The word “autism” was first used to describe behavioral differences in children in 1911 but autism has been documented using available records going back to the 1700s (definitively) and further. Acetaminophen (Tylenol, paracetamol) was discovered in 1878 and first sold in the United States in 1950.

Eat. Sleep. Exercise. Nurture the relationships that sustain you. Protect your health. Find joy. Don't mistake any of these for the resistance itself. Joy isn't resistance, neither is rest. But you need to be whole to resist for a lifetime.

Warning! Baby that has not been put in mouth of friend pelican may develop autism.

Don't you dare put that baby in pelican mouth.

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

Tonight at 7: a conversation with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social about how to go beyond a rent freeze to long term affordability. Watch here: www.youtube.com/live/W7cc19q...

Last weekend, I was thrilled to spend an evening with Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, Anya Schiffrin and a group of brilliant policy minds they gathered to discuss a range of issues facing our city.

Everyone, I wanted to let you know about the sad news that despite everyone's best efforts Bluestockings will close at the end of the year: www.bluestockings.com - I want to thank every single person who sent books to them through my book drive [will share more later]. A tremendous loss to NYC.

This casino threatens to displace longtime residents & drive up rents. If you're in BK w/connections to Portia Henry or Alex Sommer, call on them for a NO. & if you're repped by Brannan, Reynoso, Solomon or Scarcella-Spanton, consider affirming them in their NO www.brooklynpaper.com/coney-island...

If you saw me running across Soldotna Creek Park to catch the very cool Diamond Dance Project perform “Soda Pop” from “KPop Demon Hunters” at the Harvest Moon Local Food Festival no you didn’t.

I started reading this yesterday and it's delightful. Reminds me of the fictitious Rosie M Banks novels. Victorian factory seduction!

Also Monday, ABC’s “The View” weighed in on the controversy after not raising it for two episodes after Kimmel was suspended. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg opened the show saying: “No one silences us” and she and her fellow hosts condemned Disney’s decision.

So yeah, this is one of the reasons I live here.

The world may be... <gestures broadly...> BUT, I have this year at least found out about FOUNTAIN PEN HIGHLIGHTERS. So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

I really enjoyed this newsletter from Charlie Jane about dark academia for a lot of reasons, but especially because one of the first images in the newsletter is this. Very dark. Very academia.

We got double baked chili stuffed potato skins, so the giants cant hurt me today

Ermygadddd, I’ve been on Oxford Street with my daughter today as it’s been traffic free. What a total buzz 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 All we could hear was people chatting and laughing, and not ONE engine. It was delicious. And of course people are here in huge numbers. … 1/11

THIS IS FUTURE Oxford street, featuring co-creation by visiting kids, who as always know what’s what better than most grown ups

I’m down at the Oxford Street car free day and I can already tell this is going to be an exceptionally joyous event. I’ll share some highlights!

Enjoying dinner in the pedestrian and cycle only square tonight. Got a feeling all the restaurant owners with their packed terraces, and the parents letting their children play freely don't want the cars back

Camden High Street struggles for customers on a random September Friday now that motorists have been restricted.

I’m not sure guys, I think maybe Oxford Street was better when it was full of motor traffic, I think people liked it better that way 😂

OK let's watch "On your left" again. They aren't getting paid for this, so fuck em. youtu.be/4pFUP0HZwWM?...

flawed paper aside, definitely feels like there's something real here. my hypermobility is absolutely a factor in my #longCovid

This is minor if you aren’t an ICE flight tracker, but I’m also revealing here for the first time that the sneaky GIV that has been doing ICE flights to Africa since mid-August is operated by Paradigm Jet Management. I obtained FAA docs proving it. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

NOW IN EFFECT ✅ Local Law 68, sponsored by @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social As part of the Council’s ongoing efforts to prevent deed theft, and first announced by @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social in her 2024 State of the City, this law requires that the system maintained

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
