The relative contribution of close-proximity contacts, shared classroom exposure and indoor air quality to respiratory virus transmission in schools - Nature Communications The relative importance of close-proximity interactions, shared space and air quality to the transmission of respiratory viruses is not well understood. Here, the authors investigate this question by ...

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

The Anti-Planner is not an "ADHD Book". It's an Anti-Procrastination Toolbox.

It helps you quickly identify your reasons for not doing a thing and then gives you quirky, fun methods for addressing it. It's well-written, funny, and incredibly easy to implement.

EVERYONE needs this.

it is hard to think of another political figure in my lifetime I have turned on harder than Hillary Clinton. I am exactly the right flavor of Middle Aged White Lady to have been DEEPLY emotionally invested in her way back when, but every time she opens her mouth now Iโ€™m like โ€œholy shit lady ๐Ÿคฏโ€

During promotional visits for her perfume lines, Taylor would quietly visit AIDS hospices. In San Francisco, she asked patients โ€œif she could arrange to have their dogs walked; she asked if she could call their mothers for them or write letters for them.โ€

I got stuck at CDG last March during a missed transit and I took the train to Les Halles just to see this again.

Only 2% of @wikipedia.org users support. I am one. As a professor in 2006, I hated it; thought my students would get wrong info. Instead, I found it a great starting point for them & me, plus *rigorously* corrected. Now itโ€™s one of few places not skewed by misinformation. Low as $2.75 a month. Give!

This is profoundly irresponsible by AGSulzbergerโ€™s NYT, @by-cjewett.bsky.social +eds.

The normalization, โ€œview-from-nowhereโ€, โ€œborn-yesterdayโ€, stenography, โ€œboth-sidesโ€, irresponsible headline are disgraceful.
THE story is the CDC&FDA are being destroyed by antiscience & Americans will die.

Illinois lawmakers urged to โ€˜step upโ€™ and โ€˜fight like hellโ€™ as EPA moves to cut wetlands protections New U.S. EPA rule would strip protections from 72% of the stateโ€™s remaining wetlands, which play a crucial role in mitigating flooding and filtering drinking water.

I'm in the @chicagotribune.com today calling on @govpritzker.illinois.gov to protect the Illinois wetlands that keep floods out of our basements & our water clean.

EPA's new rule would strip the vast majority of Illinois wetlands of Clean Water Act protections.

โ€˜Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.โ€™

We remain steadfast in our demands for freedom:

We demand the immediate release of those detained.
We demand an end to regional ICE activity.
We demand human dignity for all people, without exception.
We demand the right to offer spiritual care to those detained โ€” because even in confinement, every person deserves compassion, prayer, and presence.
God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom.

But seriously folks, these "moderate" evangelicals are the worst enablers of Christofascism and whitewashers of evangelicalism, and the liberal establishment and legacy media just keep painting them as "heroes" for clearing the lowest of low bars

Teen Vogue's Closure and the Quiet Defunding of Worker Consciousness Teen Vogueโ€™s shutdown marks more than a media loss. This is a warning about how profit-driven consolidation quietly dismantles worker awareness and voice.

โ€œSince 2018, labor columnist Kim Kelly brought the labor beat to teenage readers through her โ€œNo Classโ€ column, covering everything from wildcat strikes to general strikes, the Gilded Age labor organizer Mother Jones to contemporary Amazon warehouse conditions.โ€ ๐Ÿ’” thisislaborwise.com/teen-vogues-...

I'm hard-pressed to think of a non-Jewish Democratic politician who has spoken to Jews with more respect and empathy than Mamdani. The fact that many Jewish establishment orgs are going after him while staying relatively mum on resurgent Nazism is a disaster, both for American Jews and in general.

we must frame tonight as a resounding victory โ€” an electoral landslide, a mandate from the universe itself

and as a repudiation of MAGA, of Trump, and of vichy democrats

we must be relentless, we must not shut up

I'm supporting Feeding America! To feed Americaโ€™s hungry through food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger

Got tired of reading the news and getting mad. Feeding America backs 200+ food banks around the country and I've seeded with $500 for now. I'll match up to another $500 myself.

Pass the hat, RTs graciously appreciated, etc.

My online business ethics students are cooking. One of them said of ethics in business "the real question is not whether business ethics "makes sense," but whose sense of ethics is being protected or ignored."

Followers, I had to stop and sit with that for a moment. Whose ethics INDEED.
