Putting a baby in a freezer would kill it, but freezing embryos keeps them alive. That's why an embryo isn't a baby. Hope that helps if you're very stupid <3
When people in 2021 and 2022 were demanding indictments now, I warned people that indictments are the beginning of a long harrowing process.
That is where we are now. It will never end.
People told me "once there are indictments I'll be happy because I'll know the DOJ is actually doing something."
I said, "No you won't be happy." It will be nerve wracking.
The reason: even a criminal conviction will not save democracy from the threat Trump poses.

Go @MichaelEMann !
βMichael Mann, a prominent climate scientist, won his long-standing legal battle against two right-wing bloggers who claimed that he manipulated data in his research and compared him to convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky, a major victory for the outspoken researcher.β
Still, thereβs a real tension here: it is my job as an educator both to make students β’comfortableβ’ and to make students β’uncomfortableβ’. And by meaning too many different things at once, that word β βcomfortableβ β complicates the job.
Instead, try breaking comfort/discomfort along different axes:
- seen / unseen
- valued / unvaled
- safe / unsafe
- unchallenged / challenged
- unfrustrated / frustrated
etc.
Doesnβt that make the problem clearer?

The #Biden admin is canceling $5 billion in #debt for 74,000 borrowers.
President Biden said 44,000 approved borrowers were having their debt wiped clean after 10 years of public service β including teachers, nurses and firefighters.
Nearly 30,000 borrowers have worked toward repayment for at least 20 years but "never got the relief they earned through income-driven repayment plans."
