Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

We have come a long way with medicine. Pain is not something that people "just have to live with" anymore and it is certainly not something that anyone "deserves." Pain control should be accessible for everyone.

Alright, we understand it's ridiculous that pregnant women are being discouraged from using Tylenol... Now we just need to take that a bit further & consider how tough it is for people with chronic pain to get adequate pain management & how stigmatized their meds are. Everyone deserves pain control.

Autism does not need to be cured! It's the rest of society that needs to be more accommodating!! Neurodivergence and disabilities cause suffering only because we have so little understanding or support. Treating it as something "broken" or "wrong" only enforces that, please just help people instead.

My lafufus are ready for spoopy season. 👻

They'll fight Tylenol before gun control and poverty

"I exist" whoa slow down why are you bringing politics into this

I know it's hard to do but you have to tune out the constant & I mean constant torrent of criticisms on social media re: activism & organizing. If you don't, it can stop you from trying to do any activism or organizing. Most of the critics aren't doing any organizing themselves so keep trying things

"Don't speak ill of the dead" being made into an unbreakable commandment by a culture that has done so much to shame away and erase any connection to ancestors in the cultures it oppresses is absolutely infuriating.

Acetaminophen/paracetamol use in pregnancy doesn't cause autism, no matter what RFK says this week. This is not an unsettled question. Evidence summarized here: sciencebasedmedicine.org/tylenol-and-...

When our baby was sick with flu/asthma screaming in pain & puking from inflammation in his lungs, Children’s Tylenol was the only thing that visibly made him feel better. It’s state child abuse to sow needless doubt in scared new parents that might cause them to withhold that relief from their kids

BREAKING: there is egg nog at the grocery store

noticing more "oh so you hate waffles?" style randomly aggro replies these days. winter is coming

If you’re capable but refuse to mask re: COVID, you’re doing MAGA-style anti-science & anti-justice bullshit. Research shows the longterm effects are grim & it most harms vulnerable groups. Harming & discarding them is fascist, whether done via policy or via a maskless face. Mask up. Mutual aid:

If you’re canceling subscription services with giant companies with ties to terrible people, you should think about replacing them with a library card. Many library systems give you access to physical media (some of which you can’t find on streaming!) as well as other great stuff.

Imagine living in the Stuart Little universe. I think a mouse wearing people clothes and driving a tiny car would be the least of your worries. What if cats could wield chainsaws? Think about that.

“ill see you in valhalla” is not something i would ever say in memory of a friend. its something i would say to a $28 Hamburger

just saw a cottage cheese commercial that shows two teens eating cottage cheese while gaming. it’s possible that i’m out of touch with today’s youth but i don’t know about that one

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

“Not punk as in music or fashion but punk as in community and caring and doing it yourself and also music and fashion too if you want.” 🫡

I went outside today to a punk rock flea market and a vendor asked if I wanted free stickers and then immediately started complimenting my lafufu. 💜

Do I think bsky is perfect? Gods no. Have I been around the entire internet and think it’s still the best we got at this point in time so maybe we should try and fight and make it work? Absolutely. Also have a website for people to bookmark. Reminder to myself to update my website.

I just called Disney+ to cancel my account and had the most joyful interaction with an operator who was laughing the entire time about how many people had canceled today. I can only imagine how it feels to spend an entire day witnessing how many people want to stop fascism.

The saying “more than you can shake a stick at” doesn’t make sense to me. I can shake my stick at one thing. I can shake my stick at an infinite number of things. The amount of things does not determine my stick shaking ability.

Spent the last 2 weeks learning about peer support work. Today, I dive into learning about palliative care so that I can better support people with grief. Everything is terrible but things do actually feel a little bit less bad once you start trying to help others or learn new skills to help others.

Openly naming what is happening, grasping that there is no returning to a status quo that already sucked and laid the groundwork for this fascist moment, means having to accept reality and also offer solutions that will change things. It can be frightening, but that's our only hope.

Someone in my building seems to have purchased a lizard because crickets keep randomly appearing in my apartment. There is one under my stove right now. So now I am obviously going to have to get a lizard to catch the escape artist crickets that were supposed to be eaten by the Original Lizard.

Going outside but shaking my head the whole time so people know I don’t agree with what’s going on

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

this is not the end of days sorry you don’t get to crawl under the covers and wait for death to come. you and i have to find a fight to join *even if that fight isn’t won in our lifetimes* because we aren’t so fucking special that we get to take our ball and go home

just going to say if you’re cancelling disney+ or another streaming service to boycott ABC, please consider donating that money to any of the trans people needing mutual aid right now. finding work as a trans person as hard. a lot of us are fighting for survival every day and even $5 helps so much

Donate to mutual funds. Take a first aid course. Offer to help others with yard work or errands. Check in on your friends, family & vulnerable community members. Contact your senator. Help out at a food bank. Do not give up. The road is long & small positive actions ripple outward.

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

The cool thing about being an adult is- you can nap literally whenever you want and no one can stop you. The only thing is, the phone is going to ring every time. That’s just science.

new in the shop: the collage series of pendants and worry stones + swirly earrings nora.jewelry #bsnm

Preventing illness is a HUGE way to protect the people who fascists want to kill. If you want to survive and stand against fascism, if you want as much energy as possible TO stand against it, and if you want as many allies in the struggle to survive as possible, wear respirators in public.

disabled peeps tried to telling y'all that one of the reasons they wanted let covid rip was to weaken populaces so they couldn't fight their fascist plans.

Wear a face mask when you go out in public- if for no other reason than knowing that they want you too sick, too exhausted and too burned out from dealing with back to back respiratory infections to speak up for yourself & your community. You deserve to protect your health.

it gives us no pleasure etc etc

Bruh

no new pictures, where are you at mentally?

My mom keeps dinosaur figures outside to scare off raccoons who want to steal her garbage. She sent me a photo today. A large toad has found one of the dinosaur figures and befriended it. They are besties now.

[after looking at the news] well, it's time to go and do something relaxing like watch horror movies for the rest of my life

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

(gritting teeth) critical support to jimmy kimmel

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

I believe this to my core. They're using trans people as a test case to dismantle individual rights in the US.

This needs to be a new series.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but, you can put a coffee pot in any room that you want. Nobody can stop you.
