Extreme heat is making schools hotter — and learning harder https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/073024_heat_schools/extreme-heat-making-schools-hotter-and-learning-harder/
Children have a harder time thermo-regulating and take longer to produce sweat, making them more vulnerable than adults to heat exhaustion and illness, and now the effect extreme heat is having on schools and child care is starting to get the attention of policymakers and researchers.

Iowa is the latest to ban abortion > "six weeks"
In fact: "six weeks since last menstrual period ended". Ovulation only happens 7-10 days later.
"Six weeks" is just enough time to be "a bit late" … if one's cycle is regular, but most are not.
Things that can delay the cycle include:*
▪ exercise
▪ travel across time zones
▪ stress
So it's effectively a 0-to-4-week abortion ban.
Or, a Total Abortion Ban, for short. 😭
Perhaps the women in M∆G∆'s ideal world never deal with these?
Trump's statements about ending elections could disappear down the memory hole, buried by his next nonsensical boast or outrageous lie. Don’t move on. Don’t let this go. Or Project 2025 either.

@littlemiao I need to see if my brother carries those!
@littlemiao So what brand is it?
@SrRochardBunson First Christians appropriated the Passover Seder and now they want to use it to justify being angry. 🤷♀️@tofugolem@mastodon.social

@jojo.fromjerz That is correct. They have learned nothing. @dogzilla

Alabama’s bass-ackward politicians are always a step ahead of America’s demise. Leading the way backwards is what we do here in this environmentally beautiful, absolutely friendly but politically oppressive deep red state.

According to #JDVance, people who have #biologicalChildren should have greater #votingPower than people who don't. Would the votes of parents of biological children count doubly? Or would those of us without children count as 3/5ths? Whatever the hell this guy is thinking is both insane, and practically unworkable. So, why did he say it? It's 100% virtue signaling, and promoting the "#traditionalFamily" fetish that thrives in the #GOP.
