The “comforting lie”. People have to believe that our disabilities are our fault, that we aren’t trying hard enough and that we could get better if we really wanted. They can’t face the reality that you can lose your health & never regain it. Not everything kills you quickly.

Every day: Israel’s genocide in Gaza has made clear how unfree we are--NYPD arresting Columbia university students calling on their university to divest, or USC cancelling a pro-Palestinian, Muslim valedictorian's speech, or the continued refusal of US elected officials to heed…

Since I started doing webinars, people have been asking me to make some for their teenagers. They said that it’s really hard to find reliable information about mental health and neurodiversity which is aimed at them. It’s taken me a long time to get round to it, because I wanted…
The problem with the "science of learning" is that it's not responsible science. You can create narrowly constrained experiments to prove many things that all fall apart in a larger context. Respecting that fact is a core value for serious scientists.

1/7 Time for my periodic reminder about one of the most important educational research findings of the 20th century: the Eight-Year Study. Back in the 1930s, 30 high schools around the U.S. turned traditional practice on its head, especially for college-bound students...
There is no respite from #PANS or #PANDAS. Even 'good' moments are tarnished by the inevitable flares caused by the latest virus/inflection or wobbly tooth. #PANSpandashour
Some of the worst things I’ve noticed about chronic illness are. Knowing there is no cure Unsolicited advice No one really understanding Faking being okay Feeling unreliable Feeling awful 24/7
When adults are pressed to answer the question of why the oppression of children is supposedly fine when they realize the oppression of other groups is bad, the best they can ever manage is "but they're CHILDREN!" as if it's self evident that they deserve to be subjugated.
ten years as an antiquarian, hearing nothing but "my relative kept these untouched in a box their whole life but they died, and I don't want this stuff" has radicalized me. annotate the books. use the china. wear the clothes until they wear out. your life should not be a museum

Every single day I wake up and read about the most harrowing atrocity I've ever seen in my life, then the next day it's topped by something that's somehow even worse, and every single time it's a crime that simply could not have happened without Joe Biden choosing to enable it.
Capitalism is destroying everything—lowering the quality of everything, reducing access to essential needs, producing extensive waste, deepening inequality, shortening lifespans….. Can we be serious yet?
If school was so great, why did we celebrate summer vacation like a temporary reprieve from prison? The truth is, most of us hated school because it was a place of confinement and control, not genuine learning. It's time to admit that forced schooling is a form of child abuse.
A core tenant of gentle parenting is to find the underlying "why" beneath your child's behavior yet most gentle parent coaches, who are mostly white women, refuse to acknowledge the underlying reason for child oppression...the white captialist patriarchy.
What I can’t understand is how is it that everyone doesn’t see this?

that he was only kidding. I left the room and brought back one grape popsicle and two orange popsicles. This dad's face LIT UP and he thanked me with the biggest smile. Working in peds, parents are your patients too and they absolutely deserve compassion and popsicles.
Highlight of my shift: went to discharge a pt and her mother told me that she was promised a popsicle. I said, "but of course, I've got orange, cherry, and grape." She said, "grape, "her brother said, "orange," and her father said "orange" and then started laughing and told me
Ironic that there was way less covid "during covid".
I'm sorry but you can't say "I've never had covid" if you never test.
Ever wondered how they so confidently declare "vaccines don't cause SIDS"? It's because they don't include immunization records in autopsy reports. But will this change going forward? Of course not, silly.
HB288, a bill that would require coroners to include immunization records in the autopsy report in the unexplained deaths of infants one year of age or younger, failed to pass.
First of all, fuck that shit. Second of all, I hate all these women with soft voices who talk like that to conceal the fact that they're fucking monsters. NPR has been minimizing Covid since 2020 and now their new CEO is like: Don't focus on the truth, you plebs ha ha ha
NPR’s new CEO: “Seeking the truth and seeking to convince others of the truth might not be the right place to start. In fact, our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that’s getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done.”
I love this country. The House can't pass universal healthcare, student loan forgiveness, or protect abortion rights, but they can magically get enough votes to police our language around a fucking genocide.
I was just on a zoom w a group of white women and when we asked what it’d take those silent on Palestine to speak out, a nurse in the Bay Area said “I think it’d have to affect me directly.” Appreciate her honesty. Whiteness is depraved, inhumane & selfish.
Why do people have a hard time grasping the idea that a man can BOTH be attracted to women, and also despise Women or hate everything that has to do with femininity? What is so hard to accept about this??
Niggas really be almost 30 & have never treated a woman well in their entire life & think it’s some fly/playa shit. No nigga, you like boys
One of my favorite patriarchal contradictions is that women are expected to have enough intuition, discernment, etc. to choose good men to partner with but men can also never know that their friends and associates are abusers, rapists, etc. because their friends are hiding it.
This gross Washington Post headline is carefully crafted to suggest that Israel kindly granted safe passage to Palestinian healthcare workers, who were then killed by some nameless assailant. Imagine writing a hard investigative report and having your editor slap this shit on it.

Why does Biden support such disgusting antisemitism?
🚨BREAKING HAPPENING NOW! Israeli Military Police have Invaded a Anti Zionist Synagogue in Jerusalem and are beating the Religious Jews Inside! Zionism is Not Judaism!
Black American-Palestinian solidarity is real. Neither has ever forgotten the support received from the other. We share a common oppressor & understand the plight of being dispossessed, held captive & denied our existence as a distinct ethnic group
#Pans #Pandas is such a debilitating & 💔 illness - there needs to be more awareness & improved treatment pathways 🙏🏻💚 @DrNighatArif #PansPandasHour
Now 6.4K families with children with #Pans #Pandas in @PandasPans support group, many with multiple children suffering. Then there’s the adult cohort. Numbers unknown! Left untreated conditions carry into adulthood. Conditions do not miraculously disappear at 18! #PansPandasHour
Why is it that so many kid extracurricular activities run over dinner time? Now that my kids are older nearly everything is 530-8 time frame so we have to choose between family dinner & their activities It shouldn't be this way. When do families ever have time to be together?
Silence is an access need. Therapist: You make it sound like you'd fire a disability support worker for constantly chatting to you on shift. Me: Well, I have done! You try having someone talk at you 4 to 6 hours a week in your home when you're Autistic with ME/CFS and migraine.
