Since it's slightly less than easy to glean the rules from the sidebar, here's an itemized collection of rules. For example, the schadenfreude rule can be referred to as a)1.


a) Posts must be uplifting.

  1. This excludes schadenfreude.^[1]^

b) Posts must not overtly deal with toxic politics.^[1]^

c) Links must not be low-effort.^[1]^

  1. Links must not go to a copy of a copy of a copy.
    (Try finding the original source instead! Links do not have to be textual, so there's no need to find a content farm to post a video.)
  2. Posts must not be fake news.

Earlier this year, Hechinger contributor Sarah Carr wrote about how, across the country, far too few parents are made aware of the kinds of therapies their babies are entitled to under federal law. Such early intervention services can ultimately reduce the need for these children to require costly special education support as school children.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed that bill into law earlier this month. It takes effect in January.
