i feel like every few months there's a new bombshell study that's like "yeah, plant based protein powder, especially chocolate-flavored, have A Lot of lead in them"

paris martineau @paris.nyc · 1d

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Too many people view reading as “something you do” rather than “a skill that can be developed.”

If you want to get better at kicking a football, you have to kick a lot of footballs. If you want to get better at reading, you have to read a lot of books.

Also, it’s fun to be good at things!

In Petronius’ Satyricon, the host of a dinner party brings out a small skeleton with moveable...🧵1/2

I made it worse

The "moe" meme, with Bright and now Char iterations. Origin Bright is "Boke (comparatively)" ZZ Bright is "Tsukkomi" 79 Bright is "Moe through helplessness" and CCA Bright is "Seemingly 'perfect' at first glance." 79 Char is "Boke (comparatively)" Origin Char is "Tsukkomi" CCA Char is "Moe through helplessness" and Quattro is "Seemingly 'perfect' at first glance."

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.
