I think a lot of the neurodivergent experience is being punished for asking questions so we instead decide to infer meanings and intentions and patterns based on context and cues, but because we're neurotypical, that process is extremely prone to error. so we get punished for it anyway later.

Repost your posts. Brag about your accomplishments. Get yourself treats. Be weird as fuck. Above all, do all these things for those you love too. Life is too short to try not to take up the space you need

I'm not a fictional character and these aren't Easter Eggs. The way that non-binary folk choose to present is not, ipso facto, indicative of a journey towards some other trans identity. It can ebb and flow as much as feels right to them, or based on whatever compromises they have to make.

Pro tip: donโ€™t brag about how dishes made with raw meat or fish (tartare, poke, carpaccio, etc) are your faves and never make you sick.

I am missing the first full day of my conference because I canโ€™t be separated from my bathroom.

New COVID Variant Can Cause 'Razor Blade Throat': What to Know About the Symptom A new COVID variant called NB.1.8.1, aka Nimbus, is spreading in the U.S. and causing an incredibly painful sore throat, doctors say.

Pretty unbelievable that in the year of our lord 2025 people are still giving variants stupid names like Nimbus and claiming with no evidence at all that they cause made-up clinical conditions like โ€œrazor blade throat.โ€

Itโ€™s SARS-CoV-2. It causes COVID.

Chatbots โ€” LLMs โ€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When theyโ€™re โ€œrightโ€ itโ€™s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. Thatโ€™s all.

I was gonna say that I forgot to mention the scientist was a woman because "woman scientist" felt redundant, but the term "scientist" is gender-neutral so I'm actually more a fan of that.

Dr Jessica McCarty writes: At a NASA Earth meeting 10 years ago, a white male post doc interrupted me to tell me that I didn't understand human drivers of fire, that I def needed to read McCarty et al. I looked him in the eye, pulled my long hair back so he could read my name tag.

Classic. Reminds me of the guy who tried to explain something to a scientist referencing Last Name et al, only for the scientist to turn to him and say, "I'M Last Name et al."

My roommate saw me put more cheese onto a frozen pizza & it was like I unlocked something in him. I saw the wheels turning as he realized we don't have to settle for the default amount of cheese the pizza overlords offer us. What goes onto the frozen pizza is in our control. We have the power.

1. Do you believe that pathogens cause disease?
2. Why has CDC greatly reduced testing and monitoring for human H5N1 cases?
3. Do you believe that HIV causes AIDS?
4. Do you believe that the polio vaccine is safe & effective and will you commit to not changing recommendations on polio vaccination?

Youโ€™re not lazy, youโ€™re overwhelmed. Youโ€™re not antisocial, youโ€™re drained. Youโ€™re not broken, youโ€™re trying to survive in a system built to burn you out.

This male Snowcap was getting ready for bed last night at @tapirvalley.bsky.social. Very low light, but he was very relaxed.
