Very cool.
The best part is seeing what happens when you give children a joyful way to start their day. They show up energized, confident, and connected. This is what happens when streets feel welcoming and movement is part of the morning routine. #BikeBus

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

I think this is my best essay on this topic (maybe my best essay). I'd like you to read it, if you haven't.
It also means (@lollardfish.bsky.social has ably written about this) that you as a parent are forced to concentrate on and narrate your child's difficulties just to get them what they need, which is damaging to your child and your relationship with them.

I’m glad we’re keeping the Epstein files at top of BlueSky hive-mind, but the law gives Bondi until December 19th to release them. Yes, she should have released them months ago. But why do so many of you act like you’re surprised she hasn’t released them yet?
