5 Takeaways: Joe Biden Closer To Nomination As Coronavirus Changes Everything -

npr:

In what have turned out to be the last presidential primary elections in the month of March because of the novel coronavirus, Joe Biden swept all three states Tuesday by big margins and appears well on his way to being the Democratic nominee.

The former vice president won Florida by almost 40 points, Illinois by more than 20 and Arizona by double-digits, too.

It was a remarkable night that adds to Biden’s delegate lead that, at this point and because of how Democrats allocate their delegates, looks insurmountable.

i hate that they can move their limbs like that so much.

if i drew this and asked for critique on any art site, i know that every critique would tell me to go study more basic anatomy and lecture me about how joints dont work like that

Unfortunately, every picture of a gerenuk is like that.

They’re just incorrigibly fucked up and if you tried to draw them as they actually are, it’s a cinch you’d get heaps of people trying to redline that shit for you and telling you to “fix” it.

Human Trafficking Awareness Campaigns Are Feeding A Dangerous Myth -

rapeculturerealities:

For years now, experts have pointed out that the reality of sex trafficking bears little resemblance to the sensationalized version depicted in public-awareness campaigns. Shoppers are not being snatched from grocery store parking lots. Victims are rarely moved against their will and seldom exhibit any of the “warning signs” that would make their abuse visible to members of the public. Despite the persistent myth that human trafficking “could happen to anyone,” most victims are undocumented, homeless, in foster care or otherwise marginalized.

“Most sex trafficking happens to a relatively small group of high-risk young people,” said David Finkelhor, the director of the University of New Hampshire’s Crimes Against Children Research Center. “We could do a lot more to prevent trafficking by addressing those vulnerabilities — like family abuse, neglect or foster care placement — directly.”

Coronavirus: Kansas Becomes 1st State To End School Year — But May Not Be Last -

npr:

The school year has come to an abrupt end for students across Kansas.

Gov. Laura Kelly announced that she has ordered classes K-12 to be closed for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year, citing fears about the spread of the coronavirus disease COVID-19 and the “unprecedented emergency” it presents.

“This was not an easy decision to make,” Kelly said in a statement issued Tuesday.

“It came after close consultation with the education professionals who represent local school boards, school administrators and local teachers,” she explained. “These unprecedented circumstances threaten the safety of our students and the professionals who work with them every day and we must respond accordingly.”
