My wife was admitted to the hospital on January 1st with advanced esophagogastric cancer. The prognosis is not encouraging, but we’re hoping for a miracle. She’s staying strong, positive, and resilient, and we’d appreciate your prayers and kind thoughts during these challenging times.

Apparently it needs saying, again, as autism is used as an excuse for bullshit, again, but:
AUTISM DOES NOT MAKE YOU LESS AWARE OF YOUR ACTIONS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES. IT MAKES YOU HYPER-AWARE AND ANXIOUS ABOUT THEM.

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is a hero 💙
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde was nearing the end of her sermon for the inaugural prayer service on Tuesday when she took a breath and looked directly at President Trump.
“I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” said Bishop Budde. nyti.ms/4jtuyHA

Vaccines don’t cause autism. But also, autism is not something that needs to be prevented. It’s just a different way to be & the only “problem” is that some neurotypical people are uncomfortable interacting with autistic people who are arbitrarily forced to adhere to the way we do things.

You know what we haven’t had in a while? A good ol’ dancing mania. That’s the kind of cultural reset we all need. Let 2025 be the year we bring them back.

Les Québécois·es aiment vendre l’image d’une province ouverte et progressiste. Or il suffit de déménager dans une province dite conservatrice pour comprendre qu’il n’y a à peu près rien qui distingue le Québec actuel du reste du Canada: mêmes tendances rétrogrades, même rejet des valeurs de gauche.

Tired, flu-ridden me asked ChatGPT to check my class’s oral presentation schedule last week. It completely missed that one student wasn’t on the list and another was there twice. So... I guess our jobs are safe for now!
