The brain dead woman being forced to be an incubator for a fetus is horrifying enough…
But we need to talk about the fact that if the baby survives, they’ll likely have severe disabilities
The government is trying to cut Medicaid for this exact scenario
Force the birth, refuse to insure the child

the U.S. government is targeting legal noncitizen scholars, not on the basis of any wrongdoing, but as part of a larger assault against an educated public.

THIS! Everyone can learn to draw. If you only knew how much I struggle with fine motor control and coordination and yet here I am, drawing.
Drawing, writing, all creative pursuits are SKILLS you can very much learn to do.
At this point anyone who uses genAI is either hateful or lazy or both.

The thing about AI and this mindset that it allows those who “can’t draw” to draw is that is a lie. I taught college level courses on drawing and met multiple students who grew leaps and bounds in their drawing skill sets because they wanted to and took the time to try

The People's Union USA is calling for a 24-hour #economicblackout. Don't spend money, if you can. If you need to make purchases, only shop with local or small businesses.

So I found out that almost all of the books being banned in my local school district are because of two overzealous moms. Okay, if you don’t want your kids reading certain books, then you can (try to) control that. But you don’t get to decide what other people’s kids read.

If you know of someone with a recently launched #KidLit book or one that's launching in the next few wks, pls ask them to keep an eye on my #KidLitLaunches threads & post their book info?
I'm going to keep doing these for another few weeks but if they don't seem to be useful, I'll probably stop. 😁
