my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

Dangerous heat is possible this weekend. We could tie the record high of 95° in the Twin Cities! It will feel like 100°+ Saturday and Sunday. You might feel it more because it's the first REALLY hot and humid days of the season. Plan ahead. Don't do anything too tough outside. And HYDRATE!

A wave of legislation and executive actions have targeted transgender people, particularly teens, by stripping away gender-affirming care and other essential rights, but intersex people and anyone who doesn’t conform to strict sex binaries also stand to lose something as a result.

The government wants to know what you’re posting, because if you’re politically active that might not be okay with the people in charge, so you’re going to get all the red tape. That’s just President Trump’s American Freedom* way! *some exclusions may apply.

A new bipartisan Senate bill could strengthen worker protections by reining in non-compete agreements. Here's how non-compete clauses trap workers in jobs and make it harder for them to get better pay. https://youtu.be/xtKoXuRxNI8?si=CZVcORL62lE5Jf25

Reporting on this story was interesting because it forced me to check my own biases. I'm as anti-gun as they come, but my personal feelings couldn't get in the way of accurately sharing the facts. There's a story to be written about the morality of guns at protests, but this isn't that story.

This is such a great point and isn’t made enough! We have a trans daughter but a mostly conservative extended family (and in-laws, to some degree), the exact people you’d expect would be awful on this issue. They have not been! I was prepared to do battle but we’ve been so happily surprised.

People have this weird tendency to assume that anything awful that happened before their own time wouldn't have happened if people had just realized what was going on and protested against it, and as an elderly person, I'm here to tell you, we extremely did. We just lost.

"In these situations, one expects to hear that the shooter was in the midst of a psychotic episode." Instead, he was a seemingly functional, deeply religious family man. That is terrifying.

For those who don't know the code: a lot of Black men have curlier facial hair that gets ingrown easier, so they get a doctor's note so they don't have to shave every day. When a white guy complains about grooming standards, he means there are too many Black men in the military.

The NYT is still depending on you to engage in laundering anti-trans info. They just released a podcast about the fight for trans healthcare in Missouri that depends on you to believe there is some big debate, not a bunch of kids and doctors versus zealots.

As infuriating as the conservative SCOTUS is, never forget that America’s genocide against its trans population is the child of “moderate” liberal outlets like the Atlantic and the New York Times, and especially Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog, who made healthy careers out of polishing bigotry.

It's infuriating how 99% of the coverage of this new war doesn't bother to mention that it is happening because we had an agreement to limit and monitor Iran's nuclear program, which even Trump's own aides said was working, and he blew it up because it was negotiated under Obama.

If we don't want to repeat history, we'd better be strong enough to learn from it. The authoritarian playbook starts with pointing to a group of people who don’t look like you and blaming them for your problems. When those issues are still there, what comes next?
