I see a lot of 'we need to lock up ICE agents when we take power back!' and not gonna argue or stop you, but learn something from Jan 6th.

Locking up the foot soldiers and not the elected officials who caused it are why they came back stronger.

Cut off the snake's head, the body barely matters

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

My therapist: Let's do some 54321 grounding to help with stress. Can you name 5 things you can see!

Me: *Me looks around and notices at least five things that are happening right now*

Also me: *dissociates even harder*

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

Good Place: Fun fact: Columbus is in the Bad Place because of all the raping, slave trade, and genocide.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death. The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died. While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants. Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

A brief guide on writing good alt text for images, which suggests including 1. Who or what 2. Their expression or emotion 3. A description of the image 4. Notable colors 5. Interesting features The included example image and description: "A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara's head." Dan's addition: saving the "interesting thing" for last is a bit like writing a joke - end with the memorable punchline!

Irregular reminder that alt text on images is a valuable accessibility tool, and also lets your images show in search results or respect mute lists. For instance, I found the below image by searching "capybara alt text".

Just a reminder that you don’t have to bring screenshots over from Twitter. Especially not hateful ones. We can imagine what they’re saying, and we’re not there for a reason. Thx!

this is basically portland's version of a haka

Pushing the myth that Tylenol causes autism?
You’re not “just asking questions” you’re sowing fear, misinformation, and mistrust in medicine 👌🏽
We can’t afford this in a world already flooded with pseudoscience!

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

I'm sorry for what I said when my sleeves kept touching my arms

What We Know About Expanding Radioactive Shrimp Recalls In The U.S. Three seafood companies have issued four recalls and two expansion recalls for frozen and raw shrimp since August.

So do all those journalists and professors get their jobs back too or is it just the millionaire comedian whose cancellation ate into Disney's profits?

A Dr on npr just said “shark bites are to eating ice cream as Tylenol is to autism

Yes shark bites and eating ice cream both increase in the summer but they have nothing to do with one another.”

THANK YOU!!!!

(If only Dr’s were this loud & clear before voters turned out government over to wackos)

The BS asymmetry principle: The amount of energy needed to refute BS is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.

Thank you to every science communicator who is doing the almost impossible work of countering misinformation every day. Every single one of you is saving lives!

Libraries are so cool. Whenever I'm away from home and need a place to hang out between things, I find a library. There's a bathroom, a water fountain, chairs, and I can read, meditate, use the computers, or just be, and no one tries me make me buy anything.

“solving autism” the day before the rapture is so desperate

Jaerry Maguire still with text SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE!

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

The word “autism” was first used to describe behavioral differences in children in 1911 but autism has been documented using available records going back to the 1700s (definitively) and further.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol, paracetamol) was discovered in 1878 and first sold in the United States in 1950.

*taps mic*

remember: this is not just egregious lies about autism which is already bad enough

it's also about ensuring pregnant people suffer by trying to make them afraid of taking painkillers

don't let the ableism hide the misogyny

tylenol.com TYLENOL We stand with science, and we stand with you. For generations, families have trusted TYLENOL® when it matters most. Why? Because Tylenol is one of the most studied medications in history. The facts remain unchanged: over a decade of rigorous research, endorsed by leading medical professionals, confirm there is no credible evidence linking acetaminophen to autism. Acetaminophen is used worldwide as a first line of defense for pain relief and fever reduction, at the recommendation of independent public health and leading medical professionals and in accordance with the product label. High fevers and pain are widely recognized as potential risks to a pregnancy if left untreated, especially in the first trimester. Remember to talk to your doctor. We prioritize science as the core of how we provide care, and that will never change.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.
