So, bluntly: Tylenol taken during pregnancy does not cause autism. However, there is a genetic link between headaches and autism. This means that if somebody has the genetics associated with autistic traits, they are more likely to get headaches during pregnancy. Doctors recommend Tylenol

Okay, so. If your GIF/video has strobe or flashing content in it (and large numbers of camera flashes count) please flag it as Graphic Content. @bsky.app could we possibly have a specific flag for this? I typically reveal Graphic Content, which makes flagging it of limited utility.

Anyone have a clue why an entire murder of crows would attack my poor little haworthia? They're non-toxic to birds. It's inside and appears to have survived being forcibly uprooted and tossed across the balcony because haworthia, but... All I can think of is I know somebody sampled the haworthia

So, on the wonderful right wing threat to institutionalize all transgender people in the country: There are an estimated 2.8 million transgender people in the U.S., not counting people who are closeted. 724,000 of them are teenagers. There are somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 inpatient mental

Tom and Jerry. The shining twins.

The Republicans are really trying here. They sent us sample ballots. (And they endorsed Audrey Clement? They want her? I mean, I know it's the GOP, but...)

So, took a look at the ACIP schedule. First of all, one breath of relief. They are NOT scheduled to do a review of the MMR vaccine. They are scheduled to do a review of the MMRV vaccine, which is the one that also contains varicella (chickenpox). MMRV has a higher risk of causing a fever and

On this planet, things I have not really thought of as an SF author. The tl;dr: These ants are somehow creating males of a different species and keeping them as sex slaves. phys.org/news/2025-09...

People in Virginia..Based on Youngkin's executive order, expect a nasty voter purge incoming. Check your registration now. Check it two weeks before the election.

Hanging around outside waiting for the doors to open at #SmallPressXpo

To give some idea on VAERS. In 2021 I fell off a horse and broke my hand less than a month after getting a COVID shot. I got the twisties. That wound up in the system because they ask about ANY issues that happen...even if they're obviously nothng to do with the shot.

Rare stillness. A special sighting: a female black-chinned hummingbird visited the habitat for the first time. #BlackChinnedHummingbird #bird #birdwatching #backyard-habitat #resistwithlove #nature #wildlifephotography #photography

My feed is suddenly nothing but books. This is not a complaint.

That was bad. That was abysmally bad. NOTHING works the way things work in that movie. It was like discussing science with MAGA. #SuperCyclone @cinemalpractice.bsky.social

And that piece of terribad science is what I was watching this movie for. #SuperCyclone @cinemalpractice.bsky.social

He's supposed to be struggling with the wheel. He just looks constipated. #SuperCyclone @cinemalpractice.bsky.social

I thought this was a storm movie #SuperCyclone @cinemalpractice.bsky.social

Time for a disaster movie! Specifically, Super Cyclone, in which a giant storm threatens to wipe out the western seaboard. Appears to be a very standard "Big weather phenomenon is defeated by SCIENCE!" flick. Appears to be very bad. @cinemalpractice.bsky.social

CVS pharmacies in Virginia are giving out COVID shots without a prescription. You just have to say you're eligible and give no further details.

So, important reminder! If you see a spotted lanternfly in the U.S., it is your civic and patriotic duty to do your level best to squash that bug. Kill it dead. They're invasive and they are extremely dangerous to native trees.

Charlie Kirk wasn't a free speech hero, as far as I can tell. He was a guy who loved a good debate, would debate anyone, and leveraged that into *claiming* he was about free speech. I love a good debate too, but I try to stick to things that won't hurt anyone, like the time I kicked a friend's

Vital information, such as and for example who to call when 911 is down should not be behind a paywall, spamwall, or advertising malware wall (adblocker blocker). (Yes, I run an adblocker and the more you ask me to remove it, the more I am sure you are using an unpoliced network that endangers

www.linkedin.com/pulse/gettin... I finally did it! Here's my article on the massive style sheet I made for Blue Planet: Recontact, created by @biohazardjeff.bsky.social. Thank you to @nadiageageapupa.bsky.social for encouraging me and @ninjafingers.bsky.social for editing this. 1/2

So, the MAHA report is out. From the summary, they intend to * Expand research into chronic disease prevention, nutrition and metabolic health, food quality, environmental exposures, autism, gut microbiome, precision agriculture, rural and tribal health, vaccine injury and mental health.

I think everyone should have the basic right to change their name, legally and or socially, whenever they want to, to whatever they want. Without anyone needing to know or care why. Also the right to use different names in different situations (which is religious for some people!)

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

Drafted up *another* short story, which wasn't meant to be a retelling of...well...maybe you'll find out when/if it was published.

This is what the forced birthers are trying to do in South Carolina: Make all abortions illegal "from conception" except if the mother is in imminent danger of dying. Make it illegal to provide any information about abortions to anyone in the state. This includes allowing anyone in SC to access

Okay. Shop relinked to website. Editing clips are back. Theme is the way I want it until I have the $$$ to hire somebody to make me a really nice one. (No pitches. I do not have the $$$)

@mattquirk.bsky.social Is Jeannette around? If not, can you post the KITTEN here?

So, yeah. Website is down for a while. I'm waiting for the nameserver to switch so I can put up a placeholder and then get my service pages back up. Book pages will have to wait a little longer. If you want to buy books from me directly... payhip.com/jenniferrpovey

I need to move my website immediately. Good hosting with WordPress that does NOT force an Ai website builder on me. Budget: As little as possible.
