Nothing says pro-life better than death penalty

Corporations want to bring back child labor, and some states are on board.

Arkansas: 9 year-olds can now be hired to work without parental ok.
Iowa: 14 year-olds could soon work in industrial freezers, meat coolers, and mines.
Ohio: kids may soon work year-round until 9pm

An underrated downside to filling so much of our country with non walkable suburban hellsprawl is that many drivers are totally inept driving in downtowns and are trained to do things like "speed up to beat the light" (because in sprawl stroads have painful minutes-long cycles) or roll through stop signs that present mortal danger in pedestrian -heavy areas

Did you know the city of San Francisco has a city-run darkroom and photo center? We also have classes here. For $30, I’m doing a 3-4 hour into to BW developing class. (Register for classes on SF recs and parks website. Runs on a winter / spring schedule. Classes usually book out within the hour of class registration)

Let’s be very clear: if you support forced births but don’t support universal health care, then you’re not pro-life.

Guv. Sarah Hucksterbee Sanders signed a law in Arkansas that makes child labor easier for employers to get away with. And now we have the following, from the WaPo:
"A bill advancing in Iowa would allow 14- and 15-year-olds to work certain jobs in meatpacking plants and would shield businesses from civil liability if a youth worker is sickened, injured or killed on the job."
Look at that last sentence again.

Jupes just texted me because a girl was having a seizure in their class. I’ve worked in special-ed classrooms where we had kiddos who seized regularly (experience that came in handy later when my first baby had a few as well), and anyway I’d forgotten how scary it can feel if you aren’t used to seeing them. Jupes didn’t panic, I’m so proud of them. Their classmate is doing fine now. Here’s a guide to what to do if you’re suddenly in that position, it’s great info to have: https://www.cdc.gov/epilepsy/about/first-aid.htm

Karl Mitchell was riding his cargo bike with his 11-year-old son in the front bucket, when he got t-boned by a car

He and his son were thankfully not seriously injured

He wrote an excellent piece about how it happened and how his city's street policies need to change: https://www.riverfronttimes.com/news/a-st-louis-county-driver-struck-me-and-my-son-we-need-change-now-39631312

@alyssa If you’re a programmer and don’t want to use a language implemented by trans people, your best bet is to take a compilers course and write one yourself.
