It has been a rough January and I found myself at a loss for words so instead leaned on some of my favorite #sciencefiction #writers. Closing thoughts for January 2026. #authorquotes #ScienceFiction

“The long history of trying to ‘cure’ or eliminate autism has been a history of terrible abuse and dangerous sham treatments." I spoke to @autisticadvocacy.org's Greg Robinson and @drstevenkapp.bsky.social about the awful autism presser yesterday. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you have questions around the issue of #Tylenol (acetaminophen) and #Autism read the research yourself. Even just the summary. Don’t trust politicians who have an agenda. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Cannot wait to get this in my hands.

Trump's federal funding cuts are shutting down studies on Alzheimer’s care, uterine fibroids and pregnancy risks — all because they focus on gender.

Re-upping this. We need experts in media literacy & stewards of the freedom to read now more than ever.

Hoping this is true and praying it will last. The losses are already too high.

This is fabulous - I had no idea the search function factored in alt text. Please alt text your images so we can make Bluesky inclusive for everyone. If you don’t know how, folks will help you! Tag #Alt4Me and wonderful volunteers will show up to provide alt text for you.

Many folks may not have a full understanding of the potential breadth and scope of executive orders and how they can shift the priorities and processes of every Federal agency. This likely WILL impact you in some way, so getting an idea is probably helpful.

Artists and creatives provide joy with their work. They educate and entertain and encourage us to view everything just a little bit differently; making our world just a little bit bigger. Share their names. Share their work. It lets them keep creating and makes the world better and more magical.

To be bold. To be daring. To speak not with words, but with actions. And to stand firm in the protection of those most vulnerable.

Yes, the right and far right have absymal violent and eugenicist takes on disability. That is not an excuse for those on the other end of the spectrum to either ignore disability or mock disabled people when they bring up disability related issues. First it was COVID/masks. Now, its assisted dying.

December 3, International Day of Persons with #Disabilities. The theme for 2024 is “Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future”. I want to take a minute to lift up the disabled filmmakers who built #RENEGADESPBS. 1/3

I got to talk with Dr. Susan Lacy, a plaintiff in the huge trans rights Supreme Court case going to oral argument on Weds. Here's what the case could mean—for trans folks *and* for states' power to restrict sex-specific forms of healthcare (birth control, IVF) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

As someone who uses alt text to “see” images this is a great, useful, addition to your posts. And your alt text doesn’t have to be perfect. It may seem intimidating but it isn’t hard and isn’t time consuming. Here’s how to do it.

NBC: Mississippi Free Press "Bluesky is getting 20 times the engagement or more than Twitter,” Pittman said. “Seeing a social media platform that doesn’t throttle links really makes it clear how badly we were being limited.” search.app?link=https%3...

As a fan, I’m furious to hear folks being awful to Rosie Jones. The fun in #Taskmaster is how the comedians figure out how to solve the tasks. I have NO doubt Rosie will entertain. Looking forward to watching. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...
