Not the rapture. Just human trafficking by a degenerate, vicious government.

Predictions of the Rapture remain undefeated in their wrongness.

Disability justice means naming and actively combatting scapegoating, dehumanizing rhetoric, and ableism. Disabled people deserve to thrive in joy and dignity.

I honestly, truly, have zero fucking tolerance for anyone speculating that Palestinian accounts are scammers. You are telling on yourselves that you don't try. I have spoken with hundreds of Palestinians here. I know of exactly one scammer. Fuck you for leaving people to die out of cowardice.

Wait a minute. Why aren't we celebrating the hundredth anniversary of Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin's dissertation.

So a little while ago I got a wilderness medical care handbook on someone's recommendation and ..... Not regretting that decision any time soon.

I am not sure what is worse - trying to subjugate pregnant women by scaring them with anti-science or this vile climate denial at the United Nations today. Climate denial is hate speech. We need to start holding the US internationally responsible for their blatant violation of the no harm principle.

Oh hey, my migraines are very keen to celebrate #MigraineAwarenessWeek Utterly bizarre dreams, too. Speaking of which, gonna try for more.

If I were 300 years old I’d prefer to sit quietly, perhaps reading a book or listening to music, instead of hanging out with high schoolers Why would a tricentanarian voluntarily subject himself to 6-7 & skibidi toilet?

Re the final sentence bsky.app/profile/keta...

This right here.

i'm just going to go ahead and delete linkedin entirely. i don't see the point of it. i'm never on it.

IMHO, being in California and watching public perception shift in real time, Newsom is not doing anything with his "resistance" except literally just laundering and legitimizing fascism to liberals who don't comprehend that it isn't a partisan problem we're facing He's blue fascism incarnate

The mother of his children

This is your annual reminder that if you aren't cool with fat people, you don't get to enjoy fat bears.

Blaming the one drug that everyone takes for autism is such a funny attempt at data hacking. How would you even detect the increased rate of autism in pregnancies it when every pregnant woman takes that drug? Pure nonsense.

If you’re neurodivergent or disabled, or love someone who is, it’s ok if you’re hurting right now. It’s ok to be scared & angry. Fascism is terrifying and it’s hard to fight back when the fascists embrace eugenics. Don’t give up hope. There are more of us than them. Unplug, rest & recharge.

The theory is the Economist has a single editorial voice. Which of course means that in this case it has decided to align its editorial voice with Jesse Singal's, which isn't a surprise given literally all of their trans coverage in the last couple years

...FYI several ppl commented that The Economist doesn't name authors for many articles. which seems fine if it's a short news summary, but not in the case where it's one writer's interpretation of a study. especially when the interpretation is 180º different from the researchers' own conclusions!

...apparently he tweeted about it several days ago. it seems weird that The Economist purposely hid his name from readers. unless of course they knew that readers might already be aware of Jəsse's long history of bias on this issue...

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

it WOULD be nice if the Christian rapture happened on Rosh Hashanah because then there’d be so few people to annoy us when we’re hangry on Yom Kippur

When the Rapture inevitably, obviously doesn't happen, I don't think we should be using that a point of reflection and education. I think we should double down and tell Rapture believers it did happen and they didn't get accepted.

The thing is that I don’t think it’s naïveté so much as elite capture. There is no opposition to be found in the Democratic Party because their leaders are in a position to benefit from this.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

NyQuil makes a liquid pain reliever now called PainQuil which sends you directly to the Event Horizon hell dimension.

Suddenly all of us raiding the disintegrating RedBoxes seems like extreme foresight.

Dis? Ney? Never heard of them.

rapture thighs around my face, girl. i'm ready to meet god

Wilson has the stuffy Dems as scared as Mamdani does. Fuck off, Seattle wants a better mayor than the incumbent.

I interrupt all the misery in this world for 90 seconds on whether chili is soup.

Chat, it's only Monday

we stopped worrying about febrile seizures really quickly today i guess? or were they not aware of the relationship to fever? (unfortunately an open, honest question, but also rhetorical)

Everyone in academia should read this piece about our dear, brilliant colleague @durba.bsky.social www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Does anyone have a good playlist for the Rapture?

I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?" A: yes

The word “autism” was first used to describe behavioral differences in children in 1911 but autism has been documented using available records going back to the 1700s (definitively) and further. Acetaminophen (Tylenol, paracetamol) was discovered in 1878 and first sold in the United States in 1950.

The idea of not having Tylenol during pregnancy *and never giving it to children* is actually an entire nightmare. Fevers esp. in children are so dangerous, and we've gotten several generations removed so apparently have forgotten that fear. (Not if you've ever lain awake with a feverish infant)

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

p.s. Yes, misogynpir was the underlying cause but this is also exactly why they went after accomplished Black women first.

Walter reminds us: sometimes happiness is just a good (mud) bath

Shana tova u'metuka to everyone! I hope this coming year is better than the last one.

L'shana tova tikatevu from the West Coast. I'll save a piece of honey cake for you.

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

Musicians who teach kids instrumental music are actually the most wonderful humans.

Pete Buttigeg is endorsing in our mayoral race?? SIR. WTF.
