Let’s not equate left and right-wing rage.

Right-wing rage gave us the KKK.

Left-wing rage gave us the weekend.

My breakdown of the autism Princeton study... part 3

Let’s talk about the why behind the gender distribution because a lot of people are understandably frustrated that nearly 80% of the participants were male.

But first, let's talk about where the participants came from. (1)

Ok, let's decode this thing together. Because it's... a lot.

Men are the problem! I won’t stop sharing this until it sinks in.

More than 130,000 government pages have gone dark in a purge that one scientist likened to a “digital book burning.” A group of librarians and archivists is fighting back. https://t.co/JEjgo4cjW4

I always dread being asked for a bio picture to speak at conferences. I went with the first one, but the other three are my favourites :D

Do you have a favourite picture of yourself?

Please take this warning seriously.
You may think you can overcome the acute COVID-19 infection.
You won’t know whether you will develop long COVID until it is too late.
Stay home if unwell.
A well-fitted N95 mask will help protect you and others from transmission of the virus.

@useless_priest I work a state job and the number of times I've heard from colleagues that they had not noticed it was so difficult to open the doors until they saw me struggling...

Disability advocacy, especially when confined to social media, can wear you down.

In the last week:

I’ve been told I’m wasting my life
I’m not doing enough advocacy
I’m pushing an agenda & want folks to suffer
I’m a paid shill
Been used as “bait” by a huge influencer

I find it hard to believe that it was a coincidence that RFK Jr fired *everyone* on the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) the same day Trump sent Marines to LA

People are understandably distracted & this will fly under the radar

This decision will kill people

[Caffeinated Toddler @CaffeinatedTdlr]

The most anger inducing instance I’ve had is when a doctor told me they didn’t have any knowledge of a condition I had be diagnosed with and when I offered up information about it the doctor declined and said “yeah I’m not going to read that because you probably don’t actually have that.” And then insisted I was just unwell because I’m a woman and all women are always unwell.

Years ago, my mother went to a neurologist bc of headaches & trouble w her eye. told her it was anxiety & told her to see a psychiatrist. 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinion, same thing. Not one ran a single test.Her ophthalmologist (our neighbor) took her seriously. He found a brain tumor.

In the mid 2000s, I got ill while finishing a project in Eastern Europe, and developed some health conditions that nobbled me for a few years, and my whole life changed track.
I didn't go back, but I never took my eye off what I had seen start to develop:
Putin's new empire.
