This is so wholesome and I’ve always felt the same

A lot of people get parenting autistic children wrong. And I'm going to explain how in the simplest of terms.

They think autistic kids need to learn how to tolerate things they find intolerable, because... "that's life." (1)

Long COVID is Now the Number One Chronic Illness in Children Repeatedly mass infecting kids with COVID is not a public health strategy. It's a fast pass to declining population health

After abandoning every mitigation and infecting kids repeatedly, our media wants to know: why do so many children have Long COVID?

My latest looks at the newest research, the comforting lies that just won't die, and how we got here:

What are the stages of grief again? Denial is the first one.

Ppl will figure it out. It'll just take some time

"SARS-CoV-2 [...] has been increasingly linked to the dysregulation of crucial oncogenic pathways, highlighting its potential role in cancer development and progression" 👇

Population wide supplementation as a public health intervention is not new and has yielded incredible health benefits through the years don't let the misguided attacks on fluoridated water fool you.
Why do you think iodide is added to table salt? Since we are intent of forgetting history here is a 🧵

if we are lucky, we will all grow old enough to one day be disabled.

it’s the only marginalized status that every single person on Earth can move into.

this can happen through no fault of your own.

start accommodating for your future self.

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing that will break the siege. Remember this. Try.

A shameless plug for the TV show “Andor” but it was just May the 4th and this quote felt like it was talking right to us.

Goodnight friends. 💚 Get some rest.

How bad is this flu year? (See the purple line)

We’ve had 1300 more hospitalizations than by this point last year: 5224 vs ~3902

Last year (blue) was the 2nd worst flu year in Colorado history.

And we've had *34% more hospital admissions for flu* than last year … (On top of all the COVID)

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Hey, y’all 🫶🏻

You co-signed RFK Jr's eradication of disabled people the moment you took your mask off when the government said it was ok to do so.

Fauci's "the vulnerable will fall by the wayside" and RFK Jr's "autistic people don't contribute" are two sides of the same eugenics coin.

It helps to learn about linguistic prescription and its roots in white supremacy.

The opposite of prescription is description. Language naturally evolves with fluidity, has diversity, and can only be described.

That's why no one really uses Esperanto.

Hey, thanks for including nuclear in the stats for clean energy! We need more folks like you standing up for nuclear in the enviro world.

I feel like we need to have baby steps for protestors, too. We’ve been too propagandized for too long and need to find our sea legs. We need all the kinds of protest to be able to stop fa$cism.

It’s never too late to start wearing a mask. Now more than ever it’s important to protect your health & the health of others

No one is coming to save us, but we can save each other

A well fitted respirator (like an N95) protects against Covid & shows solidarity with disabled & marginalized people

This one goes hand in hand with "why are you making everything about autism"...

Because, in my brain, everything IS about my autism. Not a thought passes through it without being impacted in some way by my autistic brain wiring.

When people ask me when I'm going to stop wearing a mask, my new response is "have you see what's happening to public health in America? Do you think there will be any support if you get Long Covid?"

BTW, April is Autism Acceptance Month.

I think this—that Autists are more likely to do the moral thing when no one is looking —is why a lot of us continue to wear KN95/N95s.

I’d rather do the right thing to protect my health and community than the popular thing. My own definition of integrity.

if the united states ever has even a hope of recovering we have to destroy the idea of american individualism. "they don't owe you anything" we owe each other everything actually

Before You Donate to Autism Speaks, Consider the Facts Very little money donated to Autism Speaks goes toward helping autistic people and families.

#AutismAcceptanceMonth starts tomorrow. Please don't give to Autism Speaks; their $$ rarely supports autistic people/families, and their 'awareness' work portrays autistic people as burdens, not humans. From @autisticadvocacy.org, a good org to support instead.

Did you know? Masking is an intersectional practice. SARS disproportionately affects marginalized groups.

It’s a working & labor class / feminist / trans & LGTBQIA+ / BIPOC / poor & housing-insecure / 🍉 & Geno-side / resistance issue. Read thread below for links.

Thank you for getting it. It’s like folks don’t think we learned? For decades we just sat on our hands? We know how to make it safe because of ✨SCIENCE✨

WE THE PEOPLE DEMANDED - PROTESTED - and - VOTED for the government to help us by creating these initiatives, programs, offices, and services. DOGE is the fraud, taking away our government right in front of us. Wake up, y’all.

Podcast recommendation, here. Learn about the airborne nature of SARS and why it’s important to mask up for your community and your own health.

Begging my local organizers to understand this. Stand up to fa$cism and our oppressors who want us (yes, you, too) gone. Wear a well-fitted respirator mask, please. This is about you surviving as much as protecting others

As an environmentalist, it’s important to me that we champion nuclear energy. It’s clean and safe. Safer than you are imagining. So safe that we are literally wasting money to make it safer because it’s already ✨the safest✨ and ✨cleanest✨ energy source we have!
