---

The Idaho Medical Freedom Act, which makes it illegal to require almost anyone to take a vaccine, test or other “medical intervention,” comes amid a national measles outbreak larger than the U.S. has seen in decades.

The Idaho Medical Freedom Act makes it illegal to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive “medical intervention.” Leslie Manookian, the activist behind the law, hopes to make it a “societal norm” for the rest of the country.

Let me see if I got this.

Now, in Idaho, only the vaccinated kids can be sent home from school during an outbreak?

In 2024, lawmakers celebrated the largest investment in Idaho’s history to fix its schools. But only a handful will be able to fully address challenges to accessibility.

At least 10 districts reported in 2023 that their bathrooms, gyms and cafeterias weren’t all accessible for students with disabilities, with some unable to get their lunch or attend classes on second floors.

Disabled Idaho Students Lack Access to Playgrounds and Lunchrooms. Historic $2 Billion Funding Will Do Little to Help.

Despite federal law, disabled students can’t access playgrounds, lunchrooms, classes and bathrooms. With added funding, school districts are still unable to make necessary fixes.

#Lifegoals:

You win an illustrious prize

But you have no idea

Because you're in #digitaldetox and completely unreachable

'Jeffrey Bluestone, a friend of Ramsdell’s and co-founder of the lab, said the researcher deserves credit but he can’t reach him, either.

“I have been trying to get a hold of him myself. I think he may be backpacking in the backcountry in #Idaho,” Bluestone told AFP.'

#Idaho Schools Consistently Break Disability Laws. Parents Say They’re Not Doing Enough to Fix the Problem.
==
Idaho #students with disabilities have worse outcomes than many of their peers in other states, according to federal data.

#Parents say it can take months to evaluate students, and in some cases #schools have refused to provide needed services.

When Clayton Strong drove his wife’s body to a hospital in Idaho, the coroner took his word that it was a natural death.

Five years later, Strong’s next wife turned up dead too: shot in the chest in Texas.

A large crowd gathers at a public demonstration, holding signs and banners. The view is from above, framed by architectural columns. Surrounding greenery and city buildings are visible in the background under a clear sky.

From 7pm London time we travel back to late 1920s Japan with @stewf at @letterformarchive as he takes you deeper into the 24 volumes of The Complete Commercial Artist.

The periodical, and the archive's new book (https://letterformarchive.org/shop/complete-commercial-artist), were the topic of Stephen's regular BLAG column: Inside Letterform Archive.

Stephen's is one of 12 sessions running across five hours of BLAG Meet: Inside Issue 06. Learn more, and book for free at https://bl.ag/meet.

#Signs#Japan#CommercialArt#Radio

Illustration of a projecting cabinet sign that incorporated Japanese scripts with the word "Radio" that dominates and provides the sign with its shape: the large R extends the left portion of the sign upwards instead of being rectangular, while the O is formed into a speaker from an old radio with the tube extending downwards, taking the shape of the sign with it.

People always enjoy taking a look around others' work spaces, and for this BLAG Meet (https://bl.ag/meet) we'll get a peek behind the doors of Jay Smith's studio/workshop in Idaho.

This will include a browse through some of the classic sign painting books that he was lucky to get his hands on recently, as reported here: https://bl.ag/bookish-good-luck-at-mclellan-signs-in-nampa-idaho/.

Man in room with artworks and a guitar hanging on the walls. He's looking to one side and sat in front of a table/desk that has a sign kit box on it that is lettered with "My signs don't cost, they pay".
