I'm pissed that they're blaming women for a nonexistent "autism crisis." I'm pissed that they're lying about what autism is and that mainstream people are normalizing what they're saying about autistic people. I'm pissed that this murderous grift is continuing. I'm just pissed.

I find I can’t muster a proper response to either the Tylenol madness or the U.N. appearance. At some point it is just too ridiculous. It would feel insane to offer sane commentary.

Even the BBC who hates Israel and Jews, says that Hamas is stealing food aid, but do go on blaming Israel.

Hamas steals food aid from hungry Gazans to pay its staff.
Side benefit: They get to blame Israel for hungry Gazans.

Observers are baffled at how Hamas can pay officials as Gaza is isolated and largely reduced to rubble.

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

When I taught childbirth education, vaccines were one of the topics. With empathy and understanding, I was able to convince most of my hesitant students to vaccinate their babies. It is possible, but it the educator must do it gently or it pushes the parent deeper into their anti-vax beliefs

In other news, the official Twitter (X) account for Elmo was hacked today spewing horrifically antisemitic tweets. They were deleted shortly after. The screenshots are out there, I’ll not repost them. Suffice it to say that the hate is real and people need to stop gaslighting us about it.

This cabinet card caught my eye. There’s quite a bit of 19th photo editing going on here. This little boy (indicated by the large lacy collar and style of dress) has an entire floral motif surrounding him that is overlaid to form the teardrop frame. There is a blur to the background behind him.

"Globalize the intifada” is not a call for justice. It is a call for antisemitic violence. At a moment of deepening danger for the Jewish community, all leaders must condemn both this language and the abuse of history it represents.
