8. Pressed on whether her interpretation of the Stop WOKE Act would allow any instruction about historical prejudice, Baggett suggested that the book might be appropriate for children starting in fourth grade.

This directly contradicts what she wrote on the form

Suspending university education for women in Afghanistan condemned by the US and UK.

Been five days since Twitter suspended a bunch of journalists, including me, for tweeting out factual reporting. And we're still suspended.

CNN's @donieosullivan, NYT's Ryan Mac and I can't access Twitter until we delete specific tweets that they said included "private information" but were actually just reporting.

Journalists Linette Lopez and Susan Li, who also covered Musk, are still suspended. No explanation given.

Congress didn’t include the expanded Child Tax Credit in its spending bill.

It would have covered 19 million children.

You know what they did include?

A Medicaid eligibility check.

As many as 15 million people risk losing coverage.

Our priorities could not be more twisted.

How to plan a scientific project timeline

Take a sheet of paper and write out each step of the project; bonus points for using different colored pens and/or highlighting
Estimate how long you think each step will take
Triple that estimate
Put the sheet of paper on a corner of your desk
Discover sheet of paper several years from now and think "oh that's a cool idea for a project"

Two things struck me about the Masto difference from birdsite (yeah I know, there's a ton more, but just these for right now).

1 - No ads. It doesn't really register consciously anymore but no promoted ads, no autoplay video schmutz, no repeated posts of promoted tweets. Just... people.

2 - No algorithm. It's been said a million times before, but I just realized I'm no longer hesitant to favorite/boost a possibly controversial post for fear that I'll see more of the same.

For thousands of years, fermenting beer was considered a household task for #women.

By the Middle Ages, some sold beer at English markets. Female brewers wore tall, pointy hats to be easily spotted. They stood by cauldrons & often had cats to keep mice away.

Sound familiar? It should.

You see, when male brewers felt threatened by their success, they accused the women of witchcraft. These rumors may have led to some witch iconography we still recognize today.

Early in Trump’s administration, we would have follow back parties. We did this to bring attention to activists worth following, particularly around the Muslim ban. On Friday 23 December 2022 at 14:00 ET I will do just one party. Please come along with memes and gifs to find your people as well as meet new people.
This was one of our first parties. Everyone involved in this first party will be joining. 🖖🖖🖖

@willoremus I also think it depends on your app. I get notifications for everything in one.

The Mary Trump luncheon happened! President Bartlett came! Trump! Sheen! Griffin! Look at this cast of characters, my God. Michael Penn and Aimee Mann. Jennifer Taub brought her daughter. Dietrich Bader and Dulcy. Martin’s wife Janet. Oh, the conversation and the laughs…

“Charges recommended for Trump! Justice is coming for Trump! Lock him up!!”

Ok. Anyone want to do something about the 147 republicans who tried to overturn our free and fair election and install a dictator?

Republicans' gerrymandering efforts received an assist from the U.S. Supreme Court after the Court blocked new maps in Louisiana and Alabama and permitted elections to be held under discriminatory lines.
