Just remember RFK and his kids are vaccinated. And statistically speaking his mother and the mother of his children probably took Tylenol. …now if there was a suspected link between having taken those things and turning into an RFK, I might actually avoid them.

YES. Exactly what I have been saying. if 80% of the ASD people you interact with are highly functioning. You make assumptions when you see that diagnosis on the paperwork and mistakes happen. Which is what happened to my brother in the hospital. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/o...

This article does a decent job explaining the societal changes to ASD over the years that make it appear as growing. But it misses in many places a ASD diagnosis comes with additional funding. Also that it was considered a male only problem until about 15 years ago www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/h...

This is where I think the autism diagnosis is dangerously too broad. There is a big difference between profound autism, and what historically was known as Asperger‘s. Parents will try this hoping for behavioural changes, its only been looked at for verbal improvement www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/w...

Oh yay. So now that we totally know what causes autism everyone can now go get fully vaccinated without any issue right? *crickets* I mean that's what this was about right? Children's health and wellbeing. Saving lives. *crickets* (It was never about that)

Right. What they’re saying is being YOU (autistic) is just so unimaginably horrible that it’s not worth the risk. It is better if hundreds or thousands of babies die from preventable diseases than to risk a vaccine generating one of you. Don’t we love that? (If you can’t tell I’m seethingly mad)

LOUDER for the mamas in the back: Nothing you did caused autism.

There is demonstrably far more evidence that vaccinations cause super geniuses than autism. Absolutely the same is said for Tylenol. Why? Because with actual scientific certainty without those things more people die. No one can be a super genius if they are dead.

hi, medical toxicologist that knows a lot about Tylenol here👋 Claiming that tylenol use in pregnancy causes autism is fearmongering here's what you need to know 🧵

Make sure the mamas in your life hear this LOUD AND CLEAR today, nothing you did caused your child to have autism. Mom’s have always been blamed. (Once dads but that debunking actually stuck) Reasons my mother has been given since 1984 for why her son is autistic: (a thread)

Oh…now we can add Tylenol to the list. Yep totally explains the genetic component there too. How nice.

“It’s 10pm do you know where your children are” Yep. They’re on the couch madly debating the laws of the age of consent when time travel is in play.

“If there was hope, it must lie in the proles”

I just received a copy of my child’s “permanent record” and am still salty that in grade 1 the principal decided her 1 day a week gifted pull out program was NOT an excused absence. She was with a teacher who was teaching her to print while reading immunology and neuroscience text books. ABSENT!

A friend was saying her nephew in Germany in year 13 is now receiving 2 hours a week in “war prep” at school. I’d like to understand more. Is this always a thing or a new thing? Should we be concerned? or supporting?

"All of these types of things, I'm sorry, that doesn't tell me that Canada is passionate about this relationship in the same way that we are," Trump's ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, said this week. <-yeah that sounds rather gaslighty toxic relationshipy speak www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Can we have like a reverse referendum where all the other provinces get to vote if we want to keep Alberta or not?

For God's sake, Canada's notwithstanding clause shouldn't be used to harm the most marginalized in our society, it should only be used passive aggressively by Quebec to protest the Constitution Act of 1982

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Hey Canada, can we require vaccines at our borders? Like we did for Covid in the beginning? Because I don’t want the Canadian healthcare industry to cripple because of the American originating measles outbreak.

Does anyone have an “Everything But American News” stream? I like being generally informed but OMG America.

I’ve always liked Canada’s line in the sand between free speech and hate speech. In the US that line is about explicit encouragement of violent acts. But in Canada, the line is between offensive expression (which is protected) and vilification (which is not).

Maybe, just maybe, there should be …oh I don’t know… a single program offered by VCH that targets needle phobia and/or vaccine hesitancy. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/09/17/a...

I’m just here to brag. My youngest who is dyslexic and dyscalculia just completed math assessment and tested out at performing at 80% of grade 8 level. She’s 12. “her diagnosis must be wrong” Nope. We just taught her math using song...and it worked. Thank you musical theatre.

So in Canadian immigration applications you get a lot of extra points for being very educated. And as we have recently found out, some of the very smart Americans we have worked with over the years unexpectedly moved to Canada over the summer. Anecdotal evidence, could be a cluster…but yeah.

My 14yo has convinced her whole group of friends to torment their families by trying to spontaneously “drop the west coast Canadian accent” purely by pronouncing all the Ts in the middle of words.

The best time to build affordable housing is always 20 years ago. Today is 20 years ago for our children now moving out then and for our parents now who will be retiring then. Now will be 20 years ago.

New kid in my daughter’s class, discovered his dad and my husband know each other from work. Dads chatting “I thought you were based in the US?” “Family immigrated to Canada over the summer“ *knowing silence* Well, he was always one of the smartest guys my husband had worked with

I never understood why these giant mansions with lush yards get to be across from public parks. Douglas Park should be surrounded by apartments.

proselytizing and conversing are not the same thing

Hey Tofino, just made sure you have an exemption for distilled water ok? It’s not made for drinking but for medical needs, would hate to see that get accidentally swept up in this www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

As a person WITH mobility issues: B AND E / F PLEASE I want to drive, park somewhere and then roll in and around OR hire a rickshaw to get where I want to go Right now I can’t get parked and have no way to safely make the trek back to where I need to be vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/09/12/s...

14yo puts butter on piping hot pancake Watched butter melt rather quickly “Wow that was like watching a timelapse in real time”

Clearly a male take on this story. This isn’t really about waittimes. This is commonly how women’s health is not always taken seriously. Maybe a fairer system to makeup for this known medical bias is to fast track women’s treatment once they do get diagnosed vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/09/11/s...

I am so tired, I should really sleep But that brings tomorrow and with it more work So instead I will put off tomorrow coming by laying awake watching cat videos Because Logic.

I feel like this might not be the original source but THIS is the perspective I felt like I was missing on the whole immigration raid thing. www.facebook.com/share/r/1BBu...

Hmm. Are we sure about that? It feels like we probably need better algorithms to determine demand and also flexible classroom placement. For example the lab space is only needed once a week but class space is needed twice a week. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/09/09/b...

I have lived in kitsilano for 5 years. I never witnessed nor been a victim of crime here (Other than traffic violations) Also legitimately have never seen a single police officer on our streets in that time. don’t think the presence of one causes the other. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/09/08/v...

Yes, I legitimately did give my kids iphones after they got their first Period. Because getting your period sucks, and it never gets better. A smart phone makes it a tiny bit more bearable.

Male parent: when did you give your kids their first phones? Me: uhhhhh 11 and 13 period presents male parent: wait, that’s a thing? Me: well. Yeah. it was like the third feature they learned to use 1) text 2) phone 3) period tracker 4) music. kids friends: THATS how you know when your period is?

I need to be educated in how the US tax system is set up. Because if all these workers at these large organizations in the US are undocumented, then somewhere in the tax system companies aren’t reporting all the info? or does everybody get an SSN regardless of status? I am misunderstanding something

Oookay simmer down This has always been true. My dad lectured me about this since I started highschool. The economic foundation of our country is ONLY sustainable with big birthrates or ever increasing immigration which isn’t sustainable. I was told “plan for no pension fund and too full care homes”

I have a second hand tesla I think we got it over 5 years ago. we do NOT take care of it, it sits dirty as all heck and ugly looking but goes from point a to b. We can either drive it into the ground or replace it (with a different EV) and both have their own appeal. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ok agriculture workers are not under temporary foreign workers. What about creating some training policy that temporary workers can fill a niche for only 5 years until such point either wages need to increase or companies need to offer free training? Just brainstorming www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Can BC partner with them? Help our neighbours out? Be an honorary member? I feel like this is a movement we should support since not all our neighbours are on the same page *glares at alberta*

OMG. I can’t believe I had to say this again today but: FEED CHILDREN. And if that kiddo is neurodivergent and starves themselves for literal days if not given one of their safe foods, give them the ultra processed froot loops or chicken nuggets. Shockingly, FED is better than DE*D.

Screens are NOT addictive, some uses of them can be. Studies have been done about screen based education and some show positive results. Switching sitting at a desk in class to in front of a computer is pretty 1 for 1 and can create more time for outdoor activity. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
