more good news from tiktok: they’ve started blocking celebrities.

they’re calling it block party 2024. just blocking and ignoring countless celebrities who havent said shit about palestine. influencers, actors, anyone who went to the met gala, whatever, they’re getting blocked. and people keep talking about how cathartic it is, how good it feels, how they never realized they could DO that. there was some kind of subconscious law against blocking famous people, but it’s broken, and people are LOVING it. and it’s WORKING. a social media/digital advertising coordinator was talking about how ad companies are PANICKING, because they can’t accurately target anymore. so many big influencers, including fucking LIZZO started talking about palestine the MOMENT their follower counts started going down. and the best part? no one is forgiving them. lizzo posted a tiktok asking people to donate to palestinian families, and all the comments just said you’re a multimillionaire. put your money where your mouth is. blocked.

i feel like i’m witnessing the downfall of celebrity culture, right here right now. people are waking up.

PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP. so many comments saying “blocking x celebrity was hard until i remembered they don’t care if i die. it got a lot easier then. they aren’t my friends, why should i feel like im betraying them?” what a beautiful thing to see

does this not fill you with immense pride and joy

"Based on data gleaned from the nearly 10 million military dependents it insures, the U.S. Department of Defense has repeatedly called the evidence supporting ABA “weak,” noting there is no research to determine whether the small number of participants who show improvement — 15% — do so because of treatment or simply because a child has matured. After a year of the therapy, the department reported to Congress in 2019, 76% of 16,000 participating autistic children saw no change, and 9% worsened."

Okay before we get anyone on here saying "water is wet", here are some other bullet points about the article.

Honestly, this whole article is a gem. Remember, while "water is wet" studies seem trivial, we need them in order to get our side of the story taken seriously. Research with credible data that backs up what we've been saying is important!

TL; DR?

Huge study with lots of input from autistic people tells us ABA sucks!

Thank you for this addition. A better encouragement for this article than I managed!

Also the thing about 'water is wet' statements is that when it comes to attempting to change actual policy, especially in health care, and especially when convincing insurance companies to for out the cash for something, statements of 'this is obviously bad' or 'everyone knows x or y' don't cut it.

If you want to change something that's a policy, or even just a convention, then you need to prove that there is reason to make that change.

I'm in archaeology and had a student tell me a study we were discussing was pointless because 'everyone knows people had bad teeth back then', only to not be able to answer when I asked 'how do we know for sure if we don't count the bad teeth?'

Studies like the one in the article are massive achievements because it's a huge dataset and it is providing the actual data to back up the 'water is wet' statements. Now when someone, especially an insurance company, tries to suggest that ABA is the only therapy that could possibly be offered, you can point to this study and go 'why are you paying for shit that doesn't work?'.

This! Is! An! Amazing! Addition!

All i'm saying is that Mario v Donkey Kong is great but if they're willing to randomly revive that old rivalry, I think they should do the same with another dead but very iconic rivalry.
