Watching the New Year's Twilight Zone marathon on Syfy.
Neurodiversity depicted alllll over the place.
But, you know, "Autism didn't exist when we were kids."

So they're saying acetaminophen use during pregnancy protects against neurotypicality. Good to know!

Donald Trump can't stop talking about eugenics.
Even his commentary on the NFL draft isn't benign.

Truth Social post by Donald Trump: What is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID? Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. He’s also a very good coach, streetwise and smart! Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness. He should be “picked” IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN. Good luck Shedeur, and say hello to your wonderful father!

I studied poetry as an English major. Later, I got an M.Ed. in special education. Care to guess which program I credit as my best preparation to understand and communicate with my students? (Hint: it wasn't the master's program.) 1/2

A GROVELING APOLOGY to my parents, the American taxpayers, RFK Jr., and everyone who's ever been inconvenienced by my complete lack of baseball skills.

Our tax dollars are paying for this.
I am paying for this.
This is being done in my name.
This is awful.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Only a witch will float. If she's a mortal human, then she'll sink to the bottom of the river and drown. Proof of innocence!

Screenshot of text: At one point in the wide-ranging, nearly two-hour conversation, Lutnick also said that if Social Security “didn’t send out their checks this month,” his “mother-in-law, who’s 94, she wouldn’t call and complain.” “She’d think something got messed up, and she’ll get it next month. A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling and complaining,” the billionaire businessman said. “Anybody who’s been in the payment system and the processes, who knows the easiest way to find the fraudster is to stop payments and listen, because whoever screams is the one stealing,” he said. “Because my mother-in-law’s not calling, come on, your mother, 80-year-olds, 90-year-olds, they trust the government.” “So, the people who are getting that free money, stealing the money, inappropriately, getting the money, have an inside person who’s routing the money,” he said. “They are going to yell and scream.”

Black handwriting with bright yellow curlicues on white paper, stating: "High-IQ people" don't exist. "Low-IQ people" don't exist. IQ is no more than a score on a human-created test on a given day. It is not a characteristic. It is not part of a person. Anyone using IQ to rank, exalt, or devalue people is practicing eugenics." The words "practicing eugenics" are written in thicker ink. The initials HLF are in the bottom right corner.

Or trans people. Or people with ADHD. Or disabled people. Or immigrants. Or anyone.

Seventeen states are suing to declare Section 504 unconstitutional. The central argument seems to be that calling people the names they prefer and making dress codes gender-neutral would be so onerous that they must end all disability-based protections against discimination.

There is no such thing as a "low-incidence kiddo."
Human beings are not incidents.

"High functioning" and "low functioning" are repackaged ways of saying "more human" and "less human."
Stop.

It's the year 2024 and there are professionals in schools who still tell kids, "You don't say no to me."
Um.

School staff: PLEASE USE YOUR NAME!
There's already a Mr. G and a Ms. B, and we've already had three subs who called themselves Mrs. D.
