If this doesn’t turn you on in regards to your wife, divorce her. You don’t deserve her. I have more but I’ll leave it there.

Umm mama bear is pretty amazing though.

A child passing out and them not doing a damn thing about it or stopping to ensure their safety perfectly captures the whole "protect the children" movement.

@HPSupport It’s supposed to look like the right. Which was printed with the other cartridges.

[Larissa Hardesty @lchardesty]

This is a small thing with so much going on in the world, but… I am a teacher who had to source a donated printer for my after school theater program. It’s an HP. It suddenly decided to refuse to work with the generic cartridges I was buying. 1/2

I've been sitting with the news that Scholastic is self-censoring their Book Fairs since Tuesday. On Thursday I was invited to speak at a Scholastic Graphix party, and this is what I said. It's an earnest plea for the company with whom I have made so many books to do better.

@NerdyPam If you’re a white person wanting to question these stats? Just. Don’t.

Florida doubled down on this. We are not allowed to call a student by their preferred name (including nicknames such as “Dan” for “Daniel”) without signed parental consent.

[Gabriel Bosslet @gbosslet]

“Welcome to the first day of school everyone. Let’s do introductions.”

My name is Dan

“Ooh it says here ‘Daniel’”

I go by Dan

“OK I’ll have to call your parents and let them know”

Massively under-reported science story because there's so much going on right now but...it turns out that we might have figured out what's causing this very scary spike.

Quick thread, on how WE'VE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY GEOENGINEERING FOR DECADES...but then we stopped:

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

1. @RonDeSantis just sent a letter to @KamalaHarris requesting a meeting to discuss Florida's new Black history curriculum

DeSantis said he would bring along William Allen, who helped write the curriculum

Who is William Allen?

We took a deep dive

And it's a WILD ride

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

There's been much gaslighting & moderate justifying of the new Florida social studies standards, people stating the "clarifications" were designed to show Black resilience, or were just "facts." So, I thought I'd compare the African-American history standards to the Holocaust's.

[Kurt Eichenwald @kurteichenwald]

Florida wants to teach about "skills" slaves obtained in the antebellum south because "beneficent" slaveholders taught their slaves to read, write, blacksmithing, etc. They say this is supported by "scholars." Well, let's see what the scholars really say.../1
