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?

Are you a cat or dog person?

I'm very curious to know which way Mastodon leans!

Thanks for sharing ✨

Mitt Romney: “I don’t know that I can disrespect someone more than J. D. Vance.”

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.

Ah... that quiet couldn't last forever. #tropics #TropicalWx

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.

Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka on Kamala Harris: "She's a DEI hire, right? She's a woman. She's colored."

Trump and #Project2025 don't want to take America back to the 1950s. They never left.

We’re not going back!

JD Vance has been in the national spotlight for less than a week and he’s already repulsed half the country.

Bravo, Republicans.

Bravo.
