Good luck to them!

Young, sharp people need to graduate from doing snark abt Pete Buttegieg online to engaging in their municipalities & knocking some damn doors. This is the way forward.

Neurodivergent folks should all be paid a stipend to do things we like to do, and the world would end up benefiting from it.

I don't know who needs to see this, but autistic bluntness is not rude, it's efficient. 💡

This thread is a MASTERCLASS example of how antiblackness is global AND doesn't always express itself explicitly. Please take some time and get educated by Jon on history!

In the UK, young children have been denied Covid vaccines (even unavailable privately). Children currently in year 4 and above were the last to be offered any doses, and very few took them up. This year, even Clinically Vulnerable children will be denied access to any Covid vaccines.

Today is my birthday, and I’m turning 34. Do I feel my age? No. The perception of age vanished at some point while I became chronically ill. Still, there are fleeting moments when I’m reminded of it. 1/9 #MECFS #pwME #Photography @openmedf.bsky.social

Autoimmunity is the presence of antibodies and T lymphocytes that react to normal parts of a person’s system. OMF’s ME/CFS CRC at Uppsala has found an upregulation of autoantibodies in up to 70% of people with #MECFS in a preliminary study. Read more: www.omf.ngo/autoimmunity/

a thing i think about sometimes is how when i was a kid they would give us a snack on standardized testing days because it made us do better on tests but on any other day we were not

Long Covid has now overtaken Asthma in the US, as a cause of chronic health disease in children. There is currently no cure. Yet no action is being taken and Violet Affleck is very much on point.

Thank you Danny! I just got the #Novavax vaccine at Danny’s Pharmacy, 110 West End Avenue at 64th Street in Manhattan, NYC. They just gave the last shot, BUT they have another shipment arriving any minute. First come, first serve. 😷 www.dannyspharmacy2.com @luckytran.com @levin.bsky.social

Listen to autistic voices first. We know what life feels like from the inside. Invite us, believe us, & let our lived wisdom guide research & policy. That’s the conversation we need to be having. #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #LateDx #Autistic #RFK

I updated my website to reflect some news! 👀 I'll be offering ✨worldwide✨ consultations for anyone who wants to talk about being Autistic/Neurodivergent but may not actually be interested in formal diagnosis because *gestures broadly* things are complicated out here & Dx might not be right for you

There is an unmet need for dietetic support for people with #ME of all severities - mild, moderate, and severe. #Dietitians can make an enormous difference to the lives of people with ME, particularly those with #severeME. #EndMalnutritionInME

Hello folks, I am in need of non-fiction recommendations for: + Indigenous histories (esp from Canada & the Philippines) + Black history + Black Studies + Queer histories (esp from Canada and the Philippines) + Radicalization + Critical Race Theory Signal boost pls.

I was at a public event years ago and was feeling faint. I sat on stairs with my partner tryna comfort me. When I felt better I had to report the employee who sat in his chair looking goofy while I suffered. Had I been white he would've helped but since I was a Black woman clearly in distress 🦗

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback. When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

Limits on sick leave are ridiculous to be honest, if you are actually sick, you shouldn't be working. It's not an entitlement thing, it's basic human decency.

Welp, there it is. Some Dr. Oz snake oil's going to "cure" autism.

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

To offer guidance on finding and interpreting infectious disease data during these confusing times, @betsyladyzhets.bsky.social talked to epidemiologist Caitlin Rivers about COVID-19, flu, and RSV data sources; interpreting data; Long COVID; ongoing bird flu concerns; and more. bit.ly/3KgWkK3

Shana tova, peeps. May it be a year of health, of safety, and of collective liberation. ❤️‍

I hope everyone’s wearing their one-piece swimming suit or wrestling unitard to bed. If it’s not skin tight, it could slip right off & you don’t want folks sinning in their minds on the way up surrounded by live nudes. No telling how early it could happen!

The thing about all of this as a ND person and as a person with an infection-associated chronic illness: all of this feels like a bad doctor's visit where the clinician swears that the most important thing is that you as the patient "feel heard" It's not. It's that the patient BE HELPED.

google has been trying for months to build a new data center not far from my house. tonight was the final city council meeting and they officially withdrew their proposal! the data center isn’t moving forward! public outrage works!!!

This would have messed with me SO BADLY as a kid. Might be time to release some demons tomorrow 😂

Diane Hennacy Powell, the "science advisor" behind the infamous Telepathy Tapes, has now created a nonprofit in her name to study the "insights of neurodivergence" (uh huh). She announced it on Rogan 2.0, AKA The Shawn Ryan Show. h/t Janyce Boynton

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

Very cool read on using mushrooms to amend and restore soil damaged in the Altadena fire.

I published this piece today, on how the binary gender model and enforced gender roles are a model of hierarchical child abuse that punishes everyone but the capitalists who run the system. It would mean a lot if you read it. This link is unpaywalled. Thank you. 💜 medium.com/prismnpen/wh...

There is a really good study recently that explores deeply how COVID-19 infections causes insulin resistance/glucose intolerance. Essentially diabetes. Sadly I can’t post it because it contains the word “vaccine”… 🤦🏻‍♀️

WGNTV: “Chicago POTS Walk targets $30,000 goal for research and raising awareness” “According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), POTS is now being diagnosed in some people who’ve experienced long COVID.” wgntv.com/news/chicago...

‘We are losing our archives. I mean this in the most literal of ways, as rising far right authoritarianism usurps and remakes the institutions that hold cultural memory and history; already filled with holes, they now feel like they could be obliterated into nothingness.’

This is unironically a lot worse than Jimmy Kimmel but you won't see 1/1000 of the outrage

BREAKING NEWS over in Inside Medicine: Censorship at the CDC. Again. Two dozen websites were removed, including resources for health equity, disability, and LGBTQ+ care. Here’s what we know:

they want us sick and tired so they can control us. they want us poor and unhoused so they can mistreat, imprison, and exploit free labor from us. they want us dead because they like eugenics.

How is long Covid going today? Well, just added vanilla to the list of food allergies, which is now over 60 foods I used to eat daily. Don’t get long covid.

If you did not boycott Disney for Palestinians but you are doing it for a rich white man, what does this say about your values?

I wrote about Rodney and Alma Bowman, a disabled woman who was held for 30 months during the first Trump regime. She was released, worked as a whistleblower to shut down the Irwin Detention Centre, and then ICE grabbed her again. Alma is also disabled and being held indefinitely:
