The autistic community have been here before, with the pervasive myth that vaccines caused autism.

Do you know what that caused? Dead children, killed by preventable diseases because people were so scared of their children becoming autistic, or otherwise subjected to ‘cures’ like drinking bleach.

Tomorrow Trump will announce the ‘cause’ of autism, something he says is ‘out of control’. He also doesn’t care if (read: that) what he says is wrong.

Autism isn’t out of control, but ableism is.

Autism isn’t out of control, but eugenics are.

Great date night at Hobbit Night at Amazing Art Studio. We even won trivia (team name: Beren and Lúthien) by out nerding the other nerds.

We’re hanging the You Shall Not Pass sign on our dog door. Dan’s wood art is going in his office. I also made a Prancing Pony stein.

Belgian-born chef on Top Chef: “Belgium has so many culinary influences from the countries that conquered us. And we’ve been conquered a lot.”

Um, The Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda would like to have a word regarding Belgium’s status as a subjugated nation.

Pedro Martinez saying that he’d handle Judge by hitting him every so often to “keep him in line” is classic asshole Pedro. #Yankees

Listen, I know that baseball is largely a male-driven conservative sport, but it still makes me so sad to see the Yankees shaking hands and posing with Donald Trump like he wouldn't deport half their team without losing a second of sleep. I just always think there's a line, and I am always wrong.

The Yankees paid tribute tonight to Charlie Kirk, for seemingly no reason as Kirk wasn't from NY or lived in NY.

President Trump will be at Yankee Stadium tomorrow to mark the 24th anniversary of 9/11 attacks.

As a Yankees fan, I am embarrassed and sorry.

@izzos.us: Wanna work on laundry downstairs and play our (PS5) game (which involves me watching for the story)?

Me: I’m not sure I feel like knitting. I just did it for 2 hours straight.

Dan: You could just watch. And not knit.

Me: Hurrumph. *grabs knitting bag*

🧶 Happy Friday #Knitsky!

Hot off the Knitting Needles! My Marmalade and Flames Shawl using the Plumpy pattern from Andrea Mowry! I made it for the Yarniacs Colors of Fall Knit-a-Long. I used Mrs Moon Plump DK and Malabrigo Silky Merino & Rastita. I’m pretty happy with it for my first real brioche project!

The correct plural for Octopus is apparently “hotly debated” among grammarians. I have so many questions. How many other debates are there? How fierce do they get? Who decides these debates? Is it like the Oxford comma, which I have strong feelings about? Inquiring minds (me) want to know.

If Lisa Murkowski's next opponent doesn't run an ad saying that at a critical moment for our nation, Murkowski showed *less spine than Susan Collins* it will be a colossal failure on the part of their campaign.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

The ugliness of this bill doesn't stop.

Senate Republicans also voted against your right to breathe clean air.

Schumer and Jeffries should condemn this and demand an apology from the President - or they should resign, or be primaried.

A quarterly update: 165 books!

I’ve been knitting a different temperature blanket like project this year.

This is a book shawl, each 2 rows is one book read with the color corresponding to the genre. I’m reading a lot more non-fiction than anticipated. #knitsky #booksky 💙📚🧶 Pattern in ALT.

First Pride Month finish.

I made this to honor my eldest child and to replace my chair shawl at work. I’m hoping it is a subtle show of LGBTQIA+ support at my federal government office that made me remove my pronouns from my signature line.

Pattern in ALT text. #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶

honestly one of the most encouraging recent developments is the naked opportunism of Governor Gavin Newsom, and I pray that there are copycats
