The fact a journalist doesn't understand Shut The Fuck Up Friday is every day and tries to make it some sort of scandal that someone under federal indictment will not speak about the indictment is obnoxious. Good on @katmabu.bsky.social for recognizing every day is Shut The Fuck Up Friday!

Being more concerned with poor people buying lobster and steak than billionaires buying people and countries is ridiculous

Hey @katboniface.bsky.social (if you are seeing these notifs?)—any thoughts on what mechanism could be involved if it seemed ondansetron was providing some relief in PEM?

This article (which discusses neuro as well as psych dz) w/reference to “disinhibiting glutamergic terminals” caught my eye 🧐

Revanche has been fundraising and assisting Lakota families at Pine Ridge for years and you can find about 2025's fundraising, and others who need help, here:

A friend thinks we should build a database of Pope Just Got A Sports Jersey facial expressions to calibrate his responses to non-Sports Jerseys events

anymore they often don't even need to take a step back because they throw down an absolutely unreasonable starting point along the lines of "we think all these people should die" so compromise in the middle means "okay half these people should die" and nah

Med Q for #NEISVoid, #Disability, #ChronicPain communities:

Anyone with experience taking Mexiletine?

Apparently the success rate for chronic pain is very low and they don't know who it will/won't work for yet so we're giving it a try, but curious to see if others have tried it/what it was like.

I cannot wait for UK edtech people to begin discussing tech harms and risks. Because at the moment we have a very privileged lens on how tech in education works and what the risks might be. It reminds me of speaking to Silicon Valley engineers in 2016.

Western media has had a blackout on both Congo & Sudan, & people there have had less access to social media, this is the primary reason why genocides there have not been discussed by Westerners.

White House fires entire commission that reviews designs for federal buildings The White House has fired all six members of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, the independent federal agency that reviews design plans for monuments, memorials, coins and federal buildings.

Well this is one way to get around 'you can't do that, actually.'

because terms like mutual aid aren't used in my community, I often have to remind myself what it looks like in my context. simple and practical things like how we were taught to keep extra towels, dishes, clothing items, etc so when we ran across people in need, we had a lil extra to give away.

Trump pushes an end to medical care for transgender youth nationally The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too.

The Trump administration will soon be releasing two Medicaid rules that would ban medicaid funding for gender affirming care for trans youth and any Medicaid reimbursements to any organization that provides care to trans youth. This would be a de facto national ban

A man holding up a Kapital bandana.

A construction worker wearing a bandana.

If you live in a major city, you may have noticed more people wearing bandanas around their neck, as the accessory has made a small comeback. Typically made from cotton, the bandana — distinct from the ascot — has a long history in working class aesthetics, as it serves a practical function.

Reminds me of someone asking if they should pursue their degree in their mid 30s. Their argument for not doing it: "I won't even graduate until I'm 40!"

Response: "You are going to be 40 either way. Might as well pursue the goal you have had all your life!"

i'm angry at myself for depriving myself of this for so long

but i'm also angry at the world that told me over and over and over that i would become a pariah, or a danger to children, or in danger, and made me so, so afraid to reach out and take what i knew i wanted a decade ago

None of these states has universal free school meals

'A sad reality': Food banks, grocery stores, residents expect to feel the strain from impending SNAP benefit expirations Dozens of volunteers sifted through huge pallets overflowing with 40,000 pounds of pears fresh off a truck from the Wenatchee Valley on Tuesday afternoon at Second Harvest distribution center in Spoka...

#Spokane, give to local #foodbanks. There isa huge need for #food. You can even donate money so the food banks can buy what they need to feed people who will need the food.

Dozens?!!!

That number is way too small, right?

I wasn't 100% certain Weiss didn't have this panel on to discuss the hurricane.

Exactly. If you cannot explain your ideas to someone without a high school education, you need to get better at explaining your ideas, not assume the person is the problem.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

I want to gently push back on this: not being able to read complex writing is not the same as being a low information citizen. Many people can comprehend the topics involved just fine if they are presented in an accessible and understandable manner.

Every now and then I see an acknowledgement that is spite. Something like, "Thank you to Bob. You said I couldn't write this book, that it was foolish for me to even try. Just to prove you wrong, I did it!"

1. This will be a forced labor camp; 2. Utah is already planning to make it easier to commit people to it.

Social camouflaging of autistic traits is associated with more severe symptoms among subjects with feeding and eating disorders - PubMed Level III: Evidence obtained from well-designed cohort or case-control analytic studies.

Cannot believe that a judge has to tell the fucking border patrol not to tear gas kids on Halloween. Makes me so angry I could cry.
