Not my organ grinder, not my dubious sausages.

youtu.be/qabmngqxPtc?... With all the Autism bullshit today, this sprang to mind. No, steeling ourselves isn't healthy...but sometimes we need to be the rock on which everything else breaks. Be safe, be strong #ActuallyAutistic folx.

Welp, I guess it's time to relaunch our 2018 "Reproduction Causes Autism" t-shirt campaign—because anyone claiming otherwise is selling something, and/or holding a major US government position. Proceeds to benefit @autisticadvocacy.org. www.bonfire.com/reproduction... #autism #neurodiversity

Gonna pop a Tylenol and look at some trains to see what all the fuss is about.

“We can’t air our show about killing white supremacists. I mean, one of them just died! We should be more sensitive toward white supremacists in their time of mourning a white supremacist!”

Cw filicide I think some reporters really need to learn about the Disabled Day of Mourning. Some parents of autistic kids despise them so much they kill them. This is how deadly ableism (and lack of social supports) can be. Our articles do not need to feed into ableism.

Here's an example of an AI position situated in a library that I just saw go out. What stands out to you? You know what stands out to me? This salary: $126,000 – $136,000. You know who isn't usually making that? People doing the actual work of libraries. apply.interfolio.com/172379

Do you understand that a huge portion of the wellness podcaster and influencer community is now going to be paid to push folic acid as a treatment for autism despite no actual evidence for it. This is a windfall for the supplements industry. It's all a grift.

I'm seeing variations on this joke a lot, and while I chuckle at it - autistic moms exist in droves, y'all, and a truly staggering number of them only got their own diagnoses in the last five years, and only after their kids were assessed. it's truly not just a Boy Thing. ♾️

but to be clear, forcing a mother to endure fever, pain, and discomfort in pregnancy out of some sadistic puritan/patriarchal/misogynist bullshit will have no effect on neurotype. acetaminophen does not cause autistic people, autistic people cause autistic people.

People would scoff when I called them orange conservatives. But that seems to be our choices, orange conservatives or far right authoritarians. We have no actual left wing parties in the province.

Vaccines cause adults Tylenol causes pain relief Neurodiversity is good

At some point during my lifetime, it became acceptable to use "pet" instead of "petted," and I have to say it is quite disconcerting in verbal English, and near horrifying in written. I acknowledge this is a me thing, but still it feels world-shatteringly incorrect. Like I jumped timestreams.

Might as well make this clear now for people who haven't known me on social media for around a decade: I do not center non-Autistic people when talking about Autisticness. I do not particularly care what non-Autistic people think about Autisticness, except insofar as it harms Autistic people.

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in. Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol. It's like his work never happened.

Spent the weekend being misgendered by my parental units, having my nibling questioned by the parental units, and cowering because my province and 40+ years of abuse have led me to hide rather than be more open/confrontational. I wish we didn't need survival mechanisms that leave us hurt and empty.

Nope. Got it from Both Sides. I like Trains AND Models. ...And I work in IT.

For a long time, I recommended books I loved as a way to get people to stop being so narrow minded. When they did, they took from those books what they wanted, wholly twisting what the narrative was, just to maintain their worldview. Reading is great, but cannot counter indoctrination by itself.

I would argue that doing such both throws people under the bus, and puts undue pressure on those not immediately run over. That's on top of just degrading yourself to appeal to those that, at best, will abuse you so long as you appear useful, and discard you when you aren't/they have a fit of pique

Also, autistic behavior has been described throughout pretty much the entire history of human civilization. It's almost like (see also: transgenderism) they just want to pathologize and demonize any naturally-occurring variation in humanity that doesn't conform to their narrow standards.

It obviously gives you autism because Kenvue (the owner of Tylenol) failed to perform the rigorous 'scientific' study in which they present the President of the United States with a truck load of money and/or a golden statue /s

On Trump, autism and tylenol: A student I was talking to today had it exactly right on this latest White House bullshit claim “It’s at the perfect intersection of hating disabled people and wanting women to be in pain” There’s not only no link, the claim is both ableist and misogynist.

I'm firmly on the side of autism in this war on autism.

Trump is calling autism “out of control” No… Autism stigma is out of control Ableism is out of control Inaccessibility to basic healthcare and support is out of control

I'm not sure what "Fully Blown" Autism is, but given how much of what Republicans say is related to sex, I assume they either don't want people participating in oral sex ...or they think Autistics get way more than I think any of us actually do as very few of us seem "fully blown" all the time.

I’m honestly so tired of the BS around autism and ‘cause’. I’m yet to see a single case where their motive behind ‘finding the cause of autism’ wasn’t embedded in eugenics. If somebody goes on about finding the cause of autism, always ask why they are seeking it.

The worst purveyors of anti-science and (not coincidentally) ableist medical conspiracies are frontline medical "professionals." Yes I used quotes, because they're anything but professional. And yes, it's why I don't call 911 and have avoided using my epipens when I probably should have.

I am excited to announce the answer to autism! The answer is YES!

For the back row on this day

It is very clear that Trump/Republicans wants to use Alberta to force annexation and the UCP is actively aiding them.

Trump mentioned the memorial for Charlie Kirk in Calgary. "... in Calgary, Canada, thousands gathered at City Hall to sing the American national anthem and raise up posters with the name Charlie Kirk." So you know they're going to increase their recruiting in Canada.

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

Here we go... Ugh. Reality: 1) No evidence to support (and evidence that counters) this take. 2) "Increase" in autism largely about reporting, awareness, & diagnosis (obviously). Trump administration set to tie Tylenol to autism risk, officials say www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

this includes not asking if anyone can make an indie's designs somewhere else for cheaper blockhammer getting a right old workout today!

Look at academia giving me a little hope

I am PRETTY SURE the only artist we have involved on bluesky is @snowbringer.bsky.social but their piece is a BANGER & u really need to see it in person SO come to the art gallery showcase tooooooo

Hiiii this is ur reminder to plz come to our film screening tomorrow!! #yql

I am assuming, at this point, that those using it know this, and they'll charge you for abortion in states that's a crime.

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

Danielle Smith often calls herself the most 'freedom-loving' politician in Canada, yet she's repeatedly infringed on your fundamental human rights. Her actions are simply cruel, wrong, and politically motivated. youtu.be/QSt_msI0ayo

I need #MutualAid to help me and my dog survive. I'm almost out of his food and an unexpected bill put me in overdraft If someone could help out and buy his food I'd be forever grateful www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/...

If you are able you can also help me financially to cover my overdraft ($150) and cover food for the rest of the month #MutualAidRequest paypal.me/crippledscholar ko-fi.com/crippledscho... buymeacoffee.com/crippledscholar
