By @houstonchronicle.com columnist Lisa Falkenberg: "Books — actual books, with dust jackets, spines, whimsical illustrations, and characters and cliffhangers — are increasingly unwelcome in the land of worksheets and slide shows." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
Falkenberg: Mike Miles takes story books from HISD kindergarteners
First HISD took the libraries. Now teachers say the district’s curriculum leaves no room for storybooks and some are secretly reading to students anyway.

This tragic but excellent article needs to be read by everyone throughout the country. The Republicans want to kill public ed. They are using state takeovers and charter school owning charlatans like Mike Miles (and his abusive NES) to do it. See at what they are stealing from our (soon your) kids!🧵

Alrighty... anyone got a suggestion on where to get a miniature sculpture/recreation of king tut's funerary mask for a budding (he's 7) egyptologist obsessed with king tut? Oldest saw one at the museum store but it was like 90 bucks for plastic and... oooof.

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

It takes 225 million years or so for the Solar System to make one orbit around the galaxy. Sharks evolved long enough ago that they’ve done it twice.

Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" has Prince Phillip meet Aurora when she is a baby and he is, what, like 8? Aurora and Phillip "fall in love" when she is *just* 16 and he is ~24. This is all seen as honkey-dorey fabulous fantasy. Millions and millions of parents let their kids watch this uncritically
I feel like maybe it’s a function of everyone online being born in 2002 but I don’t think most people realize how openly and explicitly pedophilic american culture was until like… maybe 10 years ago

I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.
Following the recent election, leadership will be changing in many districts where conservative values previously dominated school board meetings and community actions.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.
