So this new law is effective immediately, correct? How long on average do these types of laws take to be stricken down by the courts? Obligatory fuck Alabama. From what I am reading it doesn't go into effect for 6 months. I think the ACLU could apply for an emergency stay, right?

Need and Guts shared a link to the LA Times story about the continuing decline of birth rates in the US. The demographers they interviewed were rage inducing. All those empty kindergarten rooms?! Not in our area. And let’s talk about the scarcity of quality child care and the ability to afford it. And the climate crisis. I can’t with this dude.

I have lost all faith in humanity. My daughter brought home a library book from school about the Holocaust (Angel Girl) and someone wrote the words "not a true story" on the inside cover.

I am just full of so much rage over these abortion laws. I read the actual Alabama bill and was actually surprised to see that it says its legal if there is a extreme medical risk to the mother, and that includes suicidal ideation/risk of harming the newborn, but not regular old fashion depression/mental health issues. (from my layperson understanding)

Sadly, the note about not a true story is absolutely correct. It's not that the Holocaust was not true, but the memoir itself (both the adult book and the children's book Angel Girl), was fake. I'd maybe ask the librarian to make the note a little clearer. As a fiction story, it's a good read - but it should have been clear on publication that the memoir itself is fiction. www.nytimes.com/2008/12/29/books/29hoax.html

PDQ My friends up in MA had a school delay this morning because of a bear sighting (I guess a lot of kids walk to school and it was an abundance of caution). Fucking Betsy DeVos was right

This gave me a much-needed laugh this morning. Fucking Betsy. I recently had a bear sighting in my own backyard and I'm still a bit freaked out by it, so I don't blame them for delaying.
