allowing soundbites from research studies to become news/media content was one of the worst ideas in human history & we're all suffering now because of it allowing non-experts to present stats with authority & without context has lead to a misinformation age & false confidence among ignorant twits

Awesome I love it when libs do solidarity like "how much Tylenol did Trump's mom take haha get it Trump is autistic which is bad like how he's fat and gay and has incontinence and when fat gay incontinent autistics say "idk if this is ideal praxis and rhetoric" I will tell them to enjoy the camps"

"You can’t eradicate autism without eradicating autistic people. It’s genocidal rhetoric against us that’s justified by 'autism destroys families. It destroys children.' No, it doesn’t. It’s bias against autistic people." From an interview at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

BEING AUTISTIC FUCKIN RULES

The Wave by The Devil Wears Prada youtu.be/nMs6IgS1xC4?...

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

Tylenol says nope.

Autism isn’t “caused” by Tylenol. Or vaccines. Or anything. It’s inherited. It’s natural. It’s human. The hunt for a “cause” is just the hunt for someone to blame - and blame only makes sense if you think being autistic is bad. We’re not. But if you continue saying this shit, you are.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

joining the war on autism on the side of autism

high fever (unlike Tylenol) is PROVEN to increase the risk of birth defects, generally congenital heart & jaw defects & Autistic people are fuckin' rad anyway ffs

BE A TRANS ALLY BEFORE IT BECOMES ILLEGAL:

If you use AI to summarize a research article for you, that is a tacit admission that 1) you do not understand what that article argues; 2) you do not know what evidence is presented to support that argument; and 3) you do not have enough information to evaluate either the argument or evidence.

Today's hot take: If you are reporting on someone else's speech or writing, such as in journalism or academic research, and you believe the content of their words to have been AI generated, you are doing an ethical disservice to your readers by not flagging it as such.

I can’t say it enough times - Everything hinges on trans rights. If you need self-interest: Cis ladies, do you like yoga pants and voting and guys in eyeliner? Cis dudes, do you like glam rock, metal, and Katharine Hepburn? Trans rights are our rights. Trans rights are your rights.

Tw/ cleaning, mold, potential gross This is your friendly reminder to periodically take the silicone part off your silicone spatulas (the kind you scrape the bowl with) to clean and let air dry! If you see dark discoloration, that's mold. Soak both parts in vinegar to clean them.

Two of the things I spend the most time doing are being a grad student and consuming competitive Pokemon (VGC) content, and lemme tell y'all that everyone in both spheres has or is about to have a PhD, and I just no longer feel special at all. Who cares?? everybody and their mom is a Dr these days.

Good news! “House appropriators have snubbed HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. by including an amendment in their 2026 spending bill that specifically funds continued messenger RNA vaccine research, despite his effort to roll it back.” From @statnews.com: www.statnews.com/2025/09/10/m...

Oh no here I am with the trans vendetta Judy Singer is a transphobe who only ever apologized because she got caught in the backlash of her own remarks. I wish it were different but this is who she is. As an Autistic trans American there was no way that was gonna fly. Go kick rocks into the sun.

Cheating's only cheating if you do it against other player(s) who didn't agree to new house rules. "Motherlode" in the Sims isn't a true cheat in this sense. Me using it doesn't affect your gameplay experience at all. Neither does using an accessibility option FOR access. That's the difference.
