It is simultaneously frustrating and exasperating the number of calls I get from poor white people who are angry that they are the victims of the policies they support when they're used against racialized people and immigrants.

This made me laugh this week:
"So sad that this generation of white boys cope with loneliness by turning into incels… whatever happened to sitting ur ass down and writing a song called Iris? Putting pen to paper about how down bad you are? Let’s bring that back."

But someone who is very immunocompromised shouldn't get a live attenuated vaccine.
It has been our practice in both countries, for decades, to protect all immunocompromised people by having everyone else (everyone who can get vaccinated) get vaccinated.
No longer. 🧵

The MMR vaccine is a live, attenuated vaccine.
The immune system is not like a light switch, it's not like the immune system is either on or it's off. Immune functioning is more like a dimmer than an on/off switch. And the immune system isn't like a single bulb, it's a whole bank of them. 🧵

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

You can't separate this from the Atlantic article claiming their are too many students with disabilities. It's a moral panic meant to push out young people with disabilities from access to resources and to reify ableist bigotry. It's exactly what they did to trans people.

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

An annual reminder:
The cognitive & emotional toll of staying in contact with abusive family can be both significant & difficult to recognize.
There's a kind of social contract that abusive parents have violated. You owe them nothing. Nothing.
Thanksgiving doesn't change that.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
