Lots of things to be despondent about but for me the idea of that women still having to do school pick-up absolutely wrecked me.

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

I have read more upsetting things. But the UCSD report is worth reading, as are the various responses to it. Grade inflation coupled with the end of tests has made a totally foreseeable outcome.
One of the most upsetting articles I've read in a long time www.theargumentmag.com/p/when-grade...
UCSD report senate.ucsd.edu/media/740347...
We are failing a generation of kids.

She’s not wrong.
When we’re born, we have about 300 bones, but over time, we end up with just 206, because many fuse together as we grow.
And here’s a fun fact: Bone is a living tissue that constantly renews itself. Your skeleton is completely new about every 7-10 years.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

CBS went to a military food pantry (those words, in order) to interview moms. 13% of military families rely on SNAP/WIC. When a military spouse of a deployed soldier on enlisted salary was asked if people should be surprised: “No they shouldn’t. We live in poverty just like everybody else.”

NHANES is an invaluable tool that many researchers including myself use to report on conditions in the general population.
Like the fact that ~40% of 12-21yo females are iron deficient.

And so much more important work.
But they’re destroying it all.
