REMINDER: After http://popular.info first published this story on Monday, Twitter appended a "Community Note" suggesting that teachers were not instructed to remove all books from classroom libraries.

That "Community Note" was misinformation

While we're talking about women prisoners in Scotland, did you know that a quarter of them are on remand, and the majority of those will not serve a custodial sentence? Even a few weeks on remand can mean losing your home, job and custody of children. That's bad for everyone.

"The rise of biosocial criminology has ... sparked alarm among some scholars, who argue that the science is shoddy — and that racist ideas and assumptions animate the field."

An ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING message from a teacher in Duval County, Florida who is being forced to make her classroom library inaccessible as a result of @RonDeSantisFL@twitter.com's policies

Two wannabe dictators who launched failed coups live in Florida yet somehow the governor of the state is a bigger fascist than either of them.

“Sanctions introduced in the UK and Europe in 2020 were supposed to prevent anyone from doing business with Prigozhin. He had also been sanctioned in the US in 2018.

But a vast cache of hacked emails shows that, under the leadership of Rishi Sunak, the UK Treasury issued special licences in 2021 to let the oligarch override sanctions and launch an aggressive legal campaign against a journalist in the London courts.”

Hello Mastodon. 👋🏻

Today let's remember that if you believe you can or can't do something, either way you're right.

Believing in yourself is a choice. Regardless if you've had prior experience or not with whatever you're doing.

Self confidence is simply the belief that if you want to, you can. And if you don't, then there's the confidence that you tried and gave it your all.

Believe in yourself. You are an awesome person who has done a lot in their lives.

You got this.

30 years after Nancy Hopkins’ finding of lab space inequity at MIT, this Oceanographic institute finds the same. Times need to be changing faster ☹️

Could every institution please do an analysis proactively?
