#WDNCW #ranttime

We do not care that 2026 has (thankfully) finally ended because we still have three more years to go with #cheetosatan and his devilish crew. We are only 25% up the hill that‘s Everest, and we really want to put up our tent and hunker inside for a while. Still, we‘ll keep on fighting and resisting because IT‘S WORKING. Slowly but surely … it‘s working.

I'm not just sad by the murder of the genius Rob Reiner and his artistic wife. I am ENRAGED by this ignoramus's reply. It is beyond despicable. It is psychologically sick and heinous. Every single person who voted for this maniacal, delusional narcissist as our president needs to take a good, long look in the mirror at yourself. Because how you can live with your choice is beyond me. The asshole is PURE EVIL. #ranttime

Librarybelle Seeing this response made a bad day even worse. I just cannot fathom horribleness right now. 😡 3w

dabbe @Librarybelle I am sorry to have added any pain to your day. 😢 That's why I use the hashtag #ranttime. You can block all rants if you block that hashtag. 3w

Librarybelle Oh! Not your response! I meant a certain someone‘s response to the tragedy. Yours is spot-on in my opinion. 3w

Hooked_on_books I think he‘s doing 2 things here. One is that everything has to be about him, of course. But I think part of him, before it became clear that it was the son, assumed one of his followers did this and was trying to deflect. How do you have to feel about your own supporters to jump to that conclusion? It says so much about the state of our country right now. Bad, bad, bad. 3w

Hooked_on_books @AmyG It‘s completely insane. I‘ve been wondering for so long how on earth we got here. When did people get so hateful? It‘s such a toxic environment for everyone. 3w

dabbe @Leftcoastzen “Sociopath“ is spot-on. He has absolutely no capacity to feel for anything or anyone except himself.

Hi, 👋

I'm going to do something a little different during #MidwinterSolace ❄️

I thought it would be fun to do a little reflection on the year. It's just for fun, so please don't feel pressured to share.

🕯What has inspired you this year?

🕯What grounds you at this time of year?

🕯Do you have any seasonal traditions?

🕯Are you doing anything seasonal this weekend?

It is the ONLY thing giving me hope. #ranttime 💙✊🏻💙 3w

#wdncw or any day of the week when we say F this man. The hurt that he is doing to so many is unconscionable. Not to mention the harm that he is doing to Autistic individuals & their families. For the millionth time vaccines do not cause Autism. He is continuing to sow distrust between the public & the scientific/medical community. I will never forgive all the people that voted to confirm this man & let him do what he‘s doing. As a 3rd baby died

Wrightslaw Special Education Law: Third Edition | Peter Wright, Pamela Wright

This is beyond frustrating/devastating/inexcusable. It has been bad enough that they have pretty much dismantled the civil rights division for the OSE. This is just another FU to parents of disabled children. You can‘t administer the law that abides IEPs & 504 Plans if you‘ve fired everyone. I know that this is a developing story but wanted to put it out there to call your reps please. This is Eugenics. #ranttime

Sparklemn Atrocious 😖 3mo

CBee Well, shit. I hadn‘t heard about this. I wish I had words but I‘m just sad and stressed. 3mo

ncsufoxes Not to mention a few weeks ago they gutted most of the services for blind & deaf students because they were considered too DEI. Once they made DEI taboo, it was easy to start to gut anything for disabled people because disability needs inclusion. Unless you want to shut out an entire population & make them nonexistent…which is what they‘re trying to do step by step. Disability Rights are Civil Rights. 3mo

AnnCrystal ✊🏼🤬✊🏼💝. 3mo

Bookwomble Our right wing "Labour" party is seeking to do similar things - not as extensive or as in your face as the Republicans, but the impetus is the same: if you are not assessed as an effective unit of production, we will not "waste" resources on you. 3mo

Bookwomble Sorry, by "our" I mean British, and, in this case, by"British" I mean English, as the other nations of the UK tend to at least try to be more progressive. 3mo

Handbook of Reading Research | Michael L. Kamil, P. David Pearson, Elizabeth Birr Moje, Peter Afflerbach

#ranttime As the WH is about to announce the “cause” of Autism like it‘s some f-in game show contestant. Reminder that Causation does not equal Correlation. Just because a pregnant woman might have taken Tylenol (the one safe pain reliever during pregnancy) does not mean that it caused Autism. Then recklessly recommending Leucorovin (a cancer drug) as the treatment is not science. My husband (a geneticist) read the study that they are basing their

ncsufoxes recommendations on. It was done on an extremely small sample size. Additionally the children in the study had a specific genetic marker, which is why the drug possibly helped some. There are over 100 genes associated with Autism. You‘d be hard pressed to find most drs to push for genetic testing, much less getting your insurance company to pay for it. Drs will be bombarded with calls to have this drug given to their child. It just makes the job of 3mo

ncsufoxes Drs more complicated. It continues to sow distrust in drs & the science community. Families of Autistic kids need: better supports, better training for drs & therapists (oh the stories I could tell), better access to Medicaid, community supports/programs, better access to education/IEP goals, waiting lists that aren‘t years long to get evaluated, better job supports after high school/college…the list goes on & on. Ugh, this mom is tired 3mo

TheBookHippie So so tired. 😵‍💫 3mo

AmyG All I can say is this administration needs to make up these theories and paint them as truth. Then they can proceed to make America healthy by protecting people from made up situations. It‘s all insanity. (edited) 3mo

IriDas @ncsufoxes Yes, families need support and a radical shift in society so we don‘t have to spend our lives wondering what will happen to our children when we die. This culture is just so awful while simultaneously being so self-righteous (“America is the greatest” blah blah). It is exhausting just to function each day in this place. 3mo

lil1inblue I'm so tired. I can't even write a coherent response. But I'm right there with you. This is infuriating. 😡 3mo

AllDebooks Well said. ✊️ 3mo

ncsufoxes In case anyone is interested, there was a paper written last year by JAMA & published on NIHs website. They analyzed the Swiss study that was done over 25 years studying 2.5 million children. Guess what JAMA & the study both concluded- Tylenol does not cause Autism or ADHD or other neurodevelopmental disorders. 3mo

ncsufoxes https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38592388/ Read it before they pull it 3mo

dabbe Just when you think it can't get weirder, or more chaotic, or more dangerous, or more ANYTHING ... this. I stand with you on very wobbly, tired legs, but I'm still standing! 💙✊🏻💙 3mo

ncsufoxes We had a discussion about this last night at dinner. We went over Causation, Correlation, Confounding variables, longitudinal studies, sample size with our 10 & 16 year old. Teaching them young. 3mo

CBee I saw the news about this but couldn‘t bring myself to read it. Not today, anyway. Thanks for summing it up for me 💚😢 3mo

TheBookHippie @ncsufoxes I read that too. Sigh. 3mo

TheBookHippie @ncsufoxes 💯 3mo

ncsufoxes Stepping back up on my soapbox: what continues to be one of the most effective tools to assist families & Autistic children is access to early intervention. I have friends that still work in EI in NC & they have posted recently that due to cuts to Medicaid EI is set to lose up to $800,000. What that means is that the qualifications for eligibility will raise, which means more kids fall through the cracks. I have a kid that was missed. I worked in 3mo

ncsufoxes EI for many years. When we moved to CA my middle child was 2. The first thing I did was refer him to EI because he wasn‘t saying many words. In 2011 in CA a child needed to have a 50% delay in order to receive EI services (my kid had 33%, he would have qualified in NC). He was missed & then our pediatrician wouldn‘t listen to me. I knew that there was something & I screamed into the void. I always advocate for EI because it can make a difference 3mo

AnnCrystal
🥺😢😘💝. (edited) 3mo

Chrissyreadit yes 100% - the reduction in EI has been purely financial even though research has demonstrated the significance of it. I have so many drs here who will not consider autism as a dx- (instead prefer ODD- but that is another soapbox) We will continue to just share accurate information. My own anger over the ignorance of people in this country and purposeful damage by this administration is exhausting but every time i see posts like yours i reme we 3mo

Chrissyreadit are each others community and that is vital in these times! 3mo

ncsufoxes @Chrissyreadit yes ODD is a favorite of drs instead of Autism. We were told Intermittent Explosive Disorder, not Autism (because our son due to anxiety & flight/fight would run out of drs offices). Again better consistent training across psych & drs is needed. Delaying access to vital services & supports costs more money in the long run, as well as denies families the help they need. It‘s a story that many families share all over the US, sadly 3mo

ncsufoxes All ODD does is basically label the child as the problem (not saying that children are the problem but this is the perception that drs & schools will take away). Drs don‘t think about the further stigmatization that labels like ODD/IED add to the child & family. I had many discussions with my son‘s IEP team about changing his area of eligibility due to stigmas. I pushed for a different category because I didn‘t want the negative to define him. 3mo

Chrissyreadit i completely agree!!! 3mo
