We treat high fevers in the ICU with Tylenol and we don't make patients "tough it out" because that can be dangerous. Hope this helps.

Today’s autism announcement was just as bad as we feared Trump blamed Tylenol & vaccines for autism They encouraged women to just “tough out” their pain They praised people who don’t “need” meds or vaccines These are eugenicist talking points & they’re devastating to the disability community:

This short story doesn't really have a plot, just a simple narrative, and honestly this part has gone on for far too long to fit into any larger story. Considering publishing it anyway, but I also have an idea for how to use the same inspiring concept as a plot premise.

randomly decided to use neopronouns (ze/zem/zey/zeir) for a character named Nimrod in a short story I'm writing

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time “While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said, ‘You’re not the minority anymore.'” www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

screaming because someone actually sold his car thinking that the rapture is really gonna happen on tuesday. religious psychosis is terrifying y'all

Does no-one remember Switter?

Weird how this *remains relevant*

so the bluesky mods made the rules more vague, thus leading to (among other things) people not tagging their smut, leading to people reporting artists for not tagging their smut, leading to more vague rule changes lol

They are trying to declare us terrorists for existing. They're not doing that to any other demographic -- except maybe immigrants

Breaking: Speakers at Charlie Kirk memorial service make plea to their supporters for more political violence.

I want to include a webpage on my zine (probably with a QR code), but I want to make sure it's permanently available to prevent that exact thing from happening

watching even a few seconds of the kirk funeral makes it clear a large quantity of this country is ready for full on nazi authoritarianism and we have to really grapple with how much we need to put a stop to this as quickly as possible

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage

donald trumps brain is fully cooked, reacting to simple questions with anger, wandering around, pivots a lot to his ballroom after not answering questions, says job numbers and economy look strong, just fully lives in a different reality

lot of people immediately able to grasp why this is bad still making excuses for posting on twitter

i thought Big Brother was trending because of the ABC shit but no it's just a TV show, so like, carry on I guess

i think a potentially potent rallying cry, politically, to combat this censorial movement we’re seeing rn is “aren’t you tired of these freaks telling you what you’re allowed to do?”

Fuck I've got to start radicalizing people

Reverse Pagliacci just dropped

Let me be the one to say it plain and clear. America is not intelligent or self-sufficient enough as a nation to be isolationist. American exceptionalism is a dangerous delusion. Like an Icarus level delusion. And it's so deep too many folks don't realize the wings already burned & we're plummeting.

Is it bad that I waited until I went to a public toilet to take a shit, rather than doing it at home?

My most viral post on here was pointing out Ruby Bridges is younger than my mom and on Instagram. Our history ain’t that historic, the black and white photography just fooled us

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

Can I just say … I wish the general population was as upset and outspoken about trans people being labeled as dangerous, sub-human enemies of the state as they are about the cis white male comedian getting his show taken off the air ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DO NOT go back to twitter that is the hitler site. i am dead serious with this shit. its main role as a de-facto organ of the trump admin is to facilitate nazi propaganda. you cannot be posting your doodles on the "euthanize all trans people" forum just because they still allow pornography

it's great that there are trans women I'd love to kiss, except I'm not much of a woman at the moment what with a beard, basketball shorts, and a lanky masc shape, and also that they're MUCH further along in transition & life in general than I am, even if they're the same age as me

i refuse to call hateful propagandists like Bari Weiss, Jesse Singal, or David Leonhardt journalists. they mimic some journalistic rituals to varying degrees, but only so far as it allows them to sell their conspiracy theories & libel. it seems there is a lot of money to be made by murdering kids.

human rights that guys like Klein never need to exercise and suffering they don't need to endure are purely hypothetical concepts to them, so sacrificing them costs them nothing, and they incorrectly believe the people who want to restrict rights and cause suffering will be grateful for a trade

I genuinely have no idea whether I was just called "man" or "ma'am", it's a little loud in here

microsoft tryna tempt me with an academic integrity violation

Reps: your constituents are at risk! You should be risking yourself with them.

I saw a post once that was like If you would give an artist $1 for art that's locked away, but wouldn't if the art was free, you're not supporting the arts, you're paying to keep it away from others and that really stuck with me

why do trans women hate each other so much

I want to reiterate that the Trump administration does not actually have the legal power to punish networks for content critical of the president or the political Right. That’s going to be true for a lot of the assaults on freedom that come from this regime. The answer is “fuck you, make me.”

once again I should delete my account, and maybe my life

I got curious so I loaded up Android XR in an emulator and took some screenshots. The emulator version is barebones with ancient apps, and I bet the launcher/system UI is gonna look way different for each vendor, as per the norm. Slightly more is in alt text.

if retail workers don't get holidays off, corporate and HR of those companies shouldn't get it off either

if only Black people went to Klan meetings to debate their humanity

if I ever get to move out, one thing I want to buy is a NAS

one more thing I'd do if I had the time: make a leaflet.pub "appview" and (sigh) web client that _isn't_ reliant on Vercel; probably written in Go to sit on a regular server and run like server software is supposed to

The thing with designating a group that doesn't actually exist as a terrorist organization is that they can then say anyone they want is a part of that group.

finding out today Bluesky deletes posts for no reason whatsoever and doesn't tell you about them so yeah, I should probably find a new PDS. Probably best to switch to self-hosted and keep a backup...

What's the best way to tell Notewise they should add an infinite canvas option? (I think I already submitted a help ticket about it forever ago because I can't find any other way. And I don't and won't have Twitter to message them on there)

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

I wanna figure out how to set up KeePass (DX Android & XC Windows) where it somehow requires me to have my security key present, but not necessarily on the same device. Mostly for TOTP, because the key itself only has like 30 slots on it and I wanna un-cap that.

There wasn’t one watershed event that helped Hitler achieve ultimate power. It was a staircase, each crisis gave Hitler a new tool & each time, elites and the general public adjusted rather than resisted. By the time ordinary Germans realized what was happening, it was too late. #Resist #StayWoke
