Loud vehicles cause harm to #children, #pedestrians and #bicyclists on a daily basis, yet #TinaKotek and her administration look the other way out of fear of Harley owners, who can "customize" without regard to those exposed.

There are vehicles, with no #DEQ inspection, yet they abuse those condemned to use public throughways with egregious, otherwise illegal in a *workplace*, noise levels.

Healthy #Noise level laws are being flaunted by those via exception:

It's an in-use vehicle.

#PDX

DEQ is not able to investigate noise complaints as of July 1, 1991 when legislative action was taken to terminate the DEQ Noise Control Program. DEQ rules governing noise remain in place for city, county or municipal government entities to utilize.
Were the state noise regulations rescinded?
No. The state noise regulations remain on the books. Regulated sources of noise are legally responsible for complying with all applicable provisions and standards, even though DEQ no longer investigates noise complaints.

Fuck you, you fucking douchebag.

You want people to have more #children?

#Healthcare. #Housing. #Daycare. #Maternity and #paternity leave. #Child #tax credits. A #livingwage. Four day workweek. Etc.

Nah: deny #women the right to have an #abortion and make everyone #poor and desperate, right? Goddamned #plutocrat assholes.

Plus, you raised an absolute festering pustule of a son, #ElonMusk. So don't you dare lecture anyone about #parenting, Cruella.

Elon's mom, Maye Musk, talks about how people should have kids even though they can't afford it.

In more than 700 cases over five years, #Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a WABE and ProPublica analysis found.

Advocates say it would be cheaper to help families get housing.

#UnitedHealth is positively #fucking #EVIL for intentionally denying #critical care and services to autistic #children for #profit. They know *exactly* what they are doing.

This damning #ProPublica article highlights UH's strategy via secret playbook to deny children care. Absolutely eye-opening.

As an #actuallyautistic #human who #parents an #autistic #child, this is horrifying and utterly reprehensible.

Greater Manchester police issue a dispersal order then throw people onto random trains to other parts of the country.

Only problem was some of the people were only 13 years old, didn't know where they were going and apparently were selected as being part of the traveller community.

There are issues about child endangerment and discrimination against certain ethnic groups. I'm very uncomfortable about this story.

"For me, being an open academic means that the research that you're doing is open to the ones you're doing it for. So that means that I want to involve the young people and #children that I'm doing research for, and not only as a participant, but also as a researcher."

In our 10-minute open science podcast paediatrician Laura Postma shares her experiences with patient involvement, and what being an open academic means to her.

This cartoon reminds me of my Filipino childhood. I wonder if people in Southeast Asia can also relate.

A cartoon showing leaves of a plant called "makahiya" folding when it comes in contact with a child's finger. One kid puts her pointing finger on another's armpit then he curls up like a fetus.
