- There were 4,000 children lowered into caskets due to firearms last year. Republicans don't care about those.

- There were 4,000 teen children who got breast implants last year. Republicans don't care about those.

- There were 4,000 teen children who got breast enlargements last year. Republicans don't care about those.

- There were over 146,000 teenage children who gave birth last year. Republicans don't care about those.

- There were 4,000 teen children who were diagnosed and prescribed hormone blockers (a completely reversible procedure) by a medical doctor, with the full knowledge and consent of the child and their parents. THIS, the Republicans care about.

Pro-Tip: Anytime you see a headline about a bill dying/passing "in Congress," always think to yourself:

That’s a Both Sides framing.

The ERA bill did not fail in the Senate today, it was filibustered by the Republicans. The Framing that it failed in the Senate is a way to distribute the failure to Both Sides.

The hostage note that K-Mac passed today is another one; not one Democrat voted for it, so the Republicans passed that bill, not The House.

@crooksandliars Because he's guilty as hell and is used to being surrounded by "yes" men and women in Florida. Well, DeathSantis, if you're running for a national office, you need to handle hard questions from journalists who aren't kissing your behind. Get out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat.

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics @autisticadvocacy I really enjoyed "How Not To Be Wrong" by Jordan Ellenberg, a non-fiction book on survivor bias and intuitive descriptions of complex math, and "Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir a speculative hard-science fiction book about, among other things, an allegory for how we would go about trying to stop an event on the level of the climate crisis

A woman in our neighborhood walks by our house every weekday morning with her kids and the family dog, probably walking the kids to school.

The dog jumps around, out of its mind with happiness the entire time.

A little bit later the woman and the saddest dog in world return home.

In response to questions about the EU's new #DigitalServicesAct, want to share 2 posts about #Wikipedia's designation as a Very Large Online Platform (VLOP)

First from Wikimedia Foundation's Lead Counsel: https://w.wiki/6dtq (the WMF is also working on a blog post, which we'll post when it's up)

And second is Wikimedia Europe's EU Policy Monitoring report for April: https://w.wiki/6du4

Both are worth reading in full, will also summarize in a 🧵

I believe E. Jean Carroll.

Today's word of the day in #Mikmaq

Sinumkw.

Sinumkw is a Canada Goose.

The Canada Goose is also referred to as the Cobra Chicken, those feathered f*cks, and are rumoured to be where Canadians store their anger.

Unacceptable

“civilian victims of the war died as a result of Ukraine’s decision to locate its forces in the vicinity of civilians”

Imagine blaming the civilians of Ukraine for being so irresistible to Russian cruise missiles that it’s their fault for being attacked

The military is stationed by civilians because Russia is attacking civilians

I will no longer donate to amnesty international. What about you?

Aim: destroy Murdoch😃: Carlson was a symptom. The disease is Murdoch. He's been destroying journalism for 50 years. Rupert is worried about Smartmatic. Fox agreed to hand over more docs to their lawyers after the lawyers complained in a letter to the judge about “obvious gaps” in the material Fox had provided. Judge David Cohen is seeking a “broadening of discovery” -Dominion lawsuit: started the demolition of Murdoch’s empire -Smartmatic would finish the job-: https://newrepublic.com/article/172287/rupert-murdoch-must-totally-utterly-humiliated

@Zumbador @actuallyautistic You don't have to be autistic to struggle with false questions. I do. How are you? Gets me every time. Much of the time I feel shit but the expected answer is, 'fine, how are you?' Then there's my wife's, Would you like to...?' Which means, 'I want you to...'

Had a lot of stress and anxiety these past few weeks and I’m feeling that physically right now.
Unfortunately this will go on for at least another week.
What do you do to cope with stress and anxiety? #ActuallyAutistic @actuallyautistic #autism
