I keep thinking about the people for whom $400K is a small number and how they are the reason people for whom it is a very big number have to hustle like this Please keep circulating this so that people who have $500 to spare see it

THIS JUST IN: YOU HAVE TO PUT EFFORT IN TO UNDERSTAND A COMPLEX SUBJECT. MORE AT 9

Private agency adoptions ends, and adoptions will be centralized in South Korea. 🥚 #adopteesky news.cgtn.com/news/2025-10...

lots of salty meme-ish signs all being carried by folks probably my parents’ age

This! Red states are not ALL red. Those of us making them purple are dealing with the same garbage policies and shit attitudes. And no, we don't always have the ability to "just move".

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

I can’t be the only one who feels like he doesn’t feel shameful about this at all, right? Like. His expression gives me the “I just have to serve six months and then I’m out to do it all over again” vibe and I greatly dislike that.

Not allowing remote work means you won't get the best candidate and I will stand on that. (Because it was never about hiring the best candidates, it's about monitoring staff because workers are just numbers to corporations.)

Today’s gotcha day (I’m aware that fellow adoptees hate that term but I’m more indifferent to it). I always have such mixed emotions about today though not nearly as much as I do on my birthday. My parents usually get me a small gift which is touching. I’m fortunate enough to have a (1/?)

“Why do I, a STEM major, need to take an ethics class?”

Drew's been using his recognisability to fundraise for several years now and it always makes me smile to see 💜 ID: Animated gif of Drew, a white man with blue eyes, blinking with mild surprise.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Guess it's time to plug the Kofi again. Any bit helps as I'm actively going to be homeless in less than a month and I have to try and save what little I can ko-fi.com/neurotenical

This guy got fired from his sports reporting job for THIS post. This is easily, easily the most censorious period in my life. You can get sent to detention camps by the government for writing an op-ed or fired from your job for THIS type of post.

Part of me wants to try and find my bio mom. But I’m honestly so afraid, especially as an openly queer person. SK hasn’t been known for uh. Progressive values 🫠🙃

not enough of them call your reps!!!!!

It is genuinely your moral duty, if you’re in the sciences, to violate the terms of your contact and take as much of the research home with you as you can. Today, tomorrow, every day your lab’s still open.

People might think that whatever destruction is done to science in the US, we can undo in 4 years with a Democratic president and Congress. The problem is that many areas require specialized knowledge and skills built up over years, and once that's lost, it's hard to get back.

With the demise of Joann's, I'm going to share a few online resources I've found. It's by no means exhaustive, but hopefully it helps folks find what they need. 🧵

I will never apologize for a post

Once you decide one group can go under the bus, you've decided all of the groups can go under the bus. At that point you're just negotiating preferred order.

They aren't overlooking it. They just don't care and don't expect their audience to think about it or care, either.

she is an intercountry #adoptee from China; she has two heart conditions and she requires a transplant; her hospital will not approve the transplant until her adopters agree to her receiving flu and COVID vaccines, which they adamantly refuse to do. She is in heart failure.

All the people that said we'd be fine owe me $5-$5000 depending on your income. ko-fi.com/wyldmouse/go...

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINATIONS NOW.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have developed a nasal COVID-19 vaccine that BLOCKS transmission of the virus. This suggests vaccines delivered directly to the nose or mouth could play a CRITICAL role in containing the spread of respiratory infections. Phase I clinical trials HAVE BEEN APPROVED! 🧪🧵⬇️

This is very scary. Please share this info in ASL widely so folks know their rights. youtu.be/1Q-fpFGqLes?...

I mean, great. I love Elizabeth Warren, but neither she nor any other Democratic senators are up to the task here. "Congress must investigate?" DOGE weirdos are inside the Treasury RIGHT NOW. This is like watching a bank robbery in progress and saying, "hmm, we should investigate."

And so it begins again - US Reps. Thom Tiffany and Lauren Boebert have reintroduced their bill to strip gray wolves of federal protections. The bill, renamed the "Pet and Livestock Protection Act", relies on misinformation and fear in its attempt to delist wolves and prevent judicial review.

If you want an exclusive monopoly on US government communications, you only have to pay $277 million to get it. Not to the government of course, you pay it to one particular government official personally.

Like just really. If it were already the case science agreed with the transphobes then the transphobes would not need to fundamentally change the way science is funded in the US and use monetary threats to force the (published) science to start agreeing with them. This is all very unsubtle.

I never understood dudes who drew dicks all over everything. And yet. The grace at which this one is drawn, the percision, not a wasted motion, every stroke planned in advance. Dear god, they were training for this moment

I found this as well, apparently if you close all MS office programs, and go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\vfs\ProgramFilesCommonX64\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE16\ai.exe You can delete ai.exe but you may have to do this after each windows update.

A child abuse pediatrician talks about a CDC app that's been taken offline: "We use this to figure out the right dose to treat a young child who's acquired a sexually transmitted infection after being abused. [...] Apparently helping little kids who've been sexually assaulted is just too woke now."

Amanda Overton, my therapist shall know your name #Severance #Jayvik

What does this mean? That the medical privacy of trans youth has no protections. That ideologues in hospitals can play politics with kids personal medical data and there will be no consequences. That trans Americans are second class citizens.

DurangoAnarchists on IG giving an example of what information is actually helpful instead of sharing vague ~*Resistance Vibes*~ nothing burgers 🖤✊🏽

🚨 PSA: If you are trans, do NOT mail in your passport to attempt to change your gender marker. The State Department is currently collecting them unchanged and will not give a public timeline for returning them. You could be without a passport indefinitely.

The censorship begins: According to officials, the Trump administration is instructing health agencies including the CDC, FDA, NIH, and HHS to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts.

Did bird flu establish this policy

if you don't understand why adoptees who do not have documentation that their biological parents are citizens and were born in this country are panicked and in danger, now is a great time to learn more about adoption and the laws surrounding it!!

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you! This pin is based on the dragon nebula, and it was one of our most challenging design puzzles! The leftovers will be in our Feb shop update.

I feel like my personality can be summarized by the fact that I actually get excited about my CME credits that I have to do. The platform my job uses has access to a lot of neat bite sized courses. We can pick what interests us, and it’s been very helpful.

Media and digital literacy are key to disrupting disinformation. --clapping back/arguing just helps to amplify bad faith accounts & false material --don't share "funny" disinfo to dunk on it; some will still believe it --BLOCK, REPORT, and tell others to do same *without* sharing disinfo content

Oh also @ life can you please give me a single week where one of our patients isn’t pediatric. Like. Please. It’s never fun to find cancer in someone’s blood. But like. It’s especially Not Fun when it’s a kiddo. Like. Fucking Christ. Breaks my heart.

I’m so very tired of being able to an absolute executive function all star at work. But the moment I’m home? Burnt out to a crisp 🫠
