What's the rewrite speed like? I'm ready for data crystals
I've always known and used them interchangeably, my health teacher had to update the ancient health textbooks through her lectures. This meant that when it came to the sex ed portion, we stopped using the 40 year old textbook almost entirely and used a modern bookless curriculum.
I suppose that's a matter of perspective. Using inches for measurement and a total ignorance of sex education screams US to me

I highly recommend the online book How to Think Like a Computer Scientist.
Fun fact, the person maintaining this book is professor emeritus from my college and received multiple awards of recognition from the IEEE
I like to find news sources that analyze the story as well as explains where it fits into the ongoing situation, why it's relevant, and has a reasonably accurate history of predictions based on their analysis. Since this is rare, I try to find a source that has 3 of the 4 to make it part of my news consumption. So this tends to include Democracy Now!, Some More News, Last Week Tonight, Beau of the Fifth Column, AP, and the like. A lot of the sources shared on lemmy, bar the NYT, are in that category
Once again the Israeli army attacks a school in Gaza. 18 dead from refugees and UNRWA officials. Murderers,” said Boric on X. “There is no justification for this barbarity. From Chile, we support UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres in his call for a ceasefire.
Chile president attacked by ~~Jewish community~~ zionists for calling Israeli army ‘murderers’
I get it, capitalism fucking sucks. We're talking coping mechanisms for taking breaks from the struggle though, and I'm just describing what works for me. There's no guarantee that the things that work for me will work for everyone. I just think people work too much and should take breaks whenever they're able.
The NEA is peak business union. There are movements to democratize the union though. It's happening in most unions lately
One of my tricks to extend vacation time on a PTO budget is to alternate the days between paid and unpaid, usually 3 days a week instead of the typical 5. 2 weeks can get extended to at least 3 by alternating. My approach is a hold over from working retail, where we had no PTO. The idea is that I wouldn't be getting paid anyways, so I shore up the budget before vacation so the shortfall payday doesn't create too much disruption

Taken from a Press Release by the group:
LONDON, 1 July 2024—Two young trans activists scaled the NHS England’s London headquarters at 133–135 Waterloo Road in London on Friday to stage a protest and have remained there ever since. The group, now made up of seven young protesters, all 18 or under, has one simple message: Trans Kids Deserve Better: we are not pawns for your politics.
The powerful direct action has been organised by the “Trans Kids Deserve Better” network, which is calling for: access to gender affirming healthcare for trans children and young people, protection from discrimination and disrespect in their daily lives and the right to be heard in all decisions that affect them.
Their protest comes in the wake of the government using emergency powers to ban all access to puberty blockers in the UK, a move that was supported by Labour’s Wes Streeting, likely to be the next Secretary of State for Health. It also comes in the context of a General Election campaign where trans people and trans youth have been used as ‘culture war’ talking points, but not allowed to speak for themselves.
“We are staging this protest to remind politicians and voters that we’re real kids, not just political talking points. We may not have a vote, but it is our lives that are at stake,” said one of the activists staging the protest. “Gender-affirming healthcare is a matter of life and death for us, and we hope that our actions will bring awareness to this fact and encourage others to fight for the healthcare and dignity that we are so shamefully denied.”
