Tylenol in pregnancy doesn’t cause autism. There isn’t an “epidemic of autism”. Autism is not the fault of the mother or the child. Whatever they announce tomorrow, it won’t be based in science or truth. Stay vigilant, follow the science and support the neurodivergent community.

What the heck has BigScience™️ been doing for decades?! This group of anti-vaxxers and grifters only needed 6 months to find the cause of Autism - and they even have a miracle cure ready to sell. www.washingtonpost.com/healt...

There is something different about these election signs from @nickelaanderson.bsky.social.

This was ENTIRELY PREDICTABLE. "The CDC is urging Americans to cancel their upcoming flights if they are not vaccinated against measles." "The agency has upgraded its health travel warning after discovering the virus - one of the most infectious in the world - is spreading on US airplanes."

Applying for hundreds of jobs - even thousands - is now the norm in higher-educated occupations. The job search is nothing like it was a decade ago. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/b...

Public health shouldn’t be centred around individual behaviour change. It should be focused on changing the wider commercial, social, environmental & ultimately political determinants of health. Behaviour change will naturally come when healthy behaviours are facilitated by those structural changes.

Reminder: There is no more ambiguity. This is the moment history books will detail right and wrong sides in moral clarity. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...

It really wasn't going to go any other way, was it? When you are creating laws that are unjust, anti-human rights, and just plain hateful -- you have to act outside of constitutional protections. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmon...

I recall an anonymous quote from an elected Democrat asking with exasperation: do people expect us to put our bodies on the line? @katmabu.bsky.social did it. She gets it. All the respect.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Who is served by narratives that dehumanize people, narratives that play on people's deepest fears and desire for safety? And where else are we seeing those fear-based leadership tactics being employed, and what are the consequences? open.substack.com/pub/civicg...

hi, cis folks! the WSJ endangered trans lives with false reporting yesterday. it’s still accepted as truth by many, regardless of it being false. the article’s still up with a little note. it needs full retraction. it's not even a phone call—it's email. you can do this. contact info below.🧵⬇️

What this says to me is: 1) PROTEST WORKS. Pritzker and everyday Chicagoans effectively repelled the threat, at least for now. 2) They are weakened. Afaik it's the first time he's seriously threatened to do this in a GOP governor state. Which tells me they're feeling less confident facing off

Wait. Why are you apologizing to league officials behind closed doors if you're innocent and nothing alleged ever even happened? www.nytimes.com/athletic/652...

To me, "transformative" would be high speed rail and intercity public transit across Canada. Massive green energy projects. Fully-funded public healthcare with pharmacare and mental health. Slightly more fossil fuels and mining do not sound all that transformative. Definitions may vary, it seems.

This is also political violence. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It’s so surreal seeing prominent right-wing figures—an influential presidential advisor, the last campaign’s biggest donor, etc.—call for violence, the GOP president lie and stoke violence, every Dem officeholder condemn it, and mainstream media treat those as the same, or the Dem reaction as worse.

I condemn political violence. It has no place in a democracy.

School board elections in Alberta are October 20 - the same day we elect new city councils. Pay attention to these campaigns. www.readtheorchard.org/p/the...

A communications failure of left-of-the-far-right politics today is the lack of step 2. Step 1 is alert, raise the alarm, make people aware. Step 2 is tell people what they can do, how they can help, or - as the right side is good at - give them an action and reason to fight.

Now that the mission impossible movies are ostensibly over, I say reboot the franchise but call Mission:Impossibler and all the missions are too hard and no one ever actually accomplishes the missions. Every movie ends in failure and all agents are disavowed. New cast every time.
