Trump saying that Tylenol causes autism leads me only to believe that Tylenol made a joke about him at the White House Press Corps Dinner in 2003

The truth is there are three kinds of people: the disabled, the pre-disabled, and the doomed to die suddenly. Most of us will be disabled at some point.

The guy pushing Leucovorin for autism (Frye) works closely and repeatedly with the guy who pushed heavy metal chelation for autism (Rossignol), a practice that has actually killed children.

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

hi yes everything is increasingly terrible but we all still have to live and find joy and safety where we can! it’s easy to only doompost, to just repost tragedies and various-temperature takes, but it’s important that you also live the other parts of your life. don’t let the fascists steal your joy

"President got a late night TV show canceled" seems like one of those stories that penetrates the public consciousnesses better than stuff like "president threatens the independence of the Federal Reserve"

it’s only 9:30 and I have bathed both 60-lb dogs and I feel like I should be exempted from any and all other physical labor today

there’s a reason fundie Christians flock to authoritarianism and it comes down to not being allowed to question authority—“god said it, I believe it, that settles it”

for the love of gd can someone recommend me a “stakes have been lower” non-romance? I just need something that won’t actively raise my blood pressure

it is no coincidence that the worst fuckin people u know are utterly incurious, proudly anti-science, and completely lacking any sense of humor

oh hey Kirkus had some really nice things to say about DON'T FORGET TO BREATHE, like that it is "a poignant and humorous neuroqueer romance" and "the hilarious and swoonworthy narrative is a joy to read." Zoe and Hanna will grace your shelves on 10/21! www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

Classroom #3 is asking for $422 to be filled with diverse, inclusive books. This is a historically underfunded school in Illinois where nearly **ALL** students are low income. Teacher has never been funded before. www.donorschoose.org/project/all-...

This morning, the United Nations Commission of Inquiry concluded that the Israeli government is committing genocide — affirming what Palestinians and experts have been saying for nearly two years.

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

This is How We Roll is OUT NOW!! I may not have my hardcover copies yet, but you can venture forth into the world and buy one for yourself! These twelve stories are all directly from the heart, and I’m so proud of all the hard work everyone put into this project. I can't wait for y'all to read it!

every adult who hears my youngest is now in pre-k: hehe oh my gosh I bet you just won’t even know what to do with yourself!!1! me: I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM GOING TO DO

Actual progressives are winning elections in deep red areas. GOP town halls are turning into yelling matches as their constituents tear them new assholes.

looking for recs for MG books to read to my 7 y/o at bedtime. I’m open to graphic novels but she reads a ton of those on her own and I’d prefer a prose-forward book with illustrations. she likes magic, friendship, cats, unicorns, school settings, girl characters. babies and poop jokes a plus.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MONTRESSOR

An alarming number of people in positions of power seem to be completely unable to distinguish good from evil as long as the evil is spoken in a reasonable tone of voice by a white man in a suit

have spent the last 12 hours in some sort of pre-grief for what's clearly coming, an imperial boomerang with x-ray vision now unconstrained by whatever law we had left

3. If you see content that disturbs you, immediately (or as fast as possible) go and play 20-30 minutes of Tetris (or any other fast-paced game with your eyes sweeping over the visual field that has caused visual artifacts to linger when you close your eyes for you in the past).

if that news is true, don't say anything you wouldn't want to see screenshotted and spread all over right wing media

sometimes being a stay at home mom is telling your kid to flush the toilet for the eighth while also stepping on a Lego on your way to make someone their third snack in 20 minutes, and sometimes it’s lying outside in 65° sunshine with a happy child tucked under your arm

extremely obvious answer here is Our Flag Means Death. it was always supposed to have three seasons!

my grandmother (b. 1922) didn’t like going to the doctor (almost went blind because of it) but her three kids got the polio vaccine goddammit because she had seen what it did

Mark your calendars and tell your friends: No Kings 2.0 on October 18. The sequel will be (and HAS to be) even bigger.

you know why Peaky Blinders is one of my favorite shows? sure the soundtrack slaps and Cillian Murphy goes so harder than any human alive, but also: it started out as a gritty period piece about a guy willing to do crime to take care of his family and became aggressively, explicitly antifascist

wow this is just “blood and soil” and “they will not replace us” with more words. this nazi fuck.

in george orwell's review of hitler's mein kampf he makes the point that fascism's breeding fetish is ultimately about providing an endless supply of conscripted child soldiers to feed into the meat grinder of perpetual total war and conquest

Women getting paid to work is the actual departure from the "trad" life, not women working.

if anyone needs a tiny breath of hope: I live on the SC/NC line, and the two historically very Trumpy houses I pass on a regular basis have both taken all their Trump flags/signs/etc down. that’s very much not nothing.

at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.

I just channeled Chili Heeler and announced to my family with zero irony that I needed ten minutes where no one bothered me

BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)

Writers, keep writing. Do not buy into the hype train telling you your job will be replaced in a few years. Those using AI are literally atrophying their brains ability to be creative. The future will need your words, your creativity, to function well. publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-fi...

I was a freshman when it happened, and the following years there was an unspoken ban on trench coats at my high school, and JNCOs were pushing it. because “you could hide a shotgun in the leg”

Happy birthday to me. I feel the least I can do with it is asking you - particularly non-Black PoC and white friends - to stand for something today. Give mutual aid. Speak out for what's right. Plant a seed of goodness even if you're worried it won't sprout. 🌻

Hey, I have had some questions about who is allowed to file. Here is the class certification:

This is how you do it.

taking their “cop” duty seriously I see

“the fuck is wrong with you” is good messaging. works on maga and morally vacant centrists. keeps you on message. there’s just one. the fuck is wrong with you.
