We don't have an autism epidemic. We have better tools and understanding of neurodiversity. Recognizing something for what it is doesn't mean it's suddenly happening, but rather recognition is better.

Vaccines cause survival.

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says β€” Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikesΒ and people in cars and on foot, a new studyΒ of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents | Fortune Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations β€œscrewed up” giving students access to so much technology: β€œI genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”

Gen Z may be the first modern generation to score worse on standardized tests than their parents.

Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath points to schools replacing textbooks with tech and the iPhone. I’d add COVID as a major inflection point many never recovered from.

Anyone with long-COVID has so many burdens already: disease, difficulty doing stuff, being disbelieved, and sometimes self-blame. No one wants to add to that. But if you have a bit if capacity, please consider sharing your story with @cancovsoc.bsky.social as below.

Absolutely.

I always learned best when I wrote my own notes and cue cards, not the times a friend let me photocopy theirs.

Same in clinic: typing out my patient notes helps me synthesize the encounter and not infrequently leads to new insights or follow-up questions.

Handling ideas = growth.

It’s so ridiculous. There’s no reason to not have full face protection, when players regularly get facial injuries. Hockey is played at speed with a hard rubber missile.

I play the game, I love the game, but I don’t love this lack of basic protection.

And again. If only there was a way to protect players from losing teeth due to high sticks.

That’s two players losing a tooth each in two minutes.

Cannot stress enough how cost effective an intervention clean indoor air can be.

Any rational cost/benefit analysis would make this a no-brainer in every school in the world.

It's long past time to make this a priority here in Toronto.

Supreme Court upholds Newfoundland and Labrador’s COVID-era restrictions Observers say decision affirms proper limits to liberty in medical emergencies and recognizes Canadians’ collective responsibilities to one another

For the late/west coast crowd, my latest for @cba-nationalmag.bsky.social on today's #SCC decision, where the Court ruled that Newfoundland and Labrador's COVID travel restrictions were constitutional, but they couldn't agree on just which mobility rights were violated. #cdnlaw

As a severely disabled person, I’m haunted by what the regime did to Wael Tarabishi.

They ripped his father away from him.

His father was his full time caregiver.

They killed Wael. You can’t remove a person’s full time caregiver and expect them to survive.

There’s no β€œback up”.

Aliya Rahman is a disabled woman who was violently dragged from her car by ICE while on her way to a specialist’s appointment

She clearly told agents β€œI’m disabled”

Their response? β€œToo late”

They smashed her window. Cut off her seatbelt. Dragged her face down with her arms tied behind her back.
