Really important article which quotes an okay pediatrician.

Pill-shaming is ableism. It derives from poor science literacy and pseudoscientific health ideology borne out of the early evolution of the wellness industry. There's no shame in accepting medication.

I am shocked and disgusted that Twitter/X allows criminal cyber-harassment of users against its own terms of service. The world will never be a better place as long as these baseless attacks are permitted.

🧵 I’m often asked why I feel RFK and MAHA are ignorantly & dangerously ableist. What are autism & disability micro-aggressions spewing from MAHA? Or are they macro & visible to the untrained eye? The autism-Tylenol press conference was a profoundly painful gut-punch for most in autistic community.

When I was a kiddo, the backseat game was SLUGBUG. Driving to Seattle in the early 70’s, we got to 72. Ouch. In 2025, it could easily be Teslas instead. Let’s call it SLUGMUSK.

Anna Paulina Luna didn’t want to talk to her constituents. So I did.

Imagine believing your child was “killed” just because they don’t identify with the sex they were born with. A real father would love their child unconditionally.

RFK, Jr's Children's Health Defense just took down their illegal, dangerous mock CDC site. Someone should do time to for this. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/h...

When following the headlines fills me with despair, it's comforting to cuddle with a family member who remains blissfully unconcerned about fascism. That would be Trixie (a/k/a Bat-Mite).

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
