Here’s a much better pic of them. #peonies

Thread! (With misinformation-countering facts.) :)

There is no "Good ABA therapy," as "Removing aversives from ABA has not resulted in changes to the underlying theories & aims of ABA; that is, to make people with [intellectual & developmental disabilities] ‘indistinguishable from peers.'” thinkingautismguide.com/2025/03/when... #BetterWaysThanABA

TLDR, Soundcloud has put it in their terms of service that must agree to letting them use your music to train AI. If you're on the site, get off now and move your stuff elsewhere.

“Ontario has the biggest measles outbreak in North America. On a per-capita basis compared to the U.S., Ontario‘s outbreak is 21 times bigger.” While it’s possible Canada tests more than the US and thus finds more cases, these numbers are still terrifying. Vaccinate your kids. Get your boosters:

Shout out to @microsoft.com They dropped a law firm that made a deal with Trump, and engaged Jenner and Block who are fighting Trump!

Trump is singlehandedly revitalizing the global center-left

"The vitamin A treatments that Kennedy has supported in the response to Texas outbreak have put some kids in the hospital after they were given toxic amounts of the vitamin" RFK Jr is NOT a doctor. He's a snake oil salesman and eugenicist Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Stay home when sick

I reckon we have trauma anyway. Who says it’s avoidable? Where’s the evidence. I don’t know anyone autistic or like adhd in the world and know some kinda rich ‘uns , who don’t have trauma.

You can’t Make America Healthy Again if you refuse to address food insecurity, poverty, lack of affordable housing & healthcare, racism, bigotry & ableism People need a living wage, healthcare & housing to be healthy The current regime wants to blame us for being sick and/or poor. Don’t let them.

They need to work on new areas now in schools

Permanent employment does little to shield Australian academics from fears of losing their job, particularly if they work in universities with high overseas enrolments #highered #EduSky

Unsurprisingly, IQ being used as grounds to validate eugenics isn't even a new play. Disabled, Black, Brown, and Indigenous activists have been discussing the history of intellectual ableism and its use in validating eradication of marginalized people for a long time. 😭

I think this is something everyone can benefit from checking in with themselves on! Ableism is wildly common, ingrained, and accepted which means it's unfortunately quite easy to not realize you're engaging in ableism, internalized ableism, or lateral ableism. But you can learn, grow, and change

Ableism and ignorance are the real epidemic.

Being disabled doesn't make you immune to ableism and/or eugenicist mindsets. Internalized ableism is very hard to dismantle. It takes time, and we all move at a different pace. Be open to listening to and learning from those with a focus on disability justice.

Harvard’s putting up a fight from the academic sector. Where are our business leaders?? The silence is deafening. The latest No Mercy / No Malice: www.profgalloway.com/breaking-the...

State organizations that advocate for disabled residents in New Jersey and Arkansas announced that they will have to limit their work after not receiving the full funds they are owed by the US federal government.

“One meeting [DoD Chief of Staff] Mr. Kasper led this month, with a group that works with veterans ….devolved into a recounting of an evening Mr. Kasper and a representative of the group spent at a Washington strip club, said a person who took part in the session.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/u...

I need you see how these two charts are related. imagine “The Enabler” or “The Golden Child” in the Narcisstic Family gets job at “The Organization”. Their most fundamental survival skills are 1) knowing go along to get along and 2) appeasing the person in power.

hey can we not act like narcissists are inherently abusive and manipulative? or that theyre more likely to overstep your boundaries? genuinely what is wrong with some of you. its hard to believe youve ever actually interacted with narcissists ngl - brought to you by a very tired girlthing with NPD

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

This is a sad but interesting question. How many grad students will leave and where, if anywhere will they go ?
