Depressingly one can play White House talking point or Eugenic Society handout pretty easily these days "Every childless home is a blow to the Empire” literally could be something tweeted I swear (shout out to Eugenics Education Society, Pamphlet Series: The Moral Duties of Motherhood from 1923)

Addy was heartbroken this morning that she couldn’t come and feed the ducks and chickens at work. Not sure if she’s going to be a history girl or farm girl 😏

Emeline always had thoughts πŸ˜‚ someday I’d love to write something about feminist perspectives on the Titanic and all the media associated with it.

I didn’t write a top Hetalia fanfic in 2015 to have AI steal it and yet here we are . I can’t imagine what scrapping Ao3 is doing to its algorithm.

My most late 80s/90s child thing is that one time on a family trip there was a fire alarm at the hotel and my sister made my dad go back in to the hotel to get Teddy Ruxpin because it was her best friend

Finalized my summer outfits for Genesee country today. They’re being so kind and helping to do a wrapper dress for mid summer when I’m too pregnant for the usual outfits. Upside I can talk about midwifery and such at that point πŸ’—

I remember this!! The slow slide from eugenics being for β€œinebriate” women early on with Pearson to β€˜glasses bad’. Part of me wonders if it ties back to their use of the army medical grading to say men were unfit πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ I know Huxley and Blacker had thoughts on it

Of course the unschooling sort of homeschoolers are on bsky lol πŸ˜‚ y’all literally advocate for the sort of homeschooling that lends itself to educational neglect

Also! This is being done by a university researcher who while have bias screening πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ the CRHE endorsement is more of a β€œhey this person doesn’t seem explosive and isn’t affiliated with something like HSLDA

Also! How are homeschool graduates in anyway comparable as a whole to a fundamentalist dominionist homeschool legal organization that advocates for no guardrails and that children are the property of their parents?

You literally advocate for a way of schooling that lends itself to educational neglect. Research on homeschooling should be endorsed and aided by people who were homeschooled. CRHE is made up of people that were homeschooled and want it to be better why does that make you mad?

Not sure if there is much of a homeschool community on here but OSU is doing research and needs participants. It’s been vetted by CRHE so other homeschoolers have given it approval as well as the IRB. #homeschooling #homeschooled

She grew up believing she was a U.S. citizen. Then she applied for a passport Among those fearful of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown are adoptees who grew up thinking they were U.S. citizens β€” only to find out years later, in adulthood, they're not.

the fact that lawyers including the one in this article can only recommend staying off the radar is bananas. None of us are safe until all of us are safe. #adoption #deportation

Imagine it being 1921 and you're an MP getting spam from the British Eugenic Society about 'The race that built empire' but wait if you want to know more and advance our cause politically and tax the irish here's a membership form. The confidence of mediocre white men/women never fails
