The Florida Department of Education says the new standards don’t teach that slavery was beneficial.

However, one of the benchmarks (SS.68.AA.2.3) states students will be taught, “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”

Anyone able to think of a good argument for explicitly requiring this? I'm having trouble thinking of why you'd call this out in the standards unless, you know, you are a fan of slavery...

Edit: This was supposed to go here, womp womp

I played a decent amount of Odyssey (didn't get close to finishing it) but bounced off Origins pretty quick. What mechanics did they change in Odyssey that you miss? Might be worth going back to play it if I know what's different!

So she got BS from BS

To be fair, my guess about the source of those claims is also totally unsubstantiated and quite possibly bullshit 😉

Does she hold any investment in BlueSky?

Imo, it's way more likely she got her information about BS from the website/a press release/a contact at BS and like you said, didn't bother to get a contrasting opinion from anyone associated with Mastodon (probably because it's a lot harder to get ahold of someone from a distributed project like Mastodon).
