Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

Folks saying "why did it take Kimmel for folks to get upset?!?" Like are y'all new here? 😭 😭 I thought we all understood why well trained activists tell folks to put the white folks upfront and in the frontline of most protest actions?? They ain't moving until they see themselves in the victim

the Brazilian right is attempting to pass measures through the legislature to shield Bolsonaro and other legislators from the legal consequences of the failed coup, for which Bolsonaro was recently sentenced to 27 years. these photos are of the massive protests in response.

Stands on rooftops: 📣 🗣️ 🗣️THERE IS NO LINK BTW ACETAMINOPHEN & AUTISM. IT HAS BEEN STUDIED FOR MANY YEARS IN MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. 🗣️THE ONLY REASON THEY ARE TALKING ABT THIS IS THAT THEY DO NOT WANT AUTISTIC PEOPLE TO EXIST. 🗣️IT IS EUGENICS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. -EmilyPhD

Children's hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, whose detention sparked a community uproar and became a test of counterterrorism powers in immigration court, was released from an Ohio jail Friday as DHS abruptly withdrew its case against him. “This is beyond my dreams,” he told ProPublica.

Here's the scary part: "We know how Autism happens so we won’t let it happen anymore.” If they're saying it's because of taking Tylenol during pregnancy, then this could be their excuse to monitor all pregnancies in the US.

What do you do with yourself when you’re expecting the rapture to arrive in a few days like do you still go to work?

Are you giving them mandatory Philosophy of Technology classes every single semester, too? Because uhhh…

I realised the other day that not everybody knows this. Scroll down through any game listing in the Steam store, and if they've disclosed the use of AI within their game, it'll be above the System Requirements section. Now you can avoid supporting the use of AI in game development!

okay AI controversy aside, just talking as a nerd for a second: this is such a cool paper

Covered in this thread: 1. The underlying science behind the link 2. Antihistamines as COVID prevention practical advice 3. Prophylactic antihistamines to make you not feel like shit after a COVID vaccine practical advice 4. Antihistamines during an active COVID infection to prevent long COVID

The updated COVID/histamine link thread because people keep tagging me in to explain it and I keep intending to update the post from 2023 (synecdochic.dreamwidth.org/805203.html) and just not having the capacity because of my own health shit so here is a thread I can pin

In a world that made even a lick of sense, anybody w/ a degree in anything like social implications of tech should be able to write their own ticket rn. …But if we lived in a world that recognized, let alone properly valued that expertise, a whole lot of shit would already necessarily be different.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win (h/t @miriamposner.com) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Tomorrow is going to be a shitty day for many autistic people. The report on itself is bad, but so is the language we're going to see officials use to describe autism.

Yes it was. Now, the reason I started saying it was because some students complained about my language in their SETs. Since I am new faculty, I have to be mindful of this sort of thing so I started replacing profanity with all the fantasy stuff that I know. Hence "in Valen's name."

FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK, BITCH

What movie do you consider perfect?

periodically I see the president doing things like “post crimes for his attorney general to do that were maybe supposed to be an unencrypted DM on his own personal social network” and I remember that he got elected in large part because of information security practices and I black out in rage

Hey, Autism is not a disease. While not all Autistics have food aversion, it is found in a lot of Autistic and neurodivergent folk. If you want to stick it to the people sharing and celebrating the spreading of misinformation about Autism, share stuff made by Autistic folk. Like my book:

this is awesome!

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

They don’t seem very sad that he died

Ppl getting fired for “celebrating Kirk’s death” and these people are literally shooting fireworks

As we boycott vile companies, a reminder that many US public libraries offer: 1) Ebooks & audiobooks via the Libby app. Pro tip: use the “notify me” tag to request your library add books by trans, disabled, & BIPOC authors! 2) TV & film streaming via Kanopy 3) Language learning via Mango 💙📚 And:

#HPS program at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for Postdoc in History and Philosophy of Science as part of research project Human Variables in Biodiversity Assessment (PI: Joeri Witteveen): employment.ku.dk/faculty/?sho... #philsky #PhilJobs #philsci Deadline is November 7, 2025.

Drive is REALLY good.

Holy shit. The administration might be evacuating the ICE facility we've been protesting for weeks. If this ends up happening, it's a huge deal. Protests matter. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-ev...

JD saying Detroit is unsafe and riddled with crime while in Howell…HOWELL?! The jokes write themselves.

Yeah, I had to try three sites to cancel Disney+ but the runaround only made me more determined to do it.

This is brilliant and I would go one further: Find some of his most vile, racist, sexist & transphobic statements (won’t be hard). Misquote them to say the exact opposite of the hate he intended - make them tolerant, kind And then let his followers correct you by quoting what he actually said

Own your truth, guys. You could be passionately authentic about small government, low taxes, gutting the social safety net but not totally dismantling it, and somewhat reactionary cultural positions.

Not even kidding, Democrats should just change their party name to Republicans 2 and run on "We're the Republicans now, those other guys have gone Nazi but you love Republicans, right??"

I’m making a video now because I completely agree and I believe that some of this is actually about the source texts of both as religions. Disney raised its own opps narratively And Rowling her biggest enablers And it’s all in the books

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

Sharing the hell out of this brilliant one because what are they going to say??

Rapture theology - that the holy will be beamed to heaven before a period of tribulation - is a concept younger than the steam-powered locomotive. It's neither widely accepted as a Christian doctrine nor widely believed outside the United States.

Idk how people are skipping over a post that could quite literally save someone's life. HELP REBEKA!! They've been asking for help for 3 days! They have CANCER and need funds to pay for CRUCIAL radiation treatment!!

Seconding this for anyone who needs to hear it. My last drink was January 9, 2016, and I got a LOT of mileage out of "I picked the wrong year to quit drinking," which was in no small part my Gen X gallows humor getting me through that brutal year. If you need help, reach out. You're not alone.

Republicans were running anti trans ads against other republicans in Oklahoma. No amount of transphobic vitriol is ever enough. www.oudaily.com/news/anti-tr...
