Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

"Hagiography" and "Groypers" are two words that I didn't know before this week.

@apnews.com Have seen a lot about the term #groyper in the past couple days on my socials but not in mainstream media, including your feed. Please cover this. apnews.com/article/fact...

It’s almost like there’s a pattern we should watch for more carefully.

Why isn’t every local news broadcast opening with, “What are the ‘Groypers’, and how do you know the signs of your son is part of the deadly gang?”

The Trump administration announced plans to roll back protections that had reserved millions of acres of public land for conservation and recreation.

If you see something graphic a thing you can do is not instinctively hit repost but take a few seconds and consider if everyone wants to be traumatized by that and choose not to be the person who forces it into their feed non consensually.

Me to my class before a holiday: "Have a good long weekend! Don't drink and drive, don't ride with someone who's been drinking!" Itʻs become my holiday catch phrase & students laugh at me by the end of the semester. But if one of them, one time, remembers, it's worth it.❤️ #LaborDay

I’ve been thinking about how in environments under resource threats like much of education, we move forward to address the most pressing shocks to our system. Climate change is shocking school infrastructure & learning w flooding, fires, smoke, heat. www.brookings.edu/articles/cli...

A friend had today a visa interview at a US embassy overseas. They were told their visa is pending a review of their social media posts. It’s just wild that visas to the USA are now conditional on not saying bad stuff about dear leader

Sleepy today cause I was up late binging this new book by @tkingfisher.com. I'm a huge fan of all her work but this dark (& funny) retelling of Snow White is now solidly among my faves. & audiobook narration is on point! Go get it, go get it, go!

When someone loses a beloved family member/friend/pet and you don't know details, please avoid saying "I hope they didn't suffer much" to the grieving person. The intention is kind, but if there was significant pain and suffering (which happens sometimes) your words become salt in a wound.

Continents are cool and all, but I want an emoji of Earth centered on the Pacific. 🌏🌎🌍🌊

no more educational material for your children. just poisonous right wing slop.

one of the single best deals in streaming. i've been paying for PBS Passport for years. it rules

if you’re a straight dude trying to figure out how to get laid, the people you should be listening to are your friends who are women, and if you don’t have any friends who are women, you should probably be focusing on solving that problem before you try to solve the getting laid problem.

Every minute we spend chasing or begging for their approval, acceptance, attention, or love-- even in our head-- is a minute we're not focused on who we are & what makes US focused & interested & excited & satisfied. And it's a minute we cannot afford.

Television Networks still bleep "Go Fuck Yourself" but not a man yelling "You Bitch" as he punches a woman in the face. #Illbepostfeminstinthepostpatriarchy

This afternoon, the Trump administration officially shut down the LGBTQ Youth Specialized Services program within the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The program allowed callers under 25 to speak with counselors trained to support LGBTQ youth, an option that has now been eliminated.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

When misogynists are trying to sleep with us they'll call a 15 year-old girl "young woman". When they're talking about us in the workplace they'll call a 50 year-old woman "girl".

BREAKING: We're suing the Trump administration for detaining immigrants at the notorious new Everglades detention center, cruelly dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz," in inhumane conditions without access to legal counsel.
