no notice, according to diplomats.
The plans are intended to enable basic air services, allowing flights to land and fly straight back to the UK, and to extend air safety certificates and security exemptions for UK travellers in transit. Visa-free travel is envisaged for British citizens, as long as it is reciprocated.
Ministers expect to discuss Brexit in a week's time when some hope that officials will have clarified how the UK proposes to handle cross-border regulatory checks if no progress is made on agreeing a free trade deal with the EU.
There has been speculation that this solution could involve the whole of the UK agreeing to be part of a common customs area with the EU in order to avoid the possibility of an invisible border separating Northern Ireland from Great Britain, in the event that no long-term deal is signed.
Yet nothing seems to be leaking from No.10, with officials saying merely that proposals would emerge "soon". Says the Guardian, these are likely to form the basis of technical negotiations with Brussels "as officials scramble to find a form of words for the withdrawal agreement that the UK proposes to sign with the EU".
Any such timing will, of necessity, rule out any formal consideration by the October European Council. Those who understand the detail will know that, before anything can be considered by the European Council, it must first be agreed by the General Affairs Council, meeting as 27.
Currently, this is scheduled for 16 October (Tuesday week) – a day before the Article 50 European Council which starts its two-day session on the 17th. On the face of it, there doesn't seem to be enough time to factor in any last-minute proposals from London, especially as details must first be circulated to Member State capitals for comment.
This does nothing, though, but confirm that which we already know – that if there is to be a final showdown, then it is going to come at the special meeting in November (if this actually happens), or even the meeting scheduled for 13-14 December.
Even the rumor mills don't give much reason to think there is a solution to the Irish border. If May really hasn't abandoned Chequers, all the fudging to come up with a content-free "future relationship" section will be to the detriment of UK citizens, since the Government will keep holding on to a Brexit plan that the EU will never accept. But the best interests of ordinary people have gotten short shrift all along.

"MPs are so illiterate about technical details" This is almost certainly true, so a good assumption.
I think its a good call to say that the 'leaks' are coming from non-insiders, thats the most likely explanation for how incoherent they seem to be. Its not helped of course by people like Junkers coming out with seemingly fairly random statements, but he seems a bit of an attention junkie, even by politician standards.
One of my many incorrect calls on this was that when the vote first happened, that the core European countries would immediately go into mercantilist mode, and go all out to attract business from the UK without bothering to concern themselves with British feelings. It seems that the belief that some sort of a deal, generally favourable to the EU, would be made prevented that.
But certainly Macron is doing this now – he has hosted the CEO's of all the major car companies, blatently marketing France as a destination, and no doubt a lot more of this is going on behind the scenes. I expect this is driven by the conclusion that there is no hope of a reversal or a 'soft' agreement. But I would also guess that there is a calculation that Europe needs the extra 18 months of a transition period in order to get the best out of this. Many UK based companies may simply opt to sit out the chaos and see what happens, rather than go for the enormous expense of a panicked last minute move. So this may be the driver behind the EU seemingly willing to offer an olive branch in order to get a fudged agreement through to allow the transition period to go forward. They would of course know that this would not change anything fundamentally about Brexit.
But as we've repeatedly seen, one of the main obstacles in getting any sort of agreement is the technical illiteracy of so many of the key players. Its hard to agree with people who simply don't understand the topic they are dealing with.
The auto companies will just scale down production for the UK market alone, along with whatever production capacity was used for non-EU exports. It's not clear what May promised Ghosn, but I'm sure Nissan's made contingency plans for the UK Government reneging (e.g. if May is pushed out) and they've probably started executing on the parts that are not too costly or disruptive.
1) Confident that there would be some kind of late agreement. His main source of optimism were some positive remarks from Barnier.
2) He was fed up with Macron and his increasingly mercantilistic approach.
When I talked about disagreements inside the tory party and the DUP about the irish border he looked worried and could not rebate my worries that a deal was unlikely. Anyway I enjoyed the conversation with someone worried and with knowledge and interest on the issue.
By the way, I concur with you on Junkers behaviour and motives. This guy should quit ASAP.
I think the EU also want to be seen to be making a sustained renewed effort to get a deal such that if the talks do eventually break down it will be harder for the UK to paint the EU as the bad guys. PR at this stage is very important!
Even allowing for the chaotic and uninformed way in which the UK media report these issues, I'm inclined to think that the different stories I've read about what the EU might do actually reflects an increasing actual incoherence in Brussels and in major national capitals.
I don't mean by that that EU unity is coming apart: it's much more complicated than that. For as long as there seemed to be a chance of the UK developing a coherent position which it could then discuss with Barnier to organise a coherent withdrawal, most nations simply didn't see Brexit as a major policy issue. Even the never-ending crisis in London was covered in Europe more as light relief than anything else. The problem is that, as some of us have been saying for months now, negotiations are effectively over, and any outcome is likely to be negative, not just for the UK but for others states as well. The latter point is one that most EU states have only just begun to grasp, and the key point is that a disorderly exit of any kind will affect different EU states in different ways.
Multilateral negotiations in teams are always very problematic, but they can be made to work, in my experience, so long as there is a common interest (or at least an overlap) between the members of the tram; That was broadly true in the past but not necessarily so true now. As the real crisis approaches, the 27 are likely to find that their interests on certain questions are no longer aligned, but may even be opposed to each other. I suspect a bit of selective leaking and launching of trial balloons may even have started.
I wouldn't read too much into Macrons's attempts to lure car manufactures to France. No doubt it's part of the game, but It's very much of a piece with his economic policy (inasmuch as he has one) over the last eighteen months, to try to bring Anglo-Saxon businesses to France by getting rid of tiresome things like employment regulations. He's in a big hole politically at the moment, and needs all the help he can get.
Thank you. Sensible analysis as usual.
There are obviously two possible paths on the decision tree for Mrs May: agree a deal with the EU and try to get it through the UK system; or no-deal. The latter justifies no great commentary from me at present. It will be painful for a lot of people and could cause the next world crash.
The big unknown IMO is how the Commons will vote on any deal, if one is agreed, once matters become absolutely critical and if they are given the chance. Will enough of the ultras and DUP be cowed by the prospect of a 'crash-out' or a general election leading to a Labour Government to back a May/EU agreement once the decisive moment comes? Will enough MPs from other parties decide to back what May comes back with (or at least abstain) if the alternative is to have a degree of responsibility for a 'crash-out'? I do not think they will myself, as I think many want a General Election. But I am no prophet.
I would not rule out May trying for another election as a last desperate throw of the dice. A lot of people think she only has a few more months in office as matters stand. If you are facing the firing squad shortly, why not make a dash for it and run the risk of a slightly earlier death if there is a glimmer of hope associated?
The goal would be to obtain more seats in the Commons in order to force something through or pass the poisoned chalice to Corbyn. The danger of course is that she achieves neither, as last year.
See, the outcome where the deal is voted down, May's government crashes, and Corbyn gets elected, is the best outcome for Johnson, as he then can do what he does best – sniping lying journalism. That would very likely (together with "My plan would have worked!") get him to be the Tory leader.
The problem with May's letter to Ghosn is that he is an employee of the French State. It is reasonable to assume that the only people not to know the contents of the letter are the poor benighted Brits.
Bill Mitchell and Tom Fazi, in "Reclaiming the State," offer some crucial Brexit advice from the standpoint of MMT. "The mainstream viewpoint commonly associates the prospect of a unilateral exit…with predictions of devastation, catastrophe, hyperinflation, financial market lockout, etc." Yet, "it is highly likely that the benefits of exit would outweigh the costs, if the exit decision is simultaneously accompanied by a decision to reject the current flawed neoliberal approach in favour of a fiscally active policy stance that seeks to maximise the well-being of the citizenry. If the exiting government refuses to free itself of the various self-imposed external constraints characteristic of neoliberal regimes and continues on the path of austerity, privatization and wage restraint, then the exit is likely to be even more costly than continued euro membership. If, on the other hand, the government chooses to use its regained currency and fiscal sovereignty to bring idle resources (including the unemployed) back into productive use–while at the same time re-establishing a degree of control over capital, trade and labour flows as well as over the national financial sector and other key sectors of the economy–full employment and economic growth could be achieved relatively swiftly…." Wise words IMHO, but is anyone listening?
I don't think many are listening, sadly.
I bought this book some time ago but have not had time to get to it yet.
Given the incredible incompetence accompanying this process, It is likely that the costs may well outweigh any benefits.
The UK has no interest in a "fiscally active state". It would have implemented neoliberal policies on its own had it not been in the EU. And with a post-Brexit sterling crisis (very likely in a crash out), Mr. Market would see more spending as inflationary and push the currency lower.
The Tories are even more extreme Neoliberals than most of the EU. The Blairites are only slightly more moderate. Corbyn and McDonnell lean in the right direction but show little evidence of any deep understanding of Neoliberalism or MMT. Someone should strap them to a chair and read Reclaiming the State and Blyth's Austerity to them.
So as things stand a negative outcome is by far the most likely.
Speaking of Blairites, Chris Leslie was in the City yesterday lunchtime. He was walking by HSBC's former HQ, Vintners' Place. The building is now occupied by Northern & Shell. N&S is a strange beast. It publishes downmarket stuff like the Daily Express, the middle brow / market Jewish Chronicle and august material like Asian Babes, Men Only and Readers' Wives. One wonders if Leslie fears not being selected to fight the next general election and is looking for a job.
Yes, but, These are policies that could be implemented far, far easier within the calm waters of the EU should the will be there in the first place, which it is absolutely not. In practice it is probably not so very easily to radically change an entrenched policy stance while cleaning up the various messes left after Brexit and being simultaneously and unceremoniously strapped over a barrel by the US negotiators on the "Free Trade Deals".
My bet is that after Brexit, the UK regime intends to slam the PKI-needles on privatisation, wage suppression and austerity right into the rails while blaming Europe for Everything, using a war-like rhetoric.
Mitchell should probably do some travel.
Then he could find that UK still has sterling, and BoE hands in the EU were not tied anymore than it will be when it will be out, in regards of supporting private currency issuance (aka loans). It aint' Greece. Mitchell very often (I'd like to know whether intentionally or not) confuses EU with the EURozone. They are not the same, by a long shot.
Even the famous "must adopt EUR" is really, if you bother to read the relevant EU law, "must adopt EUR, but only if you feel ready". I.e. a timetable of "never" works just as well – there's no practical lever to force it, the country TELLS the EU when it wants to adopt EUR, not the other way around. This has been practically shown by Visegrad 4, of which only one (Slovakia) adopted EUR – and that adoption arguably makes sense, since it's for all economic terms and purposes an outpost of German and French car manufacturers (guess the country manufacturing most cars per capita?), so lashing itself to a mast a bit more makes sense.
Mitchell also repeatedly shown he does not understand practicalities of international trade. His approach to it is, to use Yves's phrase, 'assume can opener'.
Vlade, could you supply a link the the legal euro passage you have in mind? Thanks.
To be fair to Bill, he does travel a lot. While he does tend, unfortunately, to juxapose the EU and the Euro, he is aware that 'EU' and 'Euro' are not coterminous. One could completely agree with his criticisms of the EU elite and their machinations but come to opposite conclusions about Brexit. Indeed, one could view the UK elite as worse in a number of respects than the EU elite. For instance, just as there is a bully mentality operating in the EU approach to Greece, bullying by the UK elite could be said to be just as bad if not worse. Look what they are doing to the disabled and other vulnerable members of society. And the neoliberal crapification in the UK could also be said to be worse than that implemented by the EU, except possibly in the case of Greece. Would the Commission do to Germany or France or the Netherlands what they have been doing to Greece? There are many reasons to think, No.
I perhaps should add that Bill may be comparing what happened in Australia when the UK dumped Australia when it entered the EEC to the present. I am doubtful that what happened to Australia in the 1970s and its ability to recuperate is comparable to the current situation. One difference between the UK and Australia is that the UK has few natural resources. For instance, steel is involved in most industrial processes, even, say, in processing wood, and Australia is rich in iron ore. The UK is not. Couple this with the egregious incompetence of the government — I am not certain that Labour would necessarily be a lot better, and you do not have a recipe for a happy outcome. In addition, manufacturing procedures have changed to just in time processes. Could adjustment be made to disruptions in this? I am not sure, but I doubt it given the government's neoliberal attitudes.
It took more than decade for NZ (which had the same experience) to recover. And, as you say, they had export industry, if one where it was harder to adjust that Oz (dirt is a dirt, easier to export than butter and meat).
ChrisPacific may comment more on what impact it had on NZ.
Yves says, and I fully agree, that to deal with this in the UK would require war-like planning for the economy. That's not obvious anywhere, for any of the political parties in the UK.
If you then dig into convergence criteria, the main thing that allows a no-timescale opt out is that of the criteria is participation in ERMII – which is only on request of the new state. No request, no membership, no EUR.
The other out is a legislation on legal compatibility, which again is not in the EU's gift to enforce.
TBH, what also gets my goat with him is that his hatred for EU makes him one of the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" brigade, giving your new "friends" a free pass.
As you say, and as anyone who had looked at the UK politics recently would well know, the UK elite is worse than the EU elite (and I have no love lost there. I voted Remain – but I'm on record even here on NC that my reason for voting Remain was solely because the UK pols would screw up the leaving, and they are even worse than I thought possible). So, as bad as it sounds, EU was likely a positive for the UK by restraining the pols – which they are very quick to dump to achieve the free-for-us-not-for-thee-market paradise.
And to understand that doesn't take practical experience with international trade, which Bill is clearly missing but is happy to opine on.
Many thanks for this, vlade.
I agree with this – Mitchell was actually speaking last week in Dublin, I managed to miss it by getting the time of the event wrong.
I like his blog and find his explanations on MMT invaluable. But he really does consistently misinterpret the workings of the EU/Eurozone. His arguments in favour consist of lots of 'ifs', i.e. 'if' the UK had a proper government and wasn't entirely dominated by neoliberals… He seems blind to the reality that the UK was in fact one of the primary drivers behind the neoliberal direction of the EU, so the notion that somehow they are 'freeing' themselves from it is simply ridiculous. Plenty of progressives within the EU are relieved that the UK is gone for precisely this reason.
Plenty of progressives within the EU are relieved that the UK is gone for precisely this reason.
3) Many policies that the politicians cannot sell locally, they will instead push via Bruxelles, then turn around and blame the EU for the outcome.
4) Most people don't want to be locked up inside the same country as the anti-EU'er's – since many are considered to be nutters and one just don't know what they will do in the longer run once "unchained".
5) Many policies that your home politicians wouldn't take because they disrupt their peace on earth –for instance related with environmental protections– come and are assumed as if they were their own ideas so they can show off how progressive they are when needed.
I'd much prefer to be ruled from Brussels than from Westminster, especially if we dropped the Westminster.
Keep Brussels and local-level (just give the ones in the UK comparable powers that a lot of continentals have, and no, you don't need council taxes for that – there are countries which for example allocate part of the income/business tax to the local council based on residency).
Now that would be turkeys for Xmas vote.
The original requirement was in the Maastricht Treaty, although I can't find right now the exact wording.
But (quite deliberately I believe) the Treaty never set out any obligation on States to achieve the convergence criteria required, by implication making it a non-binding requirement. Sweden, for example, does not have the opt out that Denmark and the UK negotiated, but simply never joined the ERM (Exchange Rate Mechanism), ensuring that it never fulfils the criteria.
I'm of a conspiracy bent. The UK and the EU have an eventual, acceptable deal in mind. Now they're only attacking each other from their most extreme poles with the final compromise ensuring they remain within predetermined limits of nastiness. In short, the information we get in the media is manipulated, incomplete, maybe even false. The whole charade reeks of the political mentality of the Russia hysteria. I can't believe that the whole circus is anything more than a ruse for us proles. Has anyone heard in the mean time where the Skripals are?
The security services have them tucked away.
Now that you mention it I'm surprised this possibility hasn't been considered before. The stakes in a crash out are actually the highest for the elites, not the working class– the people who voted Brexit and are suffering the most from the status quo. Not that the working classes, the left behinds, won't suffer in a crash out, but the pain of Brussels and the City of London is more important. Conspiracy isn't really necessary. There is an instinctive alliance of the well-to-do and the powerful.
Many of the elites think a hard Brexi and even a crash out are better than a deal. You need to read Brexit Central occasionally. My guess is some think they can become oligarchs in a plutocratic land grab, just like in Russia when the USSR fell. Others are wannabes and genuinely believe the UK can become a sort of Singapore or Hong Kong, and they'll profit from that. In the Three Blokes video (one hour detailed discussion of some of the ways Brexit would be a train wreck), one said he and his firm would profit and explained why.
The City of London will lose, but the individual banks can relocate activities to Dublin or the Continent or even the US. As multinationals, they and their executives have no loyalty to any country. There are individuals who will lose out because they can't or won't move if their job moves out of the UK.
The UK press was full on for at least the first year after Brexit about how great it was, to the degree that any pol or sensible person who raised concerns about Brexit risked being pilloried.
There are also. as Clive described long form based on conversations with his mother and having to go to some parties with heavy Conservative membership, that there are tons of people who are Small Englanders who are very much in favor of recovering a romanticized past. and others who genuinely believe all this talk of Brexit costs is false or at best wildly exaggerated. The UK can and will muddle through, and people who say otherwise aren't very clever.
Worrisome, as that raises the spectre of war in Europe.
Fortunately, pretty much no-one in the EU has an army in workable state (i.e. being able to conduct more than a "policing operation").
But the best interests of ordinary people have gotten short shrift all along.
Not long ago you posted the doco The Spider's Web: Britain's Second Empire. https://youtu.be/np_ylvc8Zj8 May, Johnson, Gove, Campbell etc. are all members of the class whose interests will be protected no matter what.
The power elite can always profit from a crisis. It wouldn't be the first time that a crisis was created for that purpose.
Meanwhile the bastards are quietly getting on with locking down Scotland.

Borderless: A Reading by Canadian Poets
Poets House, Spring Street, New York City
New York City – April 19, 2005 – Scott Griffin, founder of The Griffin Trust For Excellence In Poetry – the largest poetry prize in the world – will be speaking at a landmark New York City poetry event on the evening of Tuesday April 19th titled Borderless: A Reading By Canadian Poets. Poets House, a poetry and literary centre, was created in 1985 to provide a meeting place for both writers and lovers of poetry as well as a space for its impressive collection of 40,000 volumes. The Readings are part of the multi-event, New York launch of Open Field, edited by Sina Queyras with a preface by Molly Peacock – a brilliant new anthology of Canadian contemporary poetry. Five of the poets included in the anthology – Ken Babstock, Christian Bök (author of Eunoia which won the Canadian category Griffin Poetry Prize in 2002), Sue Goyette, Erin Moure (one of the three judges of the 2005 Griffin Poetry Prize) and Karen Solie will participate in this Poets House reading.
Scott Griffin will take part in the event representing Canadian poets and publishers by presenting a large collection of volumes of Canadian poetry offered to Poets House for its permanent collection. Griffin is pleased to be invited to speak to the gathering, noting that the enthusiasm displayed by Canadian publishers in providing the 626 volumes that make up the collection is proof positive of the Canadian commitment to poetry – and will cement a permanent bond between Canada's poetry community and Poets House in New York City. This event is the latest in a series of international events marking April as Poetry Month.
Griffin feels the interest shown by Poets House in establishing a Canadian poetry collection is due to the increase in attention to poetry, making appreciation of poetry truly "Borderless". Borderless: A Reading by Canadian Poets – Tuesday April 19th, 2005 – Poets House, 72 Spring Street, New York. Tel: (212) 431-7920.
On April 6th, in Toronto, Canada, the 5th Annual Griffin Poetry Prize shortlist was revealed. 433 submissions were received, three Canadian poets – Roo Borson, George Bowering and Don McKay – and four International poets – Fanny Howe, Matthew Rohrer, Michael Symmons Roberts and Charles Simic – were announced to the press and public.

The world of college athletics has changed in many ways over the past decade. Schools have changed conferences (sometimes twice), television contracts have expanded department's bottom lines, and there's more drive than ever when it comes to funding new capital projects on campus to build newer, bigger, shinier facilities.
These changes have also had an indirect impact on athletic department staff members, who are challenged even more to find a work / life balance. Weekends "off" are rare from September through May, holidays are spent managing football games or bowl trips, and spring break is sometimes spent with your basketball team during March Madness.
But now this activity has crept into summer. Take for instance my friend Chad Weiberg, Deputy AD at Texas Tech. Their baseball team hosted the first round of the NCAA Tournament, which began on Friday, June 3. Rain forced them to move their final game to Monday, June 6th and they advanced beating Dallas Baptist, 5-3. Their reward? Hosting the next round (called a Super Regional) in Lubbock, Texas, the following weekend. They won the second and third games of the regional and advanced to the College World Series, held in Omaha beginning on June 19. They lost two of their first three games in Omaha, the last of which to eventual Champion Coastal Carolina on June 23, and were bounced from the CWS.
A great run for the team, the players and the coaches. But for Chad? It was an extra month of baseball (aka, "work") that he wasn't necessarily planning for. I talked to him on July 13 and he sounded tired and dejected that he was now "in the office" for the rest of the summer as football season looms, and behind it, basketball season.
The College World Series ended on June 30, marking the end of the college athletic "season". SEC Football Media Day, a four-day event that allows the media to meet with players and coaches to preview the upcoming season, began on July 11. This means that only 12 days separated two of these events. The idea of a summer "break" has all but been eliminated.
People like Chad, while being asked to do more and more, are always going to look for tools to help them work smarter and more efficiently. Staff sizes remain static, but the requests made of them seem to increase exponentially. Automation, streamlined business practices, and increased revenue have moved Tennessee and Tulane to upgrading their ticketing solution to AudienceView in the past 10 months as they look to make more fans happy with the same amount of resources. In the meantime, know that the college football season kicks off in 35 days. If you're interested in finding Chad, you can call his office. He'll be there.
Why shouldn't your school have the same firepower behind them as other schools?
Your team is only as smart as the data they have, so you need to make sure that everyone is working off the same platform.
Why has everyone started expressing interest in this novel way to sell tickets?
AudienceView has been helping schools of all sizes for over 12 years, so we have first hand knowledge in boosting the success of athletic departments all over North America.
Technology may not be a tangible investment, but it's one of the most valuable tools you can equip your stadium with.
Selling packages is the easiest way to fill seats in the long and short term.
Ask and you shall receive. But what if you're not asking the right person for the right thing?
Keeping your customers happy allows you to drive down your acquisition costs, and growing your family will only help you in the long run.

Artistic hobby which became multi-million-pound international business recognised with major award
Brigg-based Wrendale Designs sells products around the world and has received a Queen's Award for Export

Huge growth which turned a stockbroker's artistic hobby into a multi-million pound business has led to a Queen's Award for Export landing in North Lincolnshire.
Hannah Dale started Wrendale Designs seven years ago after the owner of a local shop selling some of her original artwork said she should put the designs onto greeting cards.
Since then, she hasn't looked back, with husband Jack joining the business, through which products are now sold across the world.
The couple employ more than 30 staff at their Brigg headquarters and more than 50 self-employed sales representatives ensure their products can be bought across Europe, the US, Australia, and a host of other countries.
Hannah said: "We feel very lucky that our products have been so well received overseas and we're really proud to receive this award.
"We had to show three years of exceptional export growth, as well as demonstrate a clear export strategy."

Jack, who looks after the business side, said: "We realised quite quickly that there was demand for our collections overseas.
"We have a subsidiary in the States, Wrendale Designs Inc, which has enabled us to set up a bank account and take payments over there."
They are now looking at setting up a warehouse in the Netherlands, with a European operation seen as helping protect the business from any potential Brexit fallout after sales to EU countries directly from Brigg doubled in the last year.
Jack said: "Funnily enough, we only really started exporting seriously to Europe after the 2016 referendum.
"We had been exporting to the States, Canada and Australia some time before that."
He added: "We export to Switzerland but with it being outside the EU, it does entail more paperwork.

"It's another reason for establishing the base in the Netherlands as we will be trading within the EU after Brexit.
"We want to make it as easy as possible for our customers to trade with us."
Hannah grew up in Scawby and went to Caistor Grammar School, before reading Zoology at Cambridge.
She worked in London before returning to Lincolnshire in 2008 to marry Jack, a mechanical engineer, settling in Melton Ross.
Hannah now sits as head of a talented graphic design team and its designs can be found in garden centres and other retail outlets in the UK across a range of gifts and kitchenware.
In January, the couple, who have three children, are launching a range of watches, water bottles, satchels and bags.
They moved into their 10,000 sq ft Station Road warehouse in Brigg in 2015 and soon realised it would not be big enough.

Jack said: "By the time another 9,000 sq ft was added a year later we had already outgrown it.
"More warehouse space is something we are looking at again. We have had 30 to 40 per cent growth over the last three or four years and are constantly looking at how we can move the business forward still further."
International growth and the award application has been supported by North Lincolnshire-based RNS Chartered Accountants.
Partner Alex Douglas, who has been praised by Hannah and Jack for his support, said: "It's a fantastic story of a business that has grown from basically nothing into a serious employer and exporter.
"It's been fascinating to watch and a privilege to help Hannah and Jack.
"They have worked hard for their success and are constantly looking at ways to improve the business and the customer experience.
"They are an example and inspiration to others."

sorry it was so quiet here. spent the whole week in bed, fighting the flu. slowly recovering now... will this winter ever end?
our dear friends Tine Colen and Sophie Anson made a beautiful exhibition together. taking pictures was a bit difficult in the strange light and without mieke.
yesterday we made a trip to lille to see the exhibition of jockum nordström. it's definitly worth a visit if you're not too far away. many many works, and all brilliant! (in the summer the exhibition will travel to london as well!!) we were not allowed to make photos but luckily the catalogue includes all the works from the exhibition.
the museum also has a nice art brut collection, more about that very soon!
with the camera. visited this place yesterday to have a look and totally fell in love. a bit like a castle, the style. and full of nice things and colors. looking forward to go back and shoot the whole place!

I am importing my own UML profile into EA. By the way, I would like to say that EA does a very good job with this compared to other UML tools.
1- when I draw states, the tagged values of the stereotype corresponding to this state, can be displayed but only if I modify them from the default ones ... is this a bug ?
2- and if I draw activities then the tagged values cannot be displayed at all it seems, it this normal ? or is there something I'm doing wrong ?
3- in sequence diagrams, is it possible to associate a stereotype to a message ? If so what is the key word that I would need to put in the my profile xml file for "Applies to" ???

Strategic Human Capital Management in Municipal Government: An Assessment of Implementation Practices
By Jacobson, Willow S.; Sowa, Jessica E.
In the wake of the financial challenges faced by government during the 2000s, the need for effective and efficient management of public organizations' human capital has become increasingly important. Municipal governments in particular are facing reduced resources, increased workplace costs, and growing demands for services (Ammons, Smith, & Stenberg, 2012; Jimenez, 2009; Martin, Levey, & Cawley, 2012). Balancing these challenges, alongside the recognition that hiring additional staff may not be a possibility, requires that municipalities think critically about how they are using their workforce. Human resources (HR) play a critical role in the success of organizations; indeed, human capital can be the most critical component for maintaining a competitive advantage (Pfeffer, 1998). Scholars studying human resource management (HRM) in the private sector have demonstrated that these practices directly impact organizational performance (Lawler & Boudreau, 2009; Ulrich, Brockbank, Johnson, Sandholtz, & Younger, 2008). However, only recently have leaders and managers in the public sector recognized the role that HRM can play in shaping the strategic direction and performance of public organizations (Daley, 2002; Jacobson, Sowa, & Lambright, 2014; Selden, 2009).
HR represents a significant, if not the most significant, expenditure for public organizations (for service organizations, it is often as high as 70% or 80% of the total operating budget) (Pynes, 2009). Given the size of this set of expenditures, the potential roles for HR professionals to play are numerous and critical to the continued operations and performance of local governments. Local government represents a robust area in which to examine the capacity of government organizations to leverage their HR to improve performance. Municipal governments vary in terms of their level of resources devoted to HRM and their overall staffing structure (i.e., the degree to which they have professional HRM managers), raising questions on how well these organizations have implemented the necessary practices to leverage the strategic impact of HR and use their human capital toward developing a competitive advantage.
This article responds to these questions, examining the degree to which municipal governments have implemented HRM practices associated with the broader strategic approach to HRM known as strategic human capital management (SHCM). Using data from a 2012 survey of municipalities in Colorado and North Carolina, this article explores the following questions: (a) To what degree are municipal governments implementing SHCM practices? (b) Which SHCM practices are the most common? and (c) What factors influence implementation?
This article has four sections. The first section "Developing a Strategic Approach to HRM" provides a review of the research on SHCM, focusing on how this approach to HRM is a departure for many governments, the core principles and practices associated with this approach, and the current research on the HRM practices of municipal governments. The second section "Data and Method" presents the data used to examine the research questions, detailing the survey design and data analysis methods. The third section "Findings and Discussion" presents the findings, showing that HR departments are engaging a number of new practices and more are taking on roles that involve offering strategic advice on HR and broader management issues. However, the level of engagement in SHCM is not comprehensive or consistent. A number of factors related to HR departments engaging in SHCM practices are explored, including the perceived role of HR as a strategic actor, performance levels on core HR tasks, the collection and use of metrics, and HR staff capacity. The last section "Conclusion" concludes with limitations and recommendations for future research.
Developing a Strategic Approach to HRM
To understand the movement toward a more strategic approach to HRM in local government, it is important to briefly explore the point of departure, traditional or classic HRM systems. …

Last year, I finally figured out a New Year's Resolution that I couldn't break.
My only resolution this year is to be good to myself.
This mean to be good to myself physically, spiritually, mentally, socially, psychologically and in any other way I can think of.
So of course like many, I struggle with my weight. I plan to eat more healthily in the new year. But oops, I messed up and ate a whole bag of oreos when I was upset.
So now because of my new year's resolution, I cannot sit there and beat myself up, instead I chalk it up to knowing I need to work on my emotional eating, determine it is something I will work on with my therapist (yup even therapists see therapists), and tell myself I know I can do better and go enjoy the rest of my day.
Finally a way to make mistakes and not determine you have messed up your new year's resolutions.
And that is me in the picture above. One of my good friends is a awesome photographer. This was one of those things of being good to myself. I had put off getting a photoshoot done because I was always working on getting thinner, being healthier, trying hairstyles and I always put it off. I really wanted to have a professional photo shoot done (hadn't had one done in over 20 years), so I did, instead of berating myself for not losing enough weight or not doing something with my hair or whatever, I decided I deserved to enjoy who I am now and I really did enjoy it. That picture was not planned, we were in a garden and I loved all of the petals that were on the ground and I through them up to see what they would do in our pretty strong breeze. My friend was on the ball and caught it. This is what being good to yourself is.
If being good to yourself means living more authentically or working on your issues and you want to start, send me an email and see if we are a fit for therapy. I especially love working with those on the gender spectrum or the LGBTQQIAA+ community becoming their authentic selves.

Fresh Coat:
Fresh Coat Painters Joins Exclusive Entrepreneur's 2013 Franchise 500 List
By: Fresh Coat | 1,019 Shares 30 Reads
The Fresh Coat Painters franchise was just honored as one of Entrepreneur magazines top 500 franchises of 2013.
Cincinnati, Ohio (PRWEB) January 11, 2013 - Fresh Coat Painters, the high-volume, interior residential and commercial painting service, today announced its inclusion in Entrepreneur magazine's prestigious 2013 Franchise 500®. Fresh Coat ranked 205th among the comprehensive franchise rankings.
"We are proud to once again have been recognized by Entrepreneur magazine. It is an honor to be included in this tremendous accolade," said Bernard Brozek, Fresh Coat president. "Our continued extraordinary growth and success is a testament to the dedication and commitment of our franchise owners to the Fresh Coat name. Our exceptional business model, dedicated corporate team, and passionate franchise owners show why the Fresh Coat brand continues to build momentum."
The placement marks Fresh Coat's fourth showing on the list; in 2012 the company ranked 284th. Fresh Coat last year also ranked within Entrepreneur's Top 100 for both low-cost and top home-based franchises.
This is the 34th year for the list. According to Entrepreneur magazine, to be eligible for the Franchise 500® ranking, a franchisor must have a minimum of 10 units, with at least one in the United States. Entrepreneur ranks companies based on a number of criteria, including financial strength and stability, growth rate and size of the system. The magazine also considers the number of years a company has been in business and the length of time it has been franchising, among other considerations. Financial data is analyzed by an independent CPA. The company must be seeking new franchisees in the United States.
In 2012, Fresh Coat Painters opened 46 new franchises. The company currently operates 89 franchises in 27 states with plans to reach more than 100 franchise locations by the end of the year.
"As we continue to grow, we always look for ways to better support our franchise owners. I'm proud that the current avenues we offer for assistance are paying off," Brozek noted. Fresh Coat owners have a range of corporate offerings that support their clients and make the process smoother, including a 24/7 call center, proprietary EPIC estimating system, Paint Now-Pay Later same-as-cash financing, Automatic Touch-Up for businesses, and fund-raising opportunities for charities.
Fresh Coat based its business model on the idea that the painting industry needed a makeover because of the negative stereotypes that often come to mind of workers who arrive late, leave early, provide poor quality or just make a mess.
"Business professionals know that running a painting business isn't just about painting," Brozek said. "It's about the client's experience from the initial call through the consultation, the job completion and the follow-up. When you're paying for a job to be done, you want to feel you're getting quality work at a reasonable price. Our business model helps ensure that outcome."
Brozek said Fresh Coat's success in attracting new franchise owners and in earning the praise of industry observers stems from its commitment to professionalism and client services.
"Our owners are business people, not painters," Brozek said. "They focus their attention on promoting and growing the business while their experienced employees – never subcontractors – complete the jobs to the client's satisfaction. By hiring our own painters, our owners can assure quality for the client while protecting their brand and reputation. It's a model that has proved successful repeatedly throughout all our markets."

Gardens provide a beautiful backdrop that you can be seamlessly incorporated into your wedding theme and photo sessions.
If you're keen on an outdoor wedding but are umming and aahing about which direction to take, here are some themes that work like magic in the garden.
Constructed in 1985 and continually cultivated ever since the Willow Pond Japanese Gardens provides an authentic outdoor venue for an elegant Japanese-inspired wedding. With most trees here being at a semi-matured stage, the lush greenery complete with white river stones creates a peaceful ambience and all the enchantment you need.
Some additional touches in the garden can enhance this even further. Think Bonsai trees for table centrepieces, and colourful parasols for your bridesmaids as they walk down the aisle – this also creates a nice contrast against the garden's greenery in the wedding photos. Paper or sandalwood fans add to the mood and will keep the guests cool and happy if it's going to be a hot day. As the sun sets, paper lanterns from overhead wires provide a warm, inviting and magical glow.
A natural garden setting is a must for a quirky and whimsical boho-style wedding. Loose braids, flower crowns, and flowing dress materials will enhance the free-spirited feel of the garden, as will mismatched dining chairs, crockery and table centrepieces – why not go all-out with different natural materials? Wood, feathers and glass jars, and different flowers on each table will add to the 'young, wild and free' feel of the day.
Yes getting married means you're officially an adult, but there's nothing wrong with letting your inner-child run wild with an Alice in Wonderland theme. With final touches like fairy lights, China teacups and perhaps pretty party favours labelled 'Eat me,' you can bring the weird and wonderful magic of Wonderland to life in the garden while still keeping it classy. Go one step further with 'Queen of Hearts' themed centrepieces.
A rustic-feel wedding works perfectly amongst garden greenery, starting perhaps with a linen-draped and flower-adorned wooden arbour for the ceremony. When it comes to all the trimmings, try green blooms like kale, with blush and ivory flowers thrown-in for a romantic touch and a pop of subtle colour.
Mismatched milk bottles and mason jars filled with your favourite white or ivory flowers make understated table centrepieces, and you might like to extend the white theme through to the tablecloths. Wooden chairs add a nice contrast and keep things feeling homely. Finishing touches could include chalkboard menus, gilded China and old-school drink carts.
Make your wedding unique by introducing a bright and punchy colour to the wedding theme, a great way to lessen the formal-feel of the day – because, at the end of the day, a wedding is meant to be one big party!
White or ivory could be your base colour theme; throw blush pink or reds into the mix for a touch of fun and romance. Think white tablecloths and white-draped chairs with red rose centrepieces or even a hint of pink in your wedding dress.
The choices are endless when it comes to outdoor wedding themes, but no matter what theme you decide on, you can be sure it will be perfectly executed at Willow Pond. Contact us today and we'll provide all the guidance you need for your big day in the garden.

Stop calling Halsey #tribi – in fact, don't ever call anyone that
Whether you dig her music and public persona or not - leave her sexuality alone.
By Carly Haufe February 20, 2016
Attribution: weheartit.com
Although the New Jersey-born singer initially came up with the term in reference to her being biracial, bisexual, and bipolar, she has since distanced herself from it and earlier this week opened up about how much she hates it. I guess that this might be a lesson for us all – a cautionary tale, if you will – about the permanence of the things we say and do in the age of the internet. Thanks to the archival matrix of the world wide web, what we've done, what we've said, are much more likely to stick around forever and come back around to haunt us (she writes as she feels the chill of fear run down her spine).
[bctt tweet="I guess that this might be a lesson for us all about the permanence of the things we say and do in the age of the internet."]
It's important not to trivialize these things for so many reasons. Admirably, Halsey recognizes and acknowledges that she has white-passing privilege – but that doesn't negate her experience as a biracial person. I think it's important to note that she acknowledges that because it's a solid lesson in intersectionality and how it plays out in our identities.
stahp it.
[bctt tweet="she has white-passing privilege – but that doesn't negate her experience as a biracial person"]
It's important not to trivialize mental illness because it is so often invisible – but the obstacles it presents for people living with it are daily and frequently monumental struggles. It's great to have more public figures opening up about their own mental health and how it affects their lives – it gives voice to these issues from individuals who are highly visible and often highly regarded by the general public, so it goes some way toward destigmatizing mental illness and what life is like with them.
careful now!
In her track "Gasoline" off her Badlands (2015) release she sings, "I think there's a flaw in my code." For anyone who has ever struggled with any mental illness, those lyrics ring all too true. We really cannot afford to take any steps backward in this realm since people die from it every day in silence.
have you tried trivializing mental illness today? it's sooooo fun!
[bctt tweet="It's important not to trivialize mental illness because it is so often invisible"]
It's important not to trivialize bisexuality since bisexual folks often are met with resistance in both straight and gay communities. They can be mocked and told they aren't welcome at Pride events. They are marginalized by people telling them they 'just can't make up their mind,' or, if they ever settle into a long-term partnership with someone of the opposite gender, that they were really straight all along.
Conversely, they'll be told that they were really gay all along if they end up with a partner of the same gender. They don't lose bisexuality just because of things like that and they aren't just claiming it to get attention. It's who they are. Deal.
bleeerrrgh
As with any celebrity, there will be plenty of dreck flung in their direction – I guess what's kind of fascinating to me about this is that it's not just coming from her detractors but from her fans as well.
Maybe they don't realize yet the harmful nature of a flippant hashtag about intersectionality, but I'm not really down for it.

Tatjana ist eine Novelle von Curt Goetz. Sie entstand während seines Exils in etwa gleichzeitig (1944) mit dem Roman Die Tote von Beverly Hills, mit der sie das Motiv "älterer Mann liebt junges Mädchen" teilt.

Inhalt

Die Novelle handelt von einem älteren Arzt, der sich bei einem Konzert in die erst 13-jährige russische Cellistin Tatjana verliebt. Als sie nach dem Konzert durch einen Schwächeanfall zusammenbricht, wird er zu ihr gerufen, kann sie retten und ist von da an ihr Begleiter. Erst ist es nicht ganz klar, ob sie ihn auch liebt, aber mit der Zeit entwickelt sich eine Beziehung, die mit Tatjanas frühem Tod endet. Die Novelle erzählt die Liebesgeschichte aus Sicht des Arztes viele Jahre nach Tatjanas Tod.

Shouldn't we be putting the kids to sleep before 12 in the night? Well, that is what most rule books for perfect parenting would say. However, if there is an electrifying college baseball game going on, and is already into the extra innings, perhaps your kids can sleep a little late. You just couldn't have missed the game between Aggies and Horned Frogs.
The game that started on Monday morning between Texas A&M and TCU went well into the Tuesday morning, thanks to some enthralling performances by the players that kept the viewers on the edge of their seats. Well, this is the kind of game that we expect from the series. This was the kind of game that keeps the spirit of the tournament alive. It was much after midnight when the TCU edged past their might opponent and scored a winning run. The scoring run came right at the bottom of the 16th inning. Well, this may be the lowlight of the game, but nonetheless, the overall show was truly captivating.
In the 16th, two got out and Garrett Crain or TCU was already at the second base. But Evan Skoug, the TCU catcher, did something spectacular. He hit a grounder which went right behind the third base and the opponent baseman, Ronnie Gideon, fielded it. However, he somehow faltered and mishandled the ball. While he should have thrown the ball to the first base, he aimed at Crain. This apparently was the deciding moment. However, both the teams played exceptionally well Such games are remembered for a long time.
