My first ND told me back in 2009 when I first got sick that low-normal was too low for B12, especially for someone like me with neurologic symptoms. Glad to see "real" science is catching up! scitechdaily.com/scientists-f...

You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated: If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.

People like to claim that autistics are bad at communicating and like, my dude, the problem does not lie with us, it lies with the web of manipulation and lies and passive aggression and ulterior agendas that you weave around yourselves instead of just doing what we do, which is saying what we mean.

i looked at the methodology for this and it is a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and b. p-hacked

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

I think there's also an issue with writer's pay falling, so there's less time/inclination to actually research stuff.

It was never about antisemitism. This administration had used us as a kudgel against brown people, but Jews are about to get thrown under the bus like everyone else who isn't a cis het Christian nationalist white man. www.axios.com/2025/10/02/k...

The Kitchen Table Cardigan from @hookmountainknits.bsky.social is done! Here's mine, complete with the mismatched buttons you helped me pick. I'm short, so my pockets (& everything else) is shorter than the original. Get it by 9/29 for a discount! www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #knitting #knitsky🧶

No particular reason

I'm excited to have the body of my test of this year's @tellybeanknits.bsky.social Halloween sweater nearly done! It's still Wednesday until I've slept! #WIPWednesday #knitting #knitsky 🧶

My #KitchenTableCardigan test for @hookmountainknits.bsky.social has been done for almost a month...except for buttons. I'm terrible at choosing buttons. I'm currently leaning towards the bright mismatched plastic ones to coordinate with my secret pink pocket. #WIPWednesday #knitting #knitsky 🧶

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

I'm really proud of the shoulder graft on my #KitchenTableCardigan test for @hookmountainknits.bsky.social And excited for that secret pop of pink in my pocket! #WIPWednesday #knitting #knitsky 🧶

I should go to bed but there's the usual problem that I have to get up tomorrow then.

@matthewcappucci.bsky.social why do you "hate to say" people may need N95 masks during the bad smoke from Canada? Masks are a tool. As a scientist you should encourage their use where appropriate, not treat them as a punishment. That hurts immunocompromised people who get mocked for masking.

@pbsnews.org Disappointing seeing the meteorologist on Canadian fire smoke talk negatively about masks, "We hate to say it, but..." Masks are a tool. If media didn't treat them as a punishment, we might not have people purposely coughing on those who need them. youtu.be/iE94pAL7-oI?...

We need states to intervene, protecting Americans' medical data and stopping RFK Jr.'s dangerous stigmatization of autistic and disabled people. Add your name to the petition! sign.moveon.org/petitions/pr...

I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org

Early this morning, an autonomous group of New Yorkers reclaimed an F train car, replacing ads with signage reading “A MAN WAS LYNCHED HERE” and Jordan Neely’s name, as a jury deliberates over whether to convict Daniel Penny, Neely’s killer, with his death last May.

I say again - there are few things in American society that will radicalize you more, or faster, than being suddenly disabled in your 20s with a condition that no doctor wants to treat or touch or interact with, and leaves you in pain every second of every day. It is a cooker beyond belief.

Oh my GOD: I asked one of the Dems who replied, Rep. Brad Schneider of Illinois, if he'd support a vote to censure Walberg. His response? "We need to stop talking about censures and focus on governing.”

What could possibly go wrong with a service that digs up online dating profiles on a bunch of platforms based on just a name and a photo?

imagine letting the guy that can’t properly make a hubcap put a chip in your brain

"A new study on public attitudes toward abortion laws finds that the more people know about pregnancy, the more likely they are to oppose legislation that limits women’s access to abortions – regardless of political ideology"

Time to start FINALLY pushing back! www.ama-assn.org/delivering-c...

I did a full write-through of my report on Alabama's plans to use nitrogen gas to kill Kenneth Eugene Smith on Thursday in order to provide as much clarity as possible on where things stand. Please read and share: www.lawdork.com/p/alabama-ni...

A NH voter on CNN just said he voted for Trump because Haley was too negative and that Trump “has left the language of vengeance behind.” Please tell me exactly how I’m supposed to start a rational conversation with someone who is experiencing an entirely separate reality. I’m all ears.

There's a post-Roe edge to abortion politics that is about more than hating women — it’s about the belief that abortions are fundamentally emasculating to the men who finally achieved their rightful domination, only to have the thrill of subjugation challenged again and again at the ballot box.

I wrote for Newsweek about my experience miscarrying in Texas after Dobbs. Democratic erosion and authoritarianism aren’t abstractions happening elsewhere—my story & that of countless other women are reminders that they happen every day in Texas & in other states. Polisky Gendersky Academicsky

1) THIS asshole 2) conservative fuckfaces have such a long and illustrious history of appointing people who are not qualified to jobs they should not be doing and it's transparently obvious that they just think those jobs shouldn't exist at all

A Texas school district superintendent defended the continued suspension of a Black student over his locs in a full-page newspaper ad “Being an American requires conformity with the positive benefit of unity"

I went 6 years without a mammogram because the BCBS database kept telling me there weren't any covered providers. In Seattle. 🤦‍♀️

In the US, we are now up to over 2,000 COVID deaths a week and rising (likely an undercount).

not to be rude but i'm starting to think that short form social media isn't right for some of you if you can't handle seeing a post that isn't accompanied by a full sociopolitical analysis and history of the topic at hand when the topic is like. littering is bad. there's a character limit on here

Everyone thinks long Covid is something that can only happen to other people. Those of us who have dealt with the reality of chronic illness know better.

cool cool cool i’m just thinking of every issue the nyt called people who are still masking histrionic fearmongering trauma addicts who are only doing it for attention

After the talk about the author's derailed prize ceremony, this interview turns to a more general discussion of how fake antisemitism is being used as a weapon of the far right. youtu.be/NtSD2Y5g5OM?...

Social media can be a cruel place. Amidst all the muck, there are glimmers of hope. I wrote about disabled outrage and a recent hashtag I created on Twitter #PodSaveJon disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2024/01/02/d...

Something that I did not predict at the start of the pandemic: One of the biggest heroes would be 💩. Kudos for wastewater monitoring!

but that's literally what the statute says. i'm going to lose my fucking mind

This is what inspirobot.me gave me to head into 2024 with. Really not helpful, thanks.

Now that we have embedded video here, I decided to be the one to start this round:

Dear retailers: if I click on your website out of the link in the email newsletter that I subscribed to, you can skip the giant screen-covering popup exhorting me to sign up for your newsletter

And instead of playing the "who was here first" "no but who was REALLY here first" game (working out great as it is) perhaps we can all acknowledge that 11 million people in a region have no other home RIGHT NOW and ALL OF THEM deserve to be safe and free and to thrive, and let's worry about THAT.
