" A bill advancing in the Iowa state Senate would relax child labor protections to allow 14 year-olds to work in industrial freezers and meat coolers." This isn't their own children they are talking about, it is further exploitation of often immigrant communities. washingtonpost.com/business/20

The joy of a wind channel. This year, the Arctic air has decided to go through several wind channels, which open and close randomly. The big rains in Callie has a huge flow by Alaska. This is a smaller flow and may only soak north of callie.

I always imagined that when I finished my book I would discuss it and share about it on twitter. But I stopped using twitter on December 16th, when I decided I couldn't abide by Elon's ownership behavior.

It's a sacrifice of book sales and our message to not be on twitter, but it also doesn't really feel like a choice because I just can't.

I appreciate you taking an interest in my book and talking with me about therapeutic inclusion programming here on mastodon.

I saw this story about a right wing parents' group called "woke busters" who were basically serving as the activist boots on the ground for Ron DeSantis's efforts to purge Florida's schools of the supposed scourge of "wokeness." So I dug a bit into that "woke busters" group. It's not great. salon.com/2023/02/03/call-the-

The 7 year old girl who kept her hand on her little brother's head to protect him while they were under the rubble for 17 hours has made it safely. I see no one sharing. If she were dead, everyone would share! Share positivity...

* It's worth noting Tyndall wrote that this field of study was completely unexplored, claiming he was the first to publish anything on the subject.

Also, Foote's background is incredibly fascinating & absolutely deserves further reading. She was also an advocate for women's rights & involved in many historical events in U.S. history. /2

Physicist John Tyndall is often credited with discovering the greenhouse effect, which he wrote about in 1859.

But female scientist Eunice Foote published a paper - 3 years earlier - demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its #climate.

Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work. climate.gov/news-features/feat #history #science #ClimateChange

We heard over the past few weeks from @EricReinhart in the @nytimes and Don Berwick in @jama_current on the extractive nature of the American healthcare, where salve lucrum, "hail, profit" is the reigning imperative of a system where service should come first. Why the drive towards ever-increasing profits in the sector? 1/

"In Iowa, Republican legislators introduced a bill in January to expand the types of work 14- and 15-year-olds would be permitted to do as part of approved training programs, extend allowable work hours, and exempt employers from liability if these young workers are sickened, injured or killed on the job." theguardian.com/us-news/2023/f

ChatGPT writes 15% longer and more critical performance feedback for women employees. It aso relies on stereotypes to choose pronouns. Examples: kindergarten teacher, nurse and reception = "she". Mechanic and construction workers = "he".

The vicious “groomers” campaign against public school teachers and the LGBTQ community has “deflected from the massive sexual abuse scandals that have plagued Christian institutions, including the Southern Baptist Convention, the Catholic Church, and the Mormon Church. ‘Annual surveys from [Christian Ministry Resources] suggest that in recent years, the pace of child-abuse allegations against American churches has averaged 70 a week,” according to PennLive.’”

"The bravery of the nine students — who endured horrific and daily harassment before and after they came to the school — cannot be discounted. But it also took federal judges, the Supreme Court, the U.S. Army and the president to desegregate one Arkansas high school. If Sanders hoped to elevate her party’s “limited government” platform or denigrate the president’s love of “government control,” as she put it, the Little Rock Nine is not a useful example." washingtonpost.com/history/202

We call ChatGTP an artificial intelligence, but essentially it's a search engine that doesn't acknowledge the sources it plagiarizes.
