CHOTINER: So You created us right GOD: Yes CHOTINER: In Your image GOD: Yes CHOTINER: And sometimes we do bad things GOD: Oh Yes CHOTINER: And then you send plagues and floods GOD: OK I think I see where you are going with this

CHOTINER: So last week you said the word “strawberry” has six R’s. CHATGPT: Yeah and I want to thank you for the chance to address that because it’s a trick question— CHOTINER:—actually, no— CHATGPT: —since the word “strawberry” is spelled with a 9. CHOTINER: The number 9? CHATGPT: Absolutely.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐

im sorry about doing so much autism posting i just am out here really loving having a weird brain and i think it sucks so bad that people want to eliminate people like me so bad they are willing to kill kids over it. though tbh they are willing to kill kids for a lot of other reasons

Cause of autism? #autism #tylenol

I think…people’s obsession with “a cause”…is precisely because autism’s genetic randomness is hard to stratify by social class……………..

If my writing about autism does anything, whether it be in my books, my columns or my reported stories, I hope it advances the idea that autistic people are whole human beings as they are with legitimate needs and inner lives that deserve to be told the same as other stories.

The anti-trans right heavily praised Gordon Guyatt as the “godfather” of evidence based medicine. He worked for SEGM and was responsible for their GRADE reviews. Now he disavows them, says evidence supports transgender youth care. Great coverage from Henry carnell.

*taps mic* remember: this is not just egregious lies about autism which is already bad enough it's also about ensuring pregnant people suffer by trying to make them afraid of taking painkillers don't let the ableism hide the misogyny

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

“The “refrigerator mother” myth was used as a justification for taking children away from their parents and subjecting the kids to ever-harsher treatments…now the Trump administration is poised to start a new cycle in which moms are once again blamed for their kids’ autism.” My latest.

Was at the pub when a friend said "have you seen St John of the Cross' 'Ascent of Mount Carmel'? I've always found it to be quite... Phallic. But I've looked and nobody's written about it! I don't think they've noticed!" And I looked it up like "how bad can it be if nobody's noticed?" This is it:

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

today in aesthetic correlations of neofeudal hypothesis

Huh, cancel culture works. Major backpedal from Academia [dot] "edu", who updated their Terms of Use today, probably because thousands of academics deleted their accounts when they posted new Terms last week granting them use of users' voice and likeness. That's now removed. Still a predatory site!

No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy. Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

i found the cure for autism it's called minding your fucking business

they’re putting Kimmel back on the air. I would now like to see the same amount of outrage for the firing of professors for their statements

omg!

"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...

anyway, instead of giving attention to any of the anti-autism bullshit happening currently, how about we use my autism powers for good and for every like on this post I will show you a frog (real, medieval, fictional, the world is your oyster [or frog])

Saving this to use as a react image

"Irreversible" when referring to trans medical care, is a dogwhistle directly descending from Abigail Shrier's "Irreversible Damage", a book that openly argues that white transmascs not having white babies is part of "great replacement theory". It is white supremacist horseshit.

Serious scholars have examined what happens when we change the number of H1-B visas issued. Cities that get more H1-B immigrants subsequently see the wages of natives *rise* substantially. Skilled immigrants bring new ideas, fill labor shortages and make us all more productive.

everything about this is iconic, from the hair to the shoulder pads to the reveal that she addresses herself as “bitch” to the absolute murder in her eyes in that first shot. that is a woman who homophobes would cross the street to avoid for fear of their life. absolute ally goals

Since the Health Sec is again calling for segregation of trans people in healthcare, a reminder of what that actually looks like in practice. Inferior care and medical neglect. transsafety.network/posts/scared...

Vivian Wilson talks about how accessing gender affirming care as a teen was lifesaving at the Teen Vogue Summit.

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people

In the pilot episode of Murder, She Wrote, Jessica’s first book is published and it’s a bestseller. By the 4th episode, she’s published 6 novels and the first book is being made into a movie. By the 12th episode, she’s appointed as an interim congressperson after Maine’s congressional rep dies.

Someone I know was racially abused the Friday before the fash march at Waterloo station because she was wearing a hijab, and ended up having to take it off

Hahahaha Academia Dot Your Stuff Is Yours messed up so badly that Humanities Commons is currently down, lol When it comes back, scholar friends, go get yourself a profile at a place that won't steaI from you

They should make an international franchise out of Murder She Wrote called Murder She Translated, where Jessica Fletcher's various translators in different countries also happen to solve crimes in their spare time

Being nice to trans people really did turn out to be a load bearing part of liberal democracy ey

Look at academia giving me a little hope
