In addition to all the ableism, blaming moms for taking tylenol during pregnancy or vaccinating their children definitely feels like a recycled version of the "refrigerator mom" theory of autism.
Every single day under this administration I have been reminded of why disability history matters.

Me watching the President of these States United claim that, checks notes, Tylenol causes autism and also the Amish aren’t autistic. We live in hell

WTF RFK Jr.: "I know what a healthy child is supposed to look like. I’m looking at kids as I walk through the airports today...and I see these kids that are just overburdened with mitochondrial challenges...and I know that’s not how our children are supposed to look."

The way BlueCross BlueShield has raised the allowable price for my medications (that I don’t take for fun, by the way) by anywhere from double to a whopping ten times the price I was paying a few months ago. Very cool

If you want to see the dark heart of antitrans hatred in this country, this log line from @nytimes.com gives it voice even moreso than the open cruelty of Walsh et al. To frame the defense of trans children as a political bet, a salvo, a pawn of strategy, requires a callousness I shudder to think of

One thing about Weston unfortunately is I love firing off emails during the witching hour. The daytime steals my spoons and focus too easily these days. (Yes, I know about the schedule email function but then I get nervous if something will change between now and the morning, shhh)

Have we been abandoned so thoroughly by everyone? That the president can declare that there are only two genders and that he will target "transgender ideology" to thunderous applause. How isolating this is. I'm not sure who I’ll be to survive to the other side.

I’ll actually try to be Present here for real! A big thank you to @techconnectify.bsky.social for both making me reminisce about my teenage self’s days on the Internet AND for helping me to be more aware of the ways in which I’ve become algorithmically complacent despite Knowing Better™
