LLMs like ChapGPT don't know anything. They don't have knowledge. So if you ask them anything you then have to properly check the answer. So you might as well just...start by...getting the answer yourself using proper research, save some time.

So Autistic Burnout is in fact a known identifiable thing? And is 100% what has been happening to me in the past few months? psychcentral.com/autism/autis... Like I had the THOUGHT "I'm burnt out from trying to be Normal," but it turns out THAT WAS LITERALLY CORRECT?

It was bad enough before! Excuse me, you do NOT get to use my family's genuine disabilities as an excuse for your racism! If I say "But I'M on SSRIs and Adderall and I NEED them!" and you come back with "That's okay, you're a middle-aged white woman, you're not the problem," I would punch you.

Do folks understand that this is OUR research? That we paid these scientists to do? And even if they eliminate the entire CDC, we always always should have free open access to that research bcz we paid for it and it’s ours??

“The very fact that I am having to publish this anonymously in a country that has the right to free speech written into our Constitution is an indictment of what is happening.

Public libraries are amazing! Did you know you can borrow a book from any library in the country and return it to any other library? Did you know they have subscriptions to huge amounts of national and international media that you can access?

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I was researching some of this when writing Death at Morning house and reading all these Nazi documents that were like, "Wow, the US is so good at racism they are our heroes." Black history shows how this battle was fought, which is why they want to ban it.

The position I'd like to see House and Senate Democrats take is pretty simple: We refuse to cooperate with Republicans on anything until they stop breaking the law and trashing the Constitution. We want Musk out, DOGE dissolved, and the Trump administration complying with federal court orders.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. But what the autistic people in your life hear when you spread that widely debunked misinformation is that you would prefer to have a child die a painful death from eradicated communicable disease than to be like them. That's nasty work. Hope this helps!

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

Hi, by telling your kid that what they’re reading isn’t a real book and forcing them to read something they have zero interest in, you’re going to make them not want to read and you look like a hypocritical dick for doing so.

No, using an em dash a lot isn’t a sign of AI because the em dash is not punctuation, it’s a vibe. It’s a feeling. You don’t use it because it makes grammatical sense — you use it because your heart tells you to. AI couldn’t possibly do it well because it lacks one.

Walking in to NASA’s JPL today as a woman in science leadership felt almost like a protest. They can take us off the webpages and the walls, but we will still be here, absolutely crushing it, and supporting our community while we do it. Happy International Day of Women in Science, everyone.

Trump/Musk may have silenced the CDC and NIH, but they can't stifle free speech itself. The American Medical Association is using its YouTube channel to provide updates & explainers on everything from H5N9 to why eggs cost so much. Check em out!
