It’s kind of wild that after seven million people were in the streets protesting, the president posted a hallucinated video of himself wearing a crown and shitting on Americans and then proceeded to start demolishing parts of the White House

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.

Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.

The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go.

It’s impossible to be a Seattle mom, wine or otherwise, without knowing and loving at least one trans kid

Will defend them with my life, and I’m pretty sure that wine mom would too

I made awkwardly long eye contact and said in a quiet meaningful voice “I LIKE YOUR SIGN”

In Seattle terms, we’re married now

After 2024, pundits brushed off the Resistance as cringe. I submit: Yes, it was. And cringe is good. Cringe, in fact, will save democracy.

Resistance Is Cringe

But it’s also effective.

Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

ABA is atrocious. It started with Lovaas who used electric shocks to “train” autistic people (and perform conversion therapy). It wears a friendlier face now, but it still prioritizes behavior over everything, including autistic people’s feelings and needs.

Hey am also a really slow runner post can we what helped my heart rate was to just do zone 2 as long as possible. You feel ridiculous. Esp when you have to literally stop and walk all the time. But it works and then you can start mixing in faster workouts

Sorry for unsolicited advice!
