They yearn for it even today
https://piefed.social/c/historymemes/p/1949620/they-yearn-for-it-even-today
There are things
that I just expect to happen,
and then I hope for a distant future,
so that I won’t have to experience that horror anymore.
But then my children will have to experience it,
and that terrifies and frightens me.
So I hope that no matter what horror comes, I’ll still be there
for them
With all my strength

Reuters: China moves to regulate digital humans, bans addictive services for children. “The Cyberspace Administration of China’s proposed rules would require prominent ‘digital human’ labels on all virtual human content and prohibit digital humans from providing ‘virtual intimate relationships’ to those under 18, according to rules published for public comment until May 6.”

Annual cases of invasive meningococcal disease, a rare but dangerous bacterial infection, have hit the highest level seen in Canada in more than a decade. This rapidly-progressing illness can cause meningitis, sepsis or even death, and children and young adults often bear the brunt.

Digesting Food Studies—Episode 119: Kids’ Lit and Food Insecurity
https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2681139/
Books for kids can be mirrors and windows, reflecting readers’ own lives or opening up onto those of others. When it comes to issues like hunger and poverty, portrayals in children’s literature have lasting effects on our collective understanding.
Alexia Moyer looks back at food insecurity in The Tin Flute (Bonheur d’occasion) by Gabrielle Roy, while Dian Day gazes forward with “Food Insecurity in Books for Children?” (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v11i1.654) AND her own graphic novel (with Amanda White), Shy Cat and the Stuff-the-Bus Challenge.
Then, Ruby Harrington shares her thoughts on Dian’s article and the ways in which hunger and poverty need systemic, concerted attention from academics and governance bodies alike.
