A reminder that there were two great #socialmedia platforms to replace #Twitter that were not controlled by a #Trump bootlicker: #Mastodon and #Bluesky, yet people decided to support another #Meta platform despite being tired of #Zuck.
The image features two logos side by side: the logo for "Threads" on the left, and the logo for "X" on the right, each set against a black background. A news headline indicates that “Threads surpasses X in daily active users.”

#HealthCanada has sent out an e-Notice saying that #Acetaminophen, sold under the brand #Tylenol, does not cause autism.
A Health Canada MedEffect e-Notice that reads: “As a subscriber to Health Canada's MedEffect e-Notice, you are being informed of the latest Advisory. Acetaminophen is a recommended treatment for fever and pain during pregnancy. Health Canada currently maintains that there is no conclusive evidence that using acetaminophen as directed during pregnancy causes autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders. Acetaminophen is commonly used to relieve pain and reduce fever. It has been used safely by millions of Canadians for decades, including during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. You can report any suspected adverse reactions to drugs and other health products to the Canada Vigilance Program by visiting the Adverse Reaction and Medical Device Problem Reporting page. Questions or comments? If you have comments or questions about the program, please contact us at medeffect.notice-avis.medeffet@hc-sc.gc.ca”

#Tylenol just put this message on their website following yesterday’s announcement by #RFK spreading misinformation on #autism.
Message from tylenol.com that reads: “We stand with science, and we stand with you. For generations, families have trusted TYLENOL® when it matters most. Tylenol is one of the most studied medications in history—and is safe when used as directed by expecting mothers, infants, and children. The facts remain unchanged: over a decade of rigorous research, endorsed by leading medical professionals, confirms there is no credible evidence linking acetaminophen to autism. Acetaminophen is used worldwide as a first line of defence for pain relief and fever reduction, at the recommendation of independent public health and leading medical professionals and in accordance with the product label. High fevers and pain are widely recognized as potential risks to a pregnancy if left untreated, especially in the first trimester. Remember to talk to your doctor. We prioritize science as the core of how we provide care, and that will never change.”

It’s really disheartening to see #pages that only post #stolen content have way more #followers than you, especially when they created their #pages after yours.

Painted this whale at the The Clay Cottage 2 months ago. #clay #glazing #whale #ceramic
A glossy blue ceramic whale figurine sits on a beige table. The figurine has a round body, a small black eye, a slight smile, and a raised tail. The background features teal-colored chairs and a blurred indoor setting. The image has a watermark that reads “Neurodivergent BC” repeatedly across it, along with a rainbow infinity symbol in the bottom right corner. These photos show a hand-painted ceramic or clay whale figurine, possibly in the process of being painted. The whale is painted in a light pastel blue shade with some visible brush strokes and has small, round, dark eyes. The setting looks like a crafting or art space, with a polka-dotted tablecloth and other painted objects in the background.

Wow, now Threads blocked me for a week just for commenting on a post. Like WTF, I was only agreeing with something @reberrabonbon.bsky.social said.
Threads app screenshot that reads: “Try Again Later. We restrict certain activity to protect our community. Based on your use, this action will be unavailable for you until 2025-03-14. Tell us if you think we made a mistake.”

Wow, so I see this #ableist video on #Instagram, and they won’t let me post a comment calling out their #ableism. #autism #autistic #eugenics
Instagram comment from neurodivergentbc that reads: “More neurotypical propaganda. Autism is something you are born with, you cannot "progress" or "regress" into it.” Below, text in read reads: “Couldn't send. Tap to retry” The image shows a child in a blue and white onesie standing in a room with a workout machine and red dumbbells on the floor. The text overlay on the image reads: “If a child can regress into autism Then they can also progress out of Autism” The Instagram username “healingwithhope_sierra” is visible, along with engagement metrics: 2,910 likes, 553 comments, and 1,044 shares. The caption reads: “I’m still in shock …”

Went to #report a comment for using the #slur today, and this is how the report feature works now. Is this an example of #Meta’s looser moderation rules? If so, I’m just gonna always select the bottom two and never use the top one, because stuff needs to be reported if I’m selecting report content.
A screenshot of Facebook’s “Report” menu for reporting a comment. The menu displays a header that reads: “Report” Below, a question is asked: “Why are you reporting this comment?” A warning follows: “If someone is in immediate danger, get help before reporting to Facebook. Don’t wait.” Three reporting options are listed: 1. “I just don’t like it” – Give feedback on something you don’t want to see again. 2. “I think it’s offensive” – Report things like nudity, hateful conduct, bullying, violence or animal abuse. 3. “I think there’s risk of severe harm” – Report severe harms like sexual exploitation, threats, terrorism, drug sales or scams. In the upper-right corner of the menu, there is an “X” button for closing the report menu.

Welp, it’s happening for me. #AppleMaps is now #deadnaming the #GulfofMexico for me. At least it’s in brackets?
Screenshot of Apple Maps showing the Gulf of Mexico, labeled as “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America).” The map displays parts of the United States, Mexico, and Central America. A details panel at the bottom provides coordinates (25.74543° N, 89.31878° W) and an address matching the Gulf of Mexico. The panel also includes options for directions and more details, along with a “1 Report in Review” section.

The White House page just posted this cringe today. 🤦
A Valentine’s Day Facebook post from The White House features a pink background with small heart patterns. At the top, a caption says, “Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️.” The central text is a rhyming poem that reads: “Roses are red Violets are blue Come here illegally And we’ll deport you” Below the text, there are two cutout images of men’s faces with a white outline around them. The man on the left is Donald Trump and has light skin. The man on the right is bald, with light skin and a serious expression. At the bottom, there is a faint outline of what appears to be the White House logo.

Literally misinformation. #Diabetes #meat #flour #celiac #autoimmune
A Facebook comment from Jack Kuhn that reads: “There is no such thing as diabetes. It’s a side effect of eating animal products. Don’t eat flour products, and you won't get side effects from it, and never have celiac disease.”

Hooray! #ChatGPT says #autism doesn’t need a cure! 🎉
A ChatGPT Conversation about autism cures. User: Does autism need to be cured? ChatGPT: Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition, not an illness, and there’s no universal need to “cure” it. Instead, the focus is often on providing support, understanding, and accommodations that enable people with autism to thrive. Many in the autism community prefer acceptance and inclusion over a focus on “curing” autism, as it’s part of their identity. The approach varies, but the emphasis is generally on helping individuals live fulfilling lives in ways that align with their strengths and challenges.

Went to The #Clay Cottage #Ceramic Studio in #Abbotsford today with my group. Picked out a #whale to paint because it looks so cool and it's simple for me to paint. He needs to go in the kiln now, and once he's done, he will be a vibrant blue.
A different angle of the same light blue clay whale sculpture, showing more details of its curved tail and textured surface. The whale’s eye is painted dark brown, and its mouth is subtly shaped into a gentle smile. The background reveals more of the teal polka-dotted tablecloth and a partially visible green clay figure being painted. The scene feels warm and inviting, capturing a moment of artistic expression. A handmade, light blue clay whale sculpture sits on a teal polka-dotted tablecloth. The whale has a rounded body, small fins, and a slightly curved tail. Its surface has a textured, brush-stroke finish, and it has a small black dot for an eye. In the background, someone is painting another clay figure, which appears to be a green creature with round white eyes. The setting has a cozy, creative atmosphere with a green wall.

Sadly, it looks like downloading #Lemon8 won’t allow you to evade the #TikTok ban.
Screenshot that reads: “Sorry, Lemon8 isn't available right now. A law banning Lemon8 has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use Lemon8 for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate Lemon once he takes office. Please stay tuned!”

Opened up #TikTok and got this message warning about the #TikTokban. Oh, the #hypocrisy! The #US decides that protecting itself from #China is…using #Chinese-style internet censorship? Welcome, #GreatFirewall of #USA!
A screenshot of a message that reads: “Important update from TikTok We regret that a U.S. law banning TikTok will take effect on January 19 and force us to make our services temporarily unavailable. We're working to restore our service in the U.S. as soon as possible, and we appreciate your support. Please stay tuned.”

Yes! @bsky.app is back above #Facebook on the Canadian #AppStore again, likely due to #Meta making controversial changes. Meanwhile, #Twitter is sunken down to 80.
