- Reposted by AilbheYou’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

- Reposted by Ailbhethese awful people believe a child can be groomed & married at her parents’ will, but cannot initiate a divorce; a child is mature enough to be forced to carry a pregnancy but not mature enough to know they’re not ready; a child can be signed up by their parents for lifelong, non-dischargeable debt—

Results - extended periods spent in poorly ventilated classrooms are a stronger driver of within-school transmission than individual contact rates. Solution - monitor air quality and ensure classrooms are well ventilated.

- Reposted by AilbheKnown as “The Stranger’s Case,” this monologue is inspired by a real speech delivered in 1517 by Thomas More, then the under-sheriff of London, who was trying to calm a riotous anti-immigrant mob incensed by the presence of foreign workers. The riots went down in history as Evil May Day.
