Autism does not need to be cured Ableism does The end

Most days...🤷🏼‍♀️

Kamala Harris: He had no plan for actually bringing down costs and prices for the American people. He had very few plans for what he would actually do that was about the American people, and not his vengeance on his enemies.

I find the "war on neurodivergence" kind of scary and exhausting. Autism being the first one people seem to target with their blatant falsisms. Neurodivergence is often a spectrum/range of symptoms, and there can be many overlapping types of neurodivergence seen in an single individual.

In case this wasn't already clear:

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

Being anti vaccines for babies is one of the surest signs of a declining civilisation. There could be no clearer evidence on childhood vaccination saving lives and preserving health and yet we’re being distracted by debating this issue.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

neurodiversity is Good Actually. just want to say that

we have so much more collective power than people think we do

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Everything is great *turns on anime playlist* *sobs*

Umm, I'm still irritated by this.

Holy shit, another cishet male comedian telling an actually funny, new trans joke.

I feel like indoor air chemists might have some thoughts on this story #chemsky 👀

It’s also worth noting that as soon as it became clear the Trump shooter had no real legible politics and certainly not from “the left” he completely vanished into anonymity. No one knows his name.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

This is a good post, chemsky—please clap

Kirk was a racist who thought black people shouldn’t be pilots. He thought women should be subservient to men. He hated MLK and the Civil Rights Act. He didn’t care about political violence against Paul Pelosi and Democrats. All his own words. You can deplore the shooting without honoring the man.

I'm launching a new video podcast called B*tch, Listen on September 25. My first three guests are Franchesca Ramsey, Elie Mystal, and Judy Reyes. *snaps*

This was just last month and we have already memoryholed it. A cop killed by an antivaxxer.

AI companies are like “hey guy, do you want a product that isn’t good? also, you can’t afford air conditioning now because we made you this. also you kind of have to buy it or there will be a global depression”

Opposing pedophilia should be a straight forward cultural commitment

Absolutely dying at all the people who just discovered that, like all the car parts are from overseas nations with whom were wrecking trade.

Like I don't think we need AI to make bad images period but we certainly shouldn't be featuring shoddy AI slop on the cover of a reputable(?) scientific journal.

@crystengcomm.rsc.org what are we doing here? All the crystallographers are sharpening their pitchforks... #chemsky

"Make indiscriminate stops based on ... ethnicity"... so RACISM?

lol a PERFECT example of how it's more expensive to be a woman than a man. Women are expected to bring multiple outfits, accessories, makeup, etc. And then if you're Black, you gotta bring hella hair products... which means I HAVE to check my bag. This is #TheDoubleTax. Pre-order: annagifty.com

The Supreme Court is now directly overturning generations of precedent via the shadow docket.

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

As a guy who got a cancer that was probably caused by a virus, I think we should have /more/ vaccines.

For anyone who needs to explain science to their non- scientist friends & relatives, I wrote this.... maybe it helps. #chemsky #scisky

Chicago is in my heart, keep fighting, do not accept fascism in our streets

Duckworth: "Let's make it clear -- the President of the United States essentially just declared war on a major city in his own nation. This is not normal. This is not acceptable behavior."

I saw a car with the license plate 8LYP 363 and I smiled and thought "I might know what you are." #chemsky

willing to entertain a case for Kennedy as three out of four of these, actually. if he really got his way on every single thing he wanted for a full four years it's hard to imagine any one person accumulating a higher body count. today's hearings better be just the opening salvo toward unseating him

Black women are being used as test subjects for the limits of abuse of power. I want people to not ignore this since this always happens and then when the abuse arrives at people's doorstep, they're surprised. CALL IT OUT NOW.

Wanna learn #Crystallography? Base in Australia or NZ? Worth noting that you've got another week or so to apply for this year's crystallography school

Occurs to me that Trump's entire regime consolidation strategy is to persuade everyone through displays of force that the regime is already consolidated and there's no point in resisting. Which I don't think will work, but also shows how important public acts of noncompliance are.

New: I spent the week looking into the cancelled mRNA contracts. Interviews with HHS officials and MAGA and MAHA influencers reveal an HHS agency plagued by dysfunction as Kennedy chips away at the nation’s public health. www.msnbc.com/news/news-an...

COVID really taught me that men simply were not socialized to handle upsetting, unfair situations that are obviously beyond their control. Trump II is reinforcing that for me. Our society simply does not equip cis men with the tools they need to be practical realists about this historical moment.

Both my books were in here, along with several Lightspeed Magazine articles, so I would encourage you to search your name and sign up if you’ve written anything, no matter how small you think it might be

Watching video today of ICE agents roaming the streets of American cities and reading about the anger and fear of Bostonians during the Fugitive Slave crisis is a reminder of why it is so important that the institutions charged with interpreting the past be allowed to do so without interference.

I'm in there over 100 times with scientific articles so I'm guessing all the scientists i know are too.

every american jobs headline is like “hey remember that thing capitalists pushed on you? turns out it was a crock of shit”
