Human Bio teachers everywhere switching up the curriculum today to review correlation vs causation...

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

"Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors."

— Justice Sonia Sotomayor, delivering the unanimous decision of the court in NRA v. Vullo

I work in higher ed and I have to say that the students I work with are rockstars despite the world they have grown up in.

‘Never would have imagined it’: Pennsylvania NPR station set to be first to shutter following Trump’s cuts WPSU, which has been broadcasting out of Penn State since 1953, will shut down following federal cuts to public media organizations

WPSU is set to be the first in the country to go dark after the Trump administration stripped away federal funding for NPR and PBS.

When I find myself on here its a total accident: Discover

Took them 3 days to get there, while it took WSJ no time at all to falsely say TRN means Trans.

"Hagiography" and "Groypers" are two words that I didn't know before this week.

FACT FOCUS: Assassination of Charlie Kirk prompts flood of false and misleading claims online This is false. Utah records say Robinson was registered as a voter, but not affiliated with either political party.

@apnews.com Have seen a lot about the term #groyper in the past couple days on my socials but not in mainstream media, including your feed.

Please cover this.

It’s almost like there’s a pattern we should watch for more carefully.

Is this available elsewhere? I don't have tiktok

Why isn’t every local news broadcast opening with, “What are the ‘Groypers’, and how do you know the signs of your son is part of the deadly gang?”

(whispers): being a spouse / parent does not inherently make you a good person

Check the Republican politician interviewed by Steve Inskeep on NPR yesterday am. Flipped out blaming liberal media after Inskeep said some of Kirks rhetoric was "divisive".

The Trump administration announced plans to roll back protections that had reserved millions of acres of public land for conservation and recreation.

Also immediately after experiencing a potentially traumatic event. Tetris for a similar game should be part of everybody's digital first aid kit

If you see something graphic a thing you can do is not instinctively hit repost but take a few seconds and consider if everyone wants to be traumatized by that and choose not to be the person who forces it into their feed non consensually.

Me to my class before a holiday:

"Have a good long weekend! Don't drink and drive, don't ride with someone who's been drinking!"

Itʻs become my holiday catch phrase & students laugh at me by the end of the semester.

But if one of them, one time, remembers, it's worth it.❤️

Climate change is an urgent but often overlooked education policy issue | Brookings Climate change threatens schools’ stability, but resilient infrastructure and climate education can drive solutions.

I’ve been thinking about how in environments under resource threats like much of education, we move forward to address the most pressing shocks to our system. Climate change is shocking school infrastructure & learning w flooding, fires, smoke, heat.

A friend had today a visa interview at a US embassy overseas. They were told their visa is pending a review of their social media posts. It’s just wild that visas to the USA are now conditional on not saying bad stuff about dear leader

Sleepy today cause I was up late binging this new book by @tkingfisher.com. I'm a huge fan of all her work but this dark (& funny) retelling of Snow White is now solidly among my faves. & audiobook narration is on point!

Go get it, go get it, go!

Just started! Loving it, not least because of things in the first scene that bring to mind our old friends Slate(rosemary)and Grace(workroom).
But it also immediately evident that Anja is unlike either of these women. Thank you for writing such diverse strong female characters. It is a joy to read💗

Very likely going to require that a bunch of adult community college students stand up and sing this on the first day of my science classes next week.
