Maya's death is activating legislators in New Jersey, a state with zero homeschool oversight. Anti-regulation groups are saying Maya was not truly homeschooled - but in a state like New Jersey, where there's no notification to homeschool, the only measurement we have is policy that left her behind.

nj.comWhy didn’t school officials check on this N.J. 9-year-old before her death? Here are the rules.The 9-year-old's death is reigniting a debate over whether New Jersey's home-school laws put children at risk.

Parents make a calculated decision on what they think will be best for the children and often enough it was the wrong calculation. You shouldn’t feel shitty about it. The opposite is paralysis and sticking something out because even just questioning your decision is an uncomfortable thought

Micah@rincewind.run

and so there’s a part of us that’s sitting there going, well, maybe we should have made a different decision when we were first figuring out schools years ago if we go back we’d probably have made the same one but if we knew what we know now we wouldn’t have it’s a shitty feeling

a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever

Hello fellow legal experts. Happening now in Richmond, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger announces an executive order against data centers that includes banning NDAs and ending fast tracking permits that has helped the data industry thrive.

with all the bad news for trans rights recently I think it’s important to highlight some good news good for governor spanberger

Transgender World@transgenderreport.com

Governor Abigail Spanberger quietly ended a rulemaking process initiated in the waning days of former-governor Glenn Youngkin’s administration. The rule would have limited transgender students' ability to play sports and use facilities. www.wvtf.org/news/20... #transgender

There is a corner of the internet I had never heard of before I started reporting this story. It’s called the “burnerverse”: a network of anon burner accounts ostensibly discussing college sports. But they have another goal: destroying young girls’ lives.🧵: www.wired.com/story/burner...

This is how you are conditioned to think in Evangelical homeschooling: you are convinced that your unorthodox education is exceptional and enviable, and you are better than peers. Meanwhile you are actually getting a subpar education on top of the isolation, indoctrination, and often abuse...

Alpha School students often compare their experiences and academic achievement to what they call “normal school.” Here are some of their statements.

I get where the author is coming from but what the fuck is this? Yeah it’s called get a warrant; companies not freely handing over customer data to police shouldn’t be used as points against them

Not saying they are correct, but I think they view it as a derivative of the Mutually Assured Destruction doctrine i.e. it’s going to be done by somebody so if I do it better than everyone else I can control it and keep da bad guys in check

Ok have there been any quantitative counts of food outbreaks under Trump 2.0 compared to the past? I really want to know if this is amplification bias or it really is just that on the nose

John Scalzi@scalzi.com

Turns out you really do need food inspectors after all

Going to start giving clinics to men to fix their dating profiles

Homeschooler (pejorative)@tonydelvecchio.me

Zero tolerance for able-bodied men of moderate+ means complaining about modern dating. Your profile just sucks. You have no skills or interests or passions. You don’t try; at least not without whinging the entire time. You don’t like yourself and women can tell. You probably shouldn’t honestly

big change to my material conditions: I am a bike commuter now. I will be updating my transportation opinions dialectically (I am already 27% more opinionated about bike lanes and our school crossing guard comrades)

What if my wife is going into labor and her boyfriend the ICE agent is chasing us and we have to race to the Canadian border so she can get an abortion

The Recurring Speed Camera Discourse is a bit exasperating really because, look, we all know what's actually happening is people just want to be able to commit the pertinent crimes and don't like being punished for it, but people come up with obvious post-hoc pseudo-woke rationalisations for this.

I don’t know this is necessarily wrong, but to be true it requires extremely intentional system design to make abuse technically insurmountable. I’d rather fight for taking streets back from cars than putting cameras up everywhere (though I’ll take the cameras in the meantime)
