I just did some school supply shopping yesterday; they always have the lists for every local school/grade at the front of the store
a rack of folders color-coded by school district.

why do these books even exist aaaaaaah
On the surface, it may seem harmless for parents to help out. The adults get to enjoy furnishing the space, and kids most likely appreciate the hand. “ Who doesn’t want free, nice stuff?” Ken Ginsburg, a pediatrician and the author of Lighthouse Parenting: Raising Your Child With Loving Guidance for a Lifelong Bond, told me. But too much interference comes with definite downsides. For one, if parents are making the design decisions, young adults can miss out on the opportunity to express themselves, by themselves. Jessica Lahey, the author of The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed, explained to me that “when parents impose their tastes and their wishes” on a room, it can dampen “kids’ yearning to start living their own life.”

finally got some frames for the LIFE magazines I picked up a few months back
two framed vintage LIFE magazines. On the left is a 1940 issue with FDR on the cover, announcing his re-election, on the right is a 1959 issue with Jacqueline Kennedy on the cover and JFK out of focus behind her.

this Newsday article about Hochul’s trip to the White House to defend congestion pricing is pretty funny

www.newsday.com/long-island/...
Hochul held up a glossy book she had made for the meeting that included stats showing the early success of the new tolls. Flipping through its pages like a teacher reading to a classroom, Hochul noted that the book included "big words" and "nice colors" for Trump, along with a photo of an American flag waving in front of Trump Tower beside the message "Together we will ... make New York fast, strong & beautiful."

this was definitely true for my training. Is there a band on the gel in the expected location or not? is the mouse completely missing a certain cell type? the first slide of my phd defense was the antennapedia mutant. no stats needed there!
left image shows a normal wild type fly head. right images shows a gain of function mutation for the antennapedia gene. there are legs growing out of the head in the location where the antennae should be.
