Raised Baptist in a Republican family, an Arkansas mother feared her hospital would let her die as she experienced a miscarriage, rather than provide her care under the state's strict abortion ban. She came to learn the law applies to anyone losing a baby. https://t.co/vfmqTMBg5G

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

@DavidAFrench I could not agree more! I taught K my first year of teaching in 1981 and almost lost my job because I refused to participate. Instead, I invited all of the families to come for a celebration, where the students sang their favorite songs and shared their favorite stories about K.

Love this!
BTW, my dad ran a diaper service for 40+years and used to tell the diaper story all the time. Such a great analogy for life!

In the 1950s, over 90% of toddlers were potty trained by 18 months.
Today, that number is about 4%.

Disposable diapers block signals that help us learn

This isn't about potty training. We block signals with comfort everywhere and it impacts our mental health: https://t.co/yniuKp6Mup

@howie_hua 50 + 26. Add 2, subtract 2. I picked 50 because it’s a benchmark number.
