For a deep clean I use a curry brush (like this one: Four Paws Magic Coat Professional Series Grooming Brushes for Dogs & Cats l Trimmers, Nail Clippers, & Brushes Dog & Cat https://a.co/d/8j7CsHi) I had bought it for my cat, but discovered it works really well at pulling crap out from carpeting.

Excellent article - thank you for sharing it. I was familiar with the post Civil War “crisis” or masculinity because men weren’t “battle tested” but I wasn’t aware of the other historical echoes. At any point in history society is always on the verge of collapse because the kids are heathens and the world is evil. I do wonder about this conference in regards to mental health. I can’t imagine that they were encouraging men to talk about their feelings and seek help. I would love to be wrong.
