Trying to catch up on socials. The weather shifted just shy of a month ago and the October Slide began... and hasn't let up. This is the worst one I've ever experienced, the symptoms are debilitating and I'm missing out on work hours because I just can't function half of the time. Need more spoons.

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.

Thank you, @jimzub.bsky.social , it was a pleasure to finally meet you! Definitely a highlight of this Gamehole Con.

I didn't know Rob directly, but did cross paths with him at Gamehole Con a few times. He was always very warm and kind. This is a tragic loss for the whole industry. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Eight months after the Department of Government Efficiency effort to shrink the federal workforce began, some agencies are hiring workers back – and spending more money than before.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

A TRC Day listicle for CBC. Enough books here to keep you going through the winter. "These books helped me understand the willfulness of that not knowing and peoples' willingness to believe other stories about those schools." www.cbc.ca/books/patty-...

Today is National Day of Remembrance. We mourn our ancestors who died in the Indian Boarding Schools during the U.S. government's means to assimilate my people then. It remains a difficult day for us especially given the historic traumas we still endure to this day. #EveryChildMatters

Ok: so it's the final stretch (with only 9 hours left) to jump on the new Cypher bandwagon. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... I've had the opportunity to playtest the system with the designers of @montecookgames.com, and here's a little thread with 3 reasons I am in love with the new system:

This stream with @seankreynolds.bsky.social from @montecookgames.com was so much fun! Ruunk the Gloomy Monk was a blast to play and the other players were a joy to share a table with. I probably only embarrassed myself a smidge, which is all I can ask for on a normal day.

I have an old "friend" from high school who is having a pity party over the fact that her son is autistic. I seriously have no idea how to talk to her about this, she's going on about how clearly something "gave her son autism" and she's getting very defensive and feeling "invalidated."

#Archaeology friends: question for my Lego League: have you worked at/know of a site where it was really difficult to remove dirt from the excavation area? Like, a deep cave or high cliff? Do you know of any innovative solutions that were used to do so? Pictures are a plus!

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning. They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then: No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism AND Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

Kennedy is a quack--full stop. This is fear mongering and quackery to the extreme. Autistic people don't need to be "cured" any more than extrovert people need to be cured. Neurodiversity is natural part of overall human diversity and to say it isn't is flat out ignorant and dangerous. 6/x

2/2 ✅ Birth control isn’t abortion — it prevents pregnancies & reduces abortions ✅ Many want access to contraceptives but their countries lack enough supply 🤔 Funny how “personal choice” is sacred to Republicans… until it’s someone else’s choice.

Give someone a fish, and you feed them for a day. Teach someone to fish, without a fishable body of water nearby, or without providing the tools needed to do so, and you leave them hungry.

Good morning, we're 13K funded with just two weeks left to reach $69,699, can we get a HAHA and a boost off of Charlie Kirk online-ness today? Most of it is to give a load of BIPOC and trans people money, so you know... In his memory. 🖤🔥 www.kickstarter.com/projects/pow...

Applied for a really cool (non archaeology) job opening today. Keeping my fingers crossed, this would be a great opportunity for me and would give me a lot more freedom than what I'm currently doing. Plus I wouldn't be bombarded with political hate at work either.

Grass is our story. We eat it: rice, corn, wheat, oats, barley, sugar, bamboo shoots... We spread it: agriculture, colonialism, suburbanization, habitat restoration... We touch it: relaxation, celebration, exploration, demonstration... Grass is everything. www.kickstarter.com/projects/pow...

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Did you know that your city almost definitely has a deal with the phone app "Libby" where you can enter your city library number and get access to an enormous number of ebooks? This is great because if there's a day you don't want to be on social media, it gives you somewhere to sink your attention.

I see some of you dragging a shit take from the fascist site over here to dunk on it, a) why are you still on the fascist site to find that shit, b) why are dropping shit onto this site, c) when you dunk on it you just give it a new audience. Leave shitty fascist takes on the shitty fascist site.

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!
