Virtually all articles critical of universal basic income that are based on some guaranteed income pilot result neglect to mention the results of any 'saturation site' pilots that actually make a point of testing universal distribution. UBI is universal, and universality tests never fail to impress.

No matter how old I get, it’ll never be less frustrating. If it’s that important, how would I know? If it’s unimportant, why ask? #AdopteeLife

"The Children of Silence" - Chilean babies stolen and adopted by Europeans, thanks to Pinochet. 🥚 #adopteesky edition.cnn.com/2025/09/16/a...

🥚Adoption statistics declined rapidly in the early 1970s when “juvenile delinquents” at Training Schools were under investigation.

...I was academic families 'cause my dad was a physicist. So my mum and dad were English and they moved up just before... um, well I was going to say before I was born, but I was acquired because I was adopted. K T Tunstall, being interviewed by Craig Ferguson on his podcast 🥚

A new bill proposed by Foreign Affairs committee to expand the definition of trafficking to include orphaned, abandoned, and minors in private or public residential facilities. 🥚 #adopteesky

For some years now, I’ve maintained a list of sources related to adoptee-focused research, critical adoption studies, and loosely related topics that intrigue me. In time, I’ll recreate the thread of items below, but the document is a better starting point. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Psychologically, mastery really develops in teen years. Does the trauma of adoption hinder mastery’s development? I was unaware I learned early on in my life there was nothing I could do to control where I lived, who I lived with or what happened to me.🥚 #Love pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

In Canada, proposed cuts of 15% across the federal government would have a dramatic effect on already globally decimated research & science. Join Canada's research & science community and tell PM Mark Carney to preserve the funding promised in 2024. Send a letter: win.newmode.net/canadianasso...

The Government of Canada's Response to the Senate of Canada's recommendations. Not much has happened. Coerced relinquishment is still forced relinquishment. No apology forthcoming. www.originscanada.org/time-to-ackn... sencanada.ca/content/sen/... sencanada.ca/content/sen/... #AdoptionIsTrauma

@karenhao.bsky.social, I love your work with @hasanminhaj.com What are your thoughts on adoptees who have no choice but to provide their personal DNA to a corporation b/c the government keeps our own identity from us? It’s the only way we know our biological relations. 🥚 vt.tiktok.com/ZSD2sGmSu/

🥚 That wasn't 'forced adoption.' That was kidnapping. My blood boils thinking of the people who would do this to others. They judge an unwed mother, believing that she is somehow morally inferior, that she is not capable of raising her own child. The propaganda of religion and of the industry.

Why is relinquishment trauma ignored in ACE Scores? 🥚

🥚"Previous data from Femicide Census suggests far fewer women are killed by adopted sons than biological sons - three, as opposed to 172, over the period of the earlier study."

What are you advocating for?

UK - More women were killed by their son than by a stranger, according to new figures from a campaign group looking at violence against women. Of 121 women killed by men in 2022, 12 were killed by their sons and 11 were killed by someone they did not know. www.bbc.com/news/article...

🥚💔 Another, in a horribly long line of children, who are being murdered. From Foster Care to adoption, it keeps happening. She was 4 ft tall, 45 lbs, at 9 years of age when murdered. Imagine the hell that was her life. I look at her face and I can't help but to start crying. This has to stop.

🥚 I heard the author describe her book today and now have to read it: "A Flower Traveled in My Blood: The Incredible True Story of the Grandmothers Who Fought to Find a Stolen Generation of Children" by Haley Cohen Gilliland (2025) 512 pages + 1/ www.simonandschuster.com/books/A-Flow...

🥚 The obituary of psychiatrist Robert J. Lifton, who died yesterday, includes a link to the 2010 obituary of his wife, adoptee author B.J. Lifton, which I'm posting here. Her book "Twice Born" (1975) influenced many adoptees.... + www.nytimes.com/2010/11/27/u...

🥚Grueling process retrieving records from the Mercer Reformatory. Sometimes descendants reach out after finding a relative in a census—with a baby! Yet access requests are denied under the YCJA. What!?! Ontario maintained the age of delinquency under 16 in the JDA until the YOA.

Just learned my story “Infant Of” - about talking with my #adoptive mother about wanting to search for my #birthmother was shortlisted for The Letter Review Prize for NonFiction. It is an excerpt from my forthcoming #memoir - Thank you Letter Review. letterreview.com/the-letter-r... 🥚

This also applies whenever ppl refer to the Hague Convention in terms of #adoption 🥚

First Bernie Sanders. Then the CDC directors. Now, more than 1,000 current and former HHS staffers are demanding he step down.

Please, someone help him understand he doesn’t need to declare war on his own city to win. He could win the war in Ukraine (and take all the credit he wants) just by changing a few simple policies.

The results of the vote by #AirCanada flight attendants will be announced today. The largely gendered workforce is considering rejecting the deal that maintains pay inequality, a key reason flight attendants went on strike last month. ricochet.media/labour/as-co... #cdnpoli #unpaidworkwontfly

When @picardonhealth.bsky.social asked me about the impact of vaccine access on public health, as usual I was direct. “I have nothing but contempt for what is going on in the U.S.,” Dr. Rasmussen said. “The policies are destructive. Limiting access to vaccines will cause people to die.”

So now whenever Krazy Kristi Noem goes on television and makes shit up, not only won't she be called out on it, but @cbsnews.com will prevent its own journalists from preventing her authoritarian propaganda from airing on the network thehill.com/homenews/med...

When vicious compliance turns to precious contrivance. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/edit... #BookBan

i don't think a lot of you understand what's happening. if they can declare transgender people mentally ill, then they can do it for anyone. and they will. they'll say homosexuality is an illness. they'll say women have hysteria. all the old invented pseudoscience will return in service to them.

The wolf guarding the hen house says roosters are not to be trusted.

A federal jury has ordered Google to pay $425.7 million for improperly snooping on people's smartphones during a nearly decade-long period of intrusions.

One global pact quietly changed the course of our planet’s future. Not only did it help heal the ozone layer, but it’s also reversing the impacts of climate change. Wondering how? Our article explains: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

In the UK, there is a proposal from Greenpeace to nationalize the fossil fuel power plants, run them as a regulated asset fleet, and wind them down in favor of renewables.

It was a difficult night in Ukraine t.me/mon1tor_ua/5...

Almost one million remain in the city; those who flee risk death elsewhere in enclave, with no safe place to hide.

Why was the cheesemonger angry? He had a brie in his bonnet!

This idea is slowly creeping into Canada. Never mind that it’s against the Criminal Code of Canada, putting a baby in a drop box at a fire hall is likely endangering its health &/or is likely to be permanently injurious. #Neurobiology #Trauma laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-4...
