I have a hard time articulating why I love this book tracker enough to volunteer - especially since I've never managed to stick with any tracker for Anything anywhere near this long

This article & the fact it's full of people like the author are why 💜✨

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

I've said this before, but I feel pretty strongly that the building of concentration camps - and now, the inevitable disappearance of 1,800 people from those camps - is the biggest story in American public health right now that isn't being treated like one

Good to see professional societies coming out against the misinformation from the administration re-emphasizing that acetaminophen is safe in pregnancy .

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning.

They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then:

No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism

AND

Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

When they launch propaganda like this it's a multi-prong attack. We cannot let them renormalize things like autism & adhd being diseases to cure instead of another neurotype

We were just getting to where it was starting to be safe for us to exist openly

We do not need cured or locked in work camps
Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.
