My Junior Girl Scout troop had great time at Ms. Moxie's Moon Shop yesterday. A factual, down to earth, fun explanation of anatomy and period options with hands on experience with absorbency! A lot of the adults learned too. Highly recommend!

Who cares about the workers whose bodies are destroyed because of the work they do....... They should push past the pain (not like they can afford healthcare anyway) and then die still working. Otherwise they are useless to our capitalist system.

Apparently preschool is only for childcare, not education. And this list misses a huge number of schools (especially part time programs or those like Child and Family Network Centers).

I was carded for the first time today in eons.... I was stuck between odd feeling of, really? I'm old! And huh, I look young?!? She did not card @byronpeebles.com because he has a beard. (Reminds me of when my oldest kid's two genders were "beard" and "no beard" based on their lived experience.)

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

It was great time. Lots of happy folks. Definitely noticed a shift towards families (vs young adults) from last year. And the grass made it less accessible. (One person with a cane that didn't attempt it and a wheelchair struggled, even though it was motorized with good wheels for it.)

Happy Loving Day, Alexandria. Alexandria played a small part in one of the most significant civil rights rulings in American history, Loving v. Virginia. Visit the historic marker at the corner of Pitt and King St. in Old Town to remember that love wins 💕
A black and white photo of two smiling individuals, Mildred and Richard Loving, is overlaid with text and a blue emblem. The text reads "June 12 is Loving Day" with additional historical context about the Lovings' legal battle for interracial marriage rights.A historical photograph depicts a family sitting on the steps of a porch. Two adults and three children appear together. The accompanying text describes June 12, 1967, when Mildred and Richard Loving received news that the Supreme Court ruled in their favor, impacting their lives and the country.The image features text discussing the landmark decision in Loving v. Virginia, which struck down Virginia's ban on interracial marriage, citing a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. It highlights that their victory is a reminder that love knows no boundaries, and all love is welcome in Alexandria.A historic marker stands on the sidewalk with tree-lined buildings in the background. The marker honors the Loving's legacy, located at Pitt and King streets in Old Town.

Older Child has a school project that requires them to "raise awareness" of an issue by publishing a webpage. The teacher is going to want to see some web analytics showing that people visited the page. So I'm asking you to do me a favor and go visit the page: jpyuda.github.io/ap-hug/ Thank you!

Since we are talking about a particular local news org today.... Did you know they will just refuse to write a story because it is "too sad"? Like they are so committed to their bit that they will just say no to stories, even if it needs to be told.

My chocolate chip cookies are the recipe on the Nestle bag (I come from the home of them). My coconut macaroons come from the back of the package of coconut. My cranberry sauce is the one from the Ocean Spray package. Our favorite pancake recipe comes from the back of an old Trader's Joe flour.

Texas Tech is starting to reveal which texts are banned under its new prohibition against "Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity" research. Among them are six books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Galatians. 🧵 of other banned works. Yes, this is real.
