Yale researchers asked teachers to look at a video of pre schoolers and click when they saw misbehavior.
There was no misbehavior. It was actually an eye tracking study to see who they watched most.
White and Black teachers spent SIGNIFICANTLY more time watching the Black boy

HHS needed to propose updated HIPAA regulations to prohibit the release of reproductive health information to any law enforcement officer the day the Dobbs decision leaked. Every day they continue not to do so is a travesty.

As a blind person QR code menus have made my life 1000% easier. Please, please keep them as an accessibility option even if you return to having paper menus. I can actually read menus now.

Our boldest comics have NO FEAR of getting cancelled for saying something non-PC but somehow have TOTAL FEAR of saying "you should stop dating 16 year olds" or "you should not masturbate in front of our colleagues" to their dear friends and associates.

“The backpack has become a symbol of Gaza during wartime. It will usually hold your passport, university degree, insurance. The backpack is what helps you build your new identity after the war planes destroy your home. It becomes a part of who you are.” 972mag.com/gaza-war-rituals-…

With all the talk about Arshad Nadeem, it is the perfect time for me to tell you there was a time when wrestlers in what is today the northwest of Pakistan used to use weights with Hercules and the Nemean Lion etched on them.

If you support Israel, this is what you're doing.
If you're silent because you're a coward, this is what you're contributing to.
This is the morning after. This is what Palestinians are waking up to today. A traumatised people, forced to wake up, to live another day. Forced to carry on, as if nothing had changed.
Meanwhile, the Israelis celebrate, dance, and party on, as our wounded souls crash and crumble

Zainab Al Kolak, who lost 22 family members last year, on the latest Israeli bombing. “No one can feel what I feel when the earth shakes shakes again from beneath. I still experience the same horrible emotions. My nightmares are still a reality.”
محدش قادر يحس بشعوري والأرض رجعت تنهز من تحتي، لسه برجع أعيش نفس المشاعر التعيسة، لسه كوابيسي واقع.
مراراً وتكراراً الله يلعنكم.

“We urge all sides for calm while sending billions of dollars in weapons every year to one side in order to fund its occupation of the other side.”
The United States firmly believes that Israel has a right to protect itself. We are engaging with different parties and urge all sides for calm.

A child aged 15 in Gaza would have lived through four genocidal wars, this being the fifth, and their entire lives under a deadly blockade. The children of Gaza don’t have PTSD because there’s no “post” trauma, this is their reality 24/7.
