This is one of the major supporting ideas of the ‘don’t say gay’ bill, and it is pushed through photoshopped images like this. Is there a way to stop the spread of misleading propaganda? #mchslang23

[Taylor S @disar__ray]

I thought this was satire at first, but after looking at the account that posted it, I realized it was 100% serious. Misinformation is dangerous in its ability to influence the public, and it is widely spread through propaganda like this. (1/2)

[Taylor S @disar__ray]

The ‘don’t say gay’ bill prevents schools from assigning stories about LGBTQ relationships, because children are ‘too young’ to be taught about it. Following this logic, they should also ban ones referencing straight relationships. Children are too young to see that! #mchslang23

"If a teacher can’t assign a story about a young girl who comes home after school to her two mommies, that teacher also can’t assign a book about a young girl who comes home to her mommy & daddy. Both equally instruct on sexual orientation." #DontSayGay https://t.co/73GPsWOPMQ

@35SaschaB I think drug education is the best solution to combat this problem. There are likely going to be teens who do drugs no matter what, so teaching safety precautions would be a good practice.

@ShrutiP58 While I think the punishment is fair, I don’t see it having a large effect. He’s a rich guy, and I don’t see how a fine of only 10,000 will push him into obeying the order now, especially since he’s been so reluctant.

@a_APstu This wouldn’t be the first time a politician went against their word.

(2/2) The comic pushes the idea that Zelenskyy holds the power to stand against the Russian invasion. He refuses to surrender Ukraine and stubbornly holds up the flag, the symbol of the nation, in the face of danger. #mchslang23

[Taylor S @disar__ray]

This comic from The New Yorker utilizes dim and gloomy colors for its background. The focal point is Zelenskyy, with a large and bright Ukrainian flag. It displays him standing alone, as a beacon of hope, against the shadowy background. (1/2)

@NinjaTornado6 I think successful businesses, especially within fast food, have memorable appearances and slogans. Like the double palm trees at In and Out or McDonald’s “I’m lovin’ it”

(2/2) With todays rising inflation and high gas prices, is now the time to push for this measure? Or is there never really a “right time” for making these kinds of changes? #mchslang23

[Taylor S @disar__ray]

A ballot measure to that would require all single use plastics in California to be “recyclable, reusable, refillable or compostable by 2030” would also increase household costs by 900$ a year. (1/2)

[Los Angeles Times @latimes]

Piles of single-use plastics that can’t easily be recycled, pollute roadsides and waterways and add to the garbage that clogs landfills.

In November, Californians may get a chance to shrink that waste.

2/2 Do you think the negative image surrounding psychedelics will prevent this discovery from gaining traction as a viable medical solution? #mchslang23

[Taylor S @disar__ray]

Psilocybin, a chemical derived from psychedelic mushrooms, was found to have a “liberating” effect on people with severe depression. Brain scans during the study showed that individuals with depression had "cognitive agility" resembling that of healthy brains. 1/2

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The chemical derived from psychedelic mushrooms appeared to have a "liberating" effect on the brains of people with severe depression, the authors of a small study said, helping alleviate symptoms and generating neural responses that lasted for weeks. https://t.co/RLxpCfoXar

This cartoon is pretty lighthearted. But to twist it a little, do you think that procrastination is always negative? Or are there some instances where it is beneficial? ex. procrastinating on homework to spend time with family. #mchslang23

@13colleenm I wonder what the reaction to this study will be. So many people I've talked to have said "Oh well I had Covid once and I was fine", but this proves that there can be severe and lasting consequences.

[Taylor S @disar__ray]

@ninjatornado13 I think some people like to ignore when things like this surface, especially when it doesn't concern them personally.

(2/2) ...LGBTQ youths will become further isolated. Some ban library books, others prevent the formation of LGBTQ focused clubs and classroom discussions. These bills ultimately prevent kids from learning about themselves and their classmates. #mchslang23

[Taylor S @disar__ray]

According to the Trevor Project, "42% of LGBTQ youths seriously considered suicide in the past year". 15 bills that restrict conversations about gender and sexual orientation are being considered in nine states. With the passing of these bills (1/2)

This post uses inflammatory language to convince the readers that those against the "Don't say gay" bill are in the wrong. It labels them as "Monsters" who threaten "OUR children". It paints those who argue against it as the villains. #mchslang23

[Taylor S @disar__ray]

@ninjatornado17 @avgcoffeehouse You'd think that they'd see the pattern by now. With this timing too, many schools are just heading into or coming back from spring break. Tons of people are traveling and likely getting covid. Perfect time to come back to school with no masks!
