In a world full of corporations that support corruption, division, and exclusion, be more like Lego.

Research doesn’t show using Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism. Here are 5 things to know There’s no known single cause of autism.

Just in case we need this later today. Acetaminophen/paracetamol does not cause autism. www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

Pro tip: don’t write a paper in your profs area of research and then misquote, plagiarize, and make up citations. Especially in a very small field. They probably know everyone you’ve cited and all their work. They can probably send a quick text to check.

PSA: In online meetings, don’t call people out for having their camera off. They may have a very valid reason and may not be comfortable sharing that with everyone on the call. If they are participating and engaging in the way they need to, move on.

Harvard just destroyed Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. She wrote a letter to Harvard university and responded by marking up the letter for spelling and punctuation mistakes- and then shared it on social media.

Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, WWE billionaire, wrote a letter to Harvard and they gave her the ENG 101 treatment and shared it on social media. Ivy League trolling 🤌🏼

Trump Administration Plans to Send Migrants to Libya on a Military Flight

🧵Trump’s DHS is preparing to deport migrants to Libya—a war-torn nation the U.S. State Department warns Americans to avoid due to terrorism, land mines, & kidnapping.

They plan to use a military plane to send human beings into hell.

This is cruel trafficking.

NIH cancels its first and largest study centered on women The Women’s Health Initiative has produced numerous influential findings

I’ve received funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to develop training programs for older adult powered wheelchair users and policy on access to assistive technology. Both projects focus on equity in health services, and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Woke. #NeverPP

Ah Ireland, it’s good to be home 🇮🇪

Share this. Over and over. This is criminal.

It started out as a joke

Yesterday, the US President told his military to make plans to invade, by force, Panama.

He announced his plans to annex Greenland - in front of the NATO head.

He said the only way out for Canada was to become part of the U.S.

This is not a joke.
War is coming.

We gotta stop saying DEI. In reality, it's women, people of color, and people with disabilities. We need to say it out loud.

We’ve managed to normalize and minimize Elon doing a Nazi salute (twice!) while at the same time blaming it on (and shaming) people with disabilities.

We’ve hit a new low.

Ahh #Ireland. I’ve missed being home for the last month!

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a fan of Trudeau. However, I was very disappointed by @jagmeetsingh.ca today in his statement following Trudeau’s resignation. I miss the days politicians thanked their opponents for their service, even if they had disagreements. Where is Jack Layton’s NDP?

Just done :)
