"Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. calls himself an originalist, someone who thinks the Constitution should be interpreted only by how it would have been understood by the Founders when they wrote it. So it’s no surprise that his draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade is full of history.

"At least seven times, Alito cited Sir Matthew Hale, a 17th-century jurist who didn’t think marital rape was possible because wives were the property of their husbands, and who sentenced at least two women to die for witchcraft. Alito also cited a legal text from 1250 by Henry de Bracton that, in another section, says women are inferior to men, and that they sometimes give birth to literal monsters.

"Alito confined his exploration of the past to legal history and English common law. But to assess how the Founders would view abortion rights, it’s necessary to paint a fuller picture of what abortion was actually like in the time of the Founders."

Someone asked me, "Why use 3rd party apps when an official Mastodon app exists?"

It comes down to this: being open source, Mastodon is built for choice.

Some people like vanilla ice cream. Others like strawberry or chocolate.

Well, some people like vanilla Mastodon. Others like strawberry @icecubesapp or chocolate @ivory.

The fact Mastodon allows 3rd party apps is one large reason it's better than Twitter.

It's nice that we all get to choose our preferred flavour of the Fediverse!

Another Monday in a parallel universe. As HCWs, we spend our days dealing with patients who have #COVID19 (so many right now - of all ages), and helping patients with #LongCovid (of all ages), yet we have to explain to others why we won’t socialize or work indoors unmasked.

I’ve recently begun a new role as an advisor to the City of Reykjavik, Iceland. Stay tuned for some really interesting and exciting announcements. One of the best parts about what I get to do is the amazing diversity of cities I get to work with. Very excited about upcoming trips to get to know the city better. #Reykjavik #Iceland

Blumenfield, Kempler, and Krajcik (2006) suggest engagement in grounded in four factors:

Value- Learners tend to be engaged with material and lessons they believe are important to them. Value is also closely related to motivation, interest, and goals, all of which are addressed in the next section.

Competence- Learners tend to engage in activities they believe are within their abilities. Competence is grounded in one’s knowledge, their metacognitive abilities and their self-efficacy.

Relatedness- Learners tend to be engaged when they feel positive social connection to their peers.

Autonomy- Learners tend to be engaged when they can exercise choice about what they will study and their plan of study.

Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’. Please bear with it.

Time for a proper #commodon #introduction! I’m an Associate Prof. of #Communication Studies at Northeastern University. I study #disability and #criticaltech, kids/families’ #tech use, and disabled children’s #media use, primarily through #STS #sociology. My next book with MIT Press (Fall 2023) is “Kids Across the Spectrums: Growing Up Autistic in the Digital Age,” on what young people on the #autism spectrum are doing with media/tech, but also about what it means to “be social” with media.

New #Intro for coming back to this server

I'm going to be using this account to post about #Judaism & #HumanisticJudaism.

I'm a proud #Reform (member of Temple B'nai Israel in #OKC) and #Humanistic (@social.coop/@spinoza) Jew in #Oklahoma by way of #Conversion.

My views on #Israel and #Palestine do not fit well in Zionist or AntiZionist camps.

Nothing I post is legal advice.

Because it has to be repeated again and again: We need to drastically reduce the number of cars to solve our problems.
