Did Carney and the Liberals run on an austerity platform?
I don't recall this, but suddenly there's no money for the things we should be "Elbows Up" about. While there's abundant money for the military, surveillance and security.

What we can’t lose sight of in all of this discourse is the fact that they’re targeting Autistic people - just like the Nazis did.

This is a form of eugenics.

Don’t get caught up in the minutiae, and miss the bigger issue at hand.

There are some scientists starting to look into the connection between people with migraine and autism/neurodevelopmental disability

(Migraine, like Autism, also has strong genetic links.)

Suspect that even if acetaminophen was taken for migraine pain, it still wouldn’t be cause of Autism.

Oh man 😭😭

We also know that parental illness in months prior to pregnancy is also indicated in higher rates of Autism.

Suspect that it’s underlying genetic likelihood, triggered by viral illness.

Not analgesics.

But Dr Oz is gonna make bank on this, and scientists are losing funding… so…

For example, we know that COVID can cause neurodevelopmental disabilities - if acetaminophen is the only thing a pregnant person can take to reduce pain and fever during infection, is it the medicine or the infection causing them to take the meds?

I’ve just done a quick glance thru that study.

My question is: were the studies ref’d looking only at Tylenol use, or why the pregnant person was taking it in the first place?

We know that fever & other illness can induce neurodevelopmental disability.

Were they taking Tylenol b/c they were sick?

🇺🇳 UN Gaza Update | Sept. 18

▪️ Collapse of Lifelines:
OCHA warns Gaza City’s last lifelines are collapsing. Eleven UNRWA shelters for 11,000 displaced Palestinians were hit in last five days. Over 1M displaced since March, 56K since Sunday, many sleeping in streets or tents. 200K displaced from...

We don't deserve her

And is now fired.

Like...

"The most privileged can recognize both the harm our indulgences already create and the chance that harm will boomerang back in our direction: the COVID denial that excludes [LC] patients and COVID-responsive people from public life also heightens everyone else’s risk of “falling by the wayside.”"

I dunno, but they defo deserve to, as well.

Literally begging all of you to make the same connection with SARS2/COVID.

Whomp.

Whomp.

This hire is pretty OnBrand™️ for the BCNDP.

finally, an overpaid consultant from Ontario! I was worried that the government might actually talk with the people who live in the neighbourhood about their collective future PHEWF crisis averted

how did *we* let that happen?

when we stopped advocating for remote opt's to be made avail for high risk, disabled, marginalized & vulnerable ppl

when we decided it was 'too hard' (yes, VSB parent "advocates"'ve said that to me)

we said it's ok to exclude some ppl

some eventually becomes any/all

@reddyforchange.bsky.social is one of only two trustees who has ever taken advocacy for inclusion seriously; it's not surprising to see she'd also be one of the first people denied inclusion beyond disabled students and parents

begging ppl to understand this is where we ended up b/c they refused to make COVID accoms

there is NO reason @reddyforchange.bsky.social couldn't attend virtually

in fact, they usually have at least 2 tech ppl dialled in via TEAMS

precedent was set when we let them remove COVID protec'ns
