Yes, government issued photo IDs should be required to register to vote and to vote. Also, the government should provide photo IDs at no-cost, and should provide an online process to apply, similar to a passport, to accommodate those without transportation or working schedules.

When I taught students in the sciences, I often told them to unlearn much of the writing they’d been taught in humanities courses since high school. That style is built to signal erudition - flaunting obscure vocabulary, esoteric Latin phrases, and unusual word orders to make the writer sound impressive. Scientific communication is the opposite. It demands clarity of thought, precision, and rigorous meaning. The two styles couldn’t be more different. Fortunately, smart students usually adapt quickly once they realize that good science writing is about being understood, not performing sophistication.

It’s even worse. Humanities courses used to teach students to reason, organize thoughts, and write well. Now they teach how to make impenetrable jargon even less comprehensible. Many humanities professors actively resist good writing.

@aliciaandrz I sometimes wonder if people remember that academics are evaluated in writing by 18-22 year olds at least twice a year forever. Nothing you can say I haven’t heard and heard meaner.

If anyone is pregnant and planning on cloth diapering for the first time, I just want you to know that you do not *need* 300 diapers and an elaborate wash routine. I have 24 pockets, and I simply throw them in the wash everyday with free & clear detergent like everything else.

@emilykmay -24 here. 6:30 and just got in from watering animals. But the thing people really underestimate about farm life is how much time you spend driving. Sure it may look idyllic that I’m baking bread, but less so when you realize the alternative is driving 1.5 hr round trip to shop.

@CartoonsHateHer The strangest part of this ridiculous story for me is that it happened in a small town. In my small town (pop. 900) you’d be like, “oh, that’s just little so-and-so, I have 8 of his immediate family members on speed dial, I’ll just give them a call.”

@MamaWeasleyy Ginger. But I think only because I was pro loud prints and anti pants. Now in my 40s, I still like loud prints, but I’ve become more resigned to the practicality of pants.

5 years ago, on the heels of 28andMe, our team designed a new precision imaging experiment: scanning an individual’s brain throughout her entire pregnancy. We are excited to share that these findings are out today in @NatureNeuro! nature.com/articles/s4159…
