MAGA wants teen births. It won't work Teen birth rates are at historic lows — and young women want to keep it that way

Republicans are getting more brazen — in rhetoric and policy — in pushing teenage girls to give birth.

The good news is that it won't work. Girls aren't going to fall for it.

An analysis.

Climbing toward the stars, little buddy.

There used to be (approx 2010) a halfway house there as well, on the North side of Oak Springs (close by to the Lone Star clinic these days).

Cool to learn about the actual waters and Hogg’s connections. 🤘

Sigh. (As we re-gird our loins and take up justice to resist once more)

The fact of the matter is that your racist uncle who hates Woke Studies ever since he heard about it on the drive back from the supermarket and the governing board that oversees your research institution are converging, and the results are exactly as monstrous and as stupid as you would have guessed

Deep chuckles. Way down in the diaphragm.

Officially out today! Long-running project, many thanks to give - in particular to my mentors & collaborators, the postbacs who worked so hard on each experiment, and the reviewers. If you love the amygdala, give it a read.

Sadistic #objectification of children: a hallmark behavior of #patriarchal systems.

#Exploitation and #domination combine to create closed #abusive systems with no limitations in those in power.

Nearly 80 students forced into 400+ push-ups at school, many diagnosed with permanent kidney damage, lawsuit says A dozen families in Texas filed a lawsuit against a charter school after nearly 20 students suffered potentially life-threatening injuries in February.

No accountability for private schools yet they NOW receive state of texas $ #txlege

I’d work for that policy! Quarterly check-ins and then referrals for all who request help.

Like the Cat Distribution System but for mental health professionals

Baryshnikov mustang!

Grotesque: In a dispute over a will, two brothers including a retired Alabama state trooper now working at a federal courthouse, appear to have gotten their mother-in-law arrested by ICE.
Using the state to remove disfavored family members is the sort of thing that happens in totalitarian regimes.

Whew….. #CelesteDavis #Patriarchy #rapeculture

Objection: The Online Rape Academy CNN spent months inside a hidden online world where men teach each other how to drug and rape their partners. The website at the center of it had 62 million visitors last month.

A website with 62 million monthly visitors is hosting 20,000+ videos of women being assaulted in their sleep. It's completely legal. I broke down how—and what accountability would actually look like.

How Selena Called Me Home to Texas Growing up Black in a predominantly white city of less than 70,000 people, what Selena meant to me took years to understand.

Spent some hours illustrating Selena in honor of Selena Day on April 16. I wanted to do something special for this essay because it’s our social media manager @candibolden.bsky.social’s first byline, and I think it’s really lovely.

Bug eyed at the world! #cats #catsofBluesky

I’ll sit here and blather with you, gasbaggin away. Abortion is my FAVORITE topic.

#pickme

Good god, friend! Go make the world better with that wicked skill. Damn!

Stirrup pants….

I hope you realize that your account is one of the consistent pleasures on Bluesky. Details of a real life, real time, real place and it makes the whole app feel more lovely.

AI Use Appears to Have a "Boiling Frog" Effect on Human Cognition, New Study Warns A new study claims to offer the first causal link between AI dependency and cognitive erosion. Researchers warn of long-term implications.

NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty.

"People’s persistence drops... they’re also not willing to try without AI.”

They’re Not Bigots. They Just Think, Talk, and Act Like They Are. The House GOP’s “Sharia-Free America Caucus” is an un-American fraud.

"Among white evangelicals, 81 percent said the United States should be a Christian nation, and 65 percent said the Bible should override the people’s will." These folks have nothing to say about *that.*

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States.

Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay.

Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.
