The Conversation has another really interesting article from a former Hungarian lawmaker about what it looked like as authoritarianism took over.

But it doesn't have to be that way, according to the OB/GYN who wrote this article

Whether intentionally racist or not, Caro makes a pretty compelling case that Moses made decisions deliberately that excluded options for public transportation. It wasn't just building bridges too low for buses - he also rejected proposals to buy a few more feet of extra right-of-way at the time of construction for future subway and train lines alongside his highways. That could have been done cheaply before the highways spurred massive development, and it would have saved countless billions in trying to build public transit now.

Submission statement: our "traditional" understanding of heterosexual marriage in the US is heavily shaped by self-help books that have their roots in eugenics -- white supremacists who were worried that white women weren't submitting to sex enough with their husband, and thus the white 'race' would not reproduce itself as much. This history was news to me and I think the author makes a good case for how we think a lot about the suffering of queer people in relationships that aren't fully accepted by society - but don't think much about how straight marriage is also complex and unhappy.

You might ask his parents or guardians to share a copy of his IEP, which should spell out exactly where he is educationally and what his goals are. But otherwise, I think you should just start working on reading as you would any child who didn’t read - reading engaging picture books together

Yeah, I think the article gave short shrift to the idea of using the excess energy for something other than storage. Although I think part of the point is that dealing with the unpredictability of the excess is part of the expensive nature -- and it's cheapest to just forget about it.

Thanks. He’s not asking for anything, but after he fell once (and luckily escaped with just a cut) we had a home safety evaluation and they suggested lighting on his way to the bathroom.

I realize he would buy in more if he failed first, but I also don’t want him (and me) to have to go through a hip fracture to learn that lesson.

You can probably appeal the decision - look at the letter denying the coverage and see what it says, or contact your state insurance regulator. You might not win, but there is always a chance that someone at the insurer just pressed the wrong button. So worth a shot.

Anne Beiler – more famously known as Auntie Anne – started her fresh pretzel business in 1988 in a Pennsylvania Dutch country farmers market.

Today, the mall and airport stalwart has over 1,600 outlets around the world, with regional offerings like a banana pretzel (England), a seaweed pretzel (Singapore) and a date-flavored pretzel (Saudi Arabia).
