What just kills me about every one of these stories is how self-inflicted the damage is. Every one of our states can easily afford an excellent public university system, and across the board (albeit to different degrees) they just don’t want to.

In college, very cold night, thin coatings of ice all over. Stepped out onto a gently sloped sidewalk and did a cartoon-esque fall straight onto my ass and back, feet in the air. Guy coming out behind me goes "oh god, are you okay?" Comes over to check on me and immediately does the EXACT SAME FALL

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.

He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.

Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Wrt my last little thread: yeah also this is true like they're not unrelated issues but. Good reading skills do not moral integrity make

mentioned in the article from that thread. I always wondered why some people, when they read out loud, sound like they can parse some chunks ultra-fast and then get stuck on single words, sometimes simple ones. It turns out: it's because they were literally taught to read like that! Mind boggling.

to one another, taking a chapter each in turns. I learned to parse whole sentences quickly, but also, because my dad was there, never had to skip over words I didn't know: I could just ask him what they meant. It sounds like this was a combination of the "phonics" and "whole-word" approaches >

I was taught to read by reading with my parents. They would read children's books to me and point out the words as they spoke. If I wanted to learn how to spell something, they coached me through sounding it out. Later, after I was old enough to read on my own, my dad and I would read out loud >

This is wild. Check the thread and read that article. I had no idea something like this was going on in elementary schools. My reading was really good as a kid; I was homeschooled (not for religious reasons, though), and my family was full of academics, teachers, and artists. >

I already hate the pressure to be entrepreneurial in my professional life, why in the holy fuck would I want to approach my health that way

A plea for help. 🙏

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

it doesn’t get any clearer that america’s betrothal to fossil fuels is about letting energy companies pick our pockets to prop up their obsolete industry

I've used this airport so many times in my life. It's always pretty relaxed and uneventful. This makes me so sad to hear.

We Have Enough Dead Friends By Lena Oleanderson Come over. The doors are open, my flat's a mess and so is my heart but the doors are always open. Come over. I will make soup, probably from frozen but the important thing is we will both eat. You don't have to be dying, but if you are, or you feel like you are, or if living's been hard, call me, and I will show up. It doesn't have to be that bad, it doesn't have to be bad at all, but if it is, please call. Do you want me to do the groceries? Do you want me to mop the floors? Do you need to be held; you don't have to be dying to be held. If you want me to be there, I want to. I'm on the bathroom floor again, and breathing is hard, and eating's been hard, and sleeping, the world is a laden thing rolling around on my chest lately. Just being alive is heavy tonight, but we have enough dead friends. Come over.

I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson.

I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.

This is why I regularly let people know how awesome I think they are.

We often think that awesome people must naturally know they’re awesome, but they don’t. And letting them know could be the little push that they really needed that day.

i bet a lot of these players have been playing baseball since they were kids. that’s probably a big reason why they’re so good. if you learn this kind of stuff when you’re young it gives you a big head start

Lmao okay updates thanks to @pkirn.bsky.social doing the good work of inquiring with Juilliard, turns out it’s just completely made up and might even be a hallucination of an LLM powered music trade blog?

This is not legal and they do have resources to shift that ensure SNAP benefits are paid. They are choosing to take food away from nearly 42 million Americans, which includes nearly 1 in 4 children.

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

I think putting it in those terms—that the speaker can ‘refuse to allow’ the House to sit—really highlights how ridiculous the unilateral adjournment/recess authorities are.

honestly amazing how much damage, violence, and sustained mistreatment the world can endure without in any way dimming its inexhaustible impulse towards repair. To quote George Eliot, these things are a parable

the reaping remains less fun than the sowing!
