Doesn't the best case for cognitive load management also end up arguing for a radical restructuring of the typical 7-8 period HS school day, which seems is perfectly designed to overwhelm w/ task-switching & too much info in STM?

I've sold 55 of these skorts! Thank you so much! I need to sell about 65 of them to make these happen! Please continue to share so I can make these happen. I just need to sell another 10 by July 19th! We're at 85% to my goal! Were so close!! Keep sharing please!
These skorts are now both available for pre-order! Please share! I need to sell 65+ of them so I can make them a reality. We're 1/3 way there. Otherwise I'll have to refund people. They are Skorts (A skirt with shorts underneath) with garter straps to hold the socks up. Which one are you getting?

ICMYI I wrote about the importance of being a citizen archivist. We've seen so much incredible art and writing from marginalized people, and we need to preserve it in the face of a huge, well-funded backlash. This is something concrete you personally can do! buttondown.email/charliejane/...

Dr. Naomi Fisher is well-respected in the neurodiversity movement for her work. She is an ally who helps neurodivergent kids and parents advocate against school-induced anxiety. www.naomifisher.co.uk
Does anyone have suggestions for academics I should speak to for an episode on Jonathan Haidt's "The Anxious Generation"? I'm genuinely trying to figure out what the research says on teens and mental health, so I'd love to hear from a range of experts.

We added quotes from this piece to our glossary page on Long COVID. stimpunks.org/glossary/lon... Featuring the recently released definition of Long COVID from the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). Remember: COVID Is a Mass Disabling Event
“COVID isn’t a respiratory illness; it’s a multi-dimensional threat impacting brain function, attacking almost all of the body’s organs, producing elevated risks of all kinds, weakening our ability to fight off other diseases. Reinfections are produce cumulative risks, and Long COVID is on the rise”

Spoiler alert: there is "current scientific consensus that gender-disaffirming approaches are harmful and gender-affirming approaches are beneficial for trans youth." Julia Serano bringing the receipts with over ONE HUNDRED citations.
given today's news that SCOTUS will take up bans on gender-affirming care for trans youth next session, this piece has everything you need to know about the history & efficacy of this care, & debunks common anti-trans talking points against it: juliaserano.medium.com/gender-affir...

This is why mask bans are suddenly being proposed. If you’re in a place where that’s happening and you think we should prioritize public and personal health and freedom over expanding the powers of the police state then please do let your representatives know why the freedom to mask matters to you
Cops don’t like them; makes it harder to use surveillance footage and facial recognition to arrest people (especially at protests).

Sensory Desensitization should not be a thing. Thing is, Neurotypicals often don't realize that sensory sensitivities can HURT. “Most of the time, it's not just distressing—it's excruciatingly painful. An adult is hurting you, over & over, until you stop reacting." So says @juststimming.bsky.social.

There is no enforcement/monitoring body for the ADA.* It's a complaint-based enforcement system, so in order for things to be made more accessible than the owner feels like making them, someone needs to sue. Every time. And then, y'know, wait several years.
ok i have another quote tweet prompt. what's something, big or small, related to your job or hobby, that most people don't know that you would like to have them know? it can be a concept, a piece of history, some vocabulary, or something else.

Autism Warrior Parents are those who refuse to accept their autistic child’s actual reality and needs, and instead put their energies into absolute change or control of that child. These parents should be countered, not platformed. At TPGA: thinkingautismguide.com/2024/06/how-...
