Last week, I had: - 3 union meetings - 2 appts - a weekend conference - a 20min "lockdown" the cops called in when they meant "lockout/secure" - a kid ate peanuts while allergic. no allergy in sub notes. - kids looking at lingerie on Google Images. Begging for a less eventful week.

It should be scaring more people how ‘AI’ is being used to displace, avoid, and control actual living human beings but for some reason some of us seem more fascinated by the conveniences and novelties of it all, like magpies with shiny baubles

Don't get me wrong, I believe in dealing with things at the lowest possible level, but at some point we need to be done talking in circles and do something. Lots of teachers are scared to escalate, add pressure, or get in trouble, so I try to add tools to our collective toolboxes to get shit done.

always funny when someone in our teachers union meetings argues against direct/collective action bc it's "too risky" and encourages us to stick to labor organizing and elections and those of us who are active in community and political organizing who do all of the above just stare at each other

Public opinion doesn't DO anything and is not correlated with policy. BUT it can be a resource if people want to organize.

“At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care.” H/t @ameshaa.bsky.social
nbcnews.com
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

ICE has abducted Senegalese WBB player Aminata Seck and won't release her. DHS 'policy' is to provide medical care to prisoners at intake, yet they admit to denying her care for an ACL injury for 1.5 months. The NCAA is letting it happen, despite its predatory recruitment of ICAs. We explain.

ICE has abducted a college athlete. What are the NCAA and universities going to do about it?
Aminata Seck’s detention shows the bargain facing international college athletes: universities eagerly recruit them, but support can disappear when their immigration status becomes precarious.

Kids keep asking why I wear a mask and I have started asking "Do you know what the immune system is?" They are <10yo, so no. Then I get to tell them how everyone has a system in their body that fights bacteria & viruses, and mine doesn't work so good. It's always a great learning moment.

There is no cure for measles, and no vitamin or supplement that prevents measles or its complications. >90% of unvaccinated individuals who come into contact with a measles-infected person will contract measles. The recommended 2-dose MMR vaccine is 99% effective in preventing measles infection.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.
Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners
- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative
sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

MMR is 97% effective. BUT: - Some may not mount a robust enough immune response to vax for a variety of reasons - Protection CAN wane if there's been a major immune disruption, though this is rare - Most pertinent: intense, prolonged exposure to someone with measles can supersede protection
