*weeps* they forgot the egg and they still have no garlic bagel I feel like my girlfriend is breaking up with me but just can't spit it out we knew it wasn't forever but it feels premature

If you have autistic relatives for the love of GOD don’t invite them to a family only thing and then drop extra guests on them and make THEM feel like an asshole if they don’t want to come anymore. You’ve fundamentally changed the thing you’ve invited them to.

Michael Sheen is just. An exemplary human being in so many ways

☀️Good morning fellow healthcare providers & associates! Don’t forget, it doesn’t matter that it’s Monday…every day is STFU Friday when you’re serving vulnerable minority clients So remember, when it comes to tasks outside your normal routine & queer/ND/BIPOC people, you need to be mindful of intent

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care. My latest for Democracy Docket lays out the case. Sign up now to access this and all premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

It’s not a refusal to re-enter society. It’s not shaping your life around Covid avoidance. It’s adaptation. It’s a desire to protect health. It’s being willing to accept that things change, and masking & clean air are the way forward. Mass death & disability is not normal

Muppet’s Christmas Carol is such a stunning piece of work. Just a masterpiece from start to finish.

I see your taking yourself very seriously on the bluesky application, would you like some water and a little nap

“why are women using ai less than men” bc our ideas have to actually be good

This month's Patreon wallpaper is for my brother who's getting married, and also for Natsume Soseki's I AM A CAT. www.patreon.com/c/Shaenon

sorry to have to say this but even if you read something I said neutrally as insulting to you personally it is still not my job to manage that emotional reaction for you

I think what I’m picking up on is that actors who do such deep, difficult character work likely need to have some sort of vicarious trauma (or similar) prevention It makes sense that this type of work could worsen underlying trauma & mental health issues So sad 😞

Hoping you all have a warm, light filled Longest Night from my little family to yours

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

"I'd be gone for days at a time. I was lonely in that part of my life. I was broke, broken and beat up. Exhausted. Empty. I finally said, 'I can't do this no more.' I didn't want to end up dead," I can’t help but remember how this other phenomenal talent in The Wire also died a death of despair 🙁

We lost Michael K. Williams (Omar on The Wire) to an overdose in 2021. Didn't he talk about how filming that was traumatic and triggering? I can't find an article now but...this news of this sad story made me think of that sad story. 🙁

It’s one of those days where I am busy and say, gosh! I have a splitting headache! I look at the clock, and realize I’ve been awake for 8 hours with zero calories and only 24 oz of Alani energy to drink. Gee. It’s a mystery! ✨

This is my 2025 accomplishment and I can't wait to tell y'all some more about the plans for 2026 🫶🏻

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE. www.npr.org/2025/12/20/n...

This is the sweetest thing and I hope they keep hanging out periodically

For anyone interested:

Congressional investigation now.

Tylenol doesn't cause autism you're just giving us all a fucking headache

Congrats to Australia, this is really cool! report.cervicalcancercontrol.org.au

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

actually I changed my mind, I love celebrity boxing matches now. I think everyone I hate should do them, because I'm really enjoying watching the worst people on earth get their shit rocked

tfw a picture that was illegally taken at a former workplace (NOT by me) is encountered in the wild as a meme 🫢

ugh, co-signed 💯 and we could learn a thing or two from how one MANAGES such a unit when it comes to how we handle people who assault other people &/or lie about it

vaccines don't cause autism but you should get them anyway

This is my 2025 accomplishment and I can't wait to tell y'all some more about the plans for 2026 🫶🏻

It's your birthday, Duane.

Treating pedophilia & sexual assault crisis in the US as if “beheading it will kill the monster” is naive & short sighted The #MeToo response tells us that this abuse is PERVASIVE & broadly unsafe to report as the chances of justice are slim & the risk to self is great.

I feel like that makes it worse, bc it underscores that it's not just (using just loosely) RFK Jr randomly being a conspiracy addled eugenicist wackjob -- this catastrophe was coordinated and had the backing of the conservative legal movement

he realized he is also in the epstein files

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love. youtu.be/KIxAKyioXng

AUTISM SIMULATOR FEATURES 1) People tell you you’re wrong about your basic internal experience for a couple hours “No, it isn’t itchy. The lights aren’t too bright. It’s not loud. You’re being too sensitive. It’s not that crowded. It’s not that big of a deal. It wouldn’t hurt you to look at me.”

How the nyt used the Cass report to restart its anti-trans propaganda campaign in the US: Coverage of the report was initially assigned to a nyt UK correspondent, usual practice for a UK report. The story being prepared cited critics who called Cass a shoddy, political document that defied science

At least 25 men reached secret settlements to avoid responsibility in the Trump/Maxwell/Epstein abuse. “If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class” -ꜰɪɴᴀʟ ꜰᴀɴᴛᴀꜱʏ ᴛᴀᴄᴛɪᴄꜱ, 1997

Bringing back a classic that people got really mad at me for saying 6 months ago

A miniblogger tale as old as time: OP: This terrible but relatively small thing happened, single post, less than 300 characters Commenter: HEY! THIS is an only a tiny example of a huge problem. HOW ABOUT INSTEAD you address EVERY single aspect of the larger problem w/ APA citations in your post!?!

they don't care about life more people have died in ICE custody than will die from vaccine injury and murderous immigrants combined they don't care about Autistic people they try to pretend we adults don't exist & slash medicaid for our most needy they don't care about life just money

Would you like to see a really cool graph? I love cool graphs. This one compares vaccine rates to mortality rates. Pretty cool, right?

When my family member was a teen I remember pouring over the academic literature about how binders are a million percent (hyperbole) safer & lead to substantially improved mental health outcomes So no top surgery, no hormones, no binders A death sentence for some

My fave: "vaccines don't cause autism, but you should get them anyway."

Text to speech and spellcheck are not generative, hope that helps clear up any "fuzzy" lines.

I mean if we’re judging by the Gordon that I know, this beta version includes support for home repair & maintenance, car problems, and antique buying Gordon will also curse out anybody who poses a threat to you regardless of how you feel about it, and he won’t ask many questions before doing so

You can’t stop people from binding by decree. You can only stop them from doing it safely.

3yo: “daddy’s phone is in his pocket!” me: “that’s true!” 3yo: “why isn’t mummy’s phone in her pocket?” me: “… buckle up, kiddo, we’re gonna discuss five hundred years of fashion and misogyny”

Yet another example of why you might not submit a complaint The risk outweighs the justice you can reasonably expect
