Fascinating new paper: higher levels of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater correlate with higher health-related absences from work.
"COVID-19 may have created a new year-round baseline for work absences that is similar to influenza season conditions before the pandemic," the authors write.

Well, the list of books being banned from EPSB is appalling. And it's very likely that an author on this list will get their other works pulled too, especially in the absence of teacher librarians.
There are books on this list that changed my life. This is what the UCP is taking away from kids.

this is true. and it's what I think of when I encounter the very few people I know (who I thought I knew), who support this man. 😔
At this point, the only reason left to support a man like this is that he reflects your hateful heart: he shares your contempt of people of color, your hostility toward outsiders, your toxic misogyny, your ignorant bigotry, and your feelings of supremacy.
