My baby cousin called me in tears because all her accounts have been compromised. We went over possible infection vectors (the “try my game” DM scam etc) and nothing stood out. But then she wondered if they’d gotten a foothold through the Canvas ransom somehow.
Has anyone else heard of students getting their personal accounts popped very recently in a way that might be tied to the Canvas incident?

"...The climatic shift devastated crops nearly 150 years ago, raising the question of whether a similar disruption could threaten global food security yet again. The strongest El Niño on record from 1877 to 1878 fueled conditions that led to a global famine which killed more than 50 million people across India, China, Brazil and elsewhere. That was 3 to 4 percent of the estimated global population at the time, equal to at least 250 million people if it happened today.

@atomicpoet I still remember a school that forced girls into home-ec and boys into shop.

It's a complex thing. But dismantling means taking it back down to the beginning and having teachers who don't project onto students and watch out for this stuff
