You matter.
Being unique sucks medically. You are not your weirdest disease or diagnosis.
You’re getting older, weirder, creakier, odder, & more interesting.
Find your flock and fly forward.

I promise, “you” are why I post pain. Sharing mine doesn’t help me because I have a human reading who insists on reading into every word, causing hurt to be cruelty at times.
It doesn’t matter being understood by apathy. It matters being understood by people like me. We are uniquely broken.

Your annual reminder that for Christmas, Laura and Mary each got a tin cup, a stick of peppermint, a small sugar cake and a shiny new penny, and they were both delighted.
Here's hoping your Christmases and holidays are as full as that.

I am not taking a photo of my dog this morning because it would be thoroughly obscene, but it makes me happy that he lies on his back spreadeagled and fast asleep, cuddled up next to my leg, waving his wedding tackle in the air. It shows he trusts us completely.

A reminder ahead of tomorrow to look after your sensory needs!!! Sensory self-care is very important especially for autistic people who are typically hyper-sensitive or hypo-sensitive to different sensory stimuli.

In his TEDx talk, Steve argues that "education is not the filling of a pail," but "the lighting of a fire." As teachers, we should present ourselves to our students NOT as "distant experts," but as "fellow travelers" who are on the same fun learning journey (but a little bit ahead). Check it out.

No words can describe the horrific shooting that occurred at the school in Madison, Wisconsin.
But let these words of a 10-year old girl sink in as to their thoughts. 💔

Minnesota is praying for our neighbors in Wisconsin as America once again mourns the loss of innocent, young lives at the hands of gun violence.
Gun violence should not be a fact of life for children in our country.

Dear President Biden,
In the spirit of Dark Brandon, please use one of your Executive Orders to CANCEL ALL STUDENT DEBT.
That way, if trump wanted to reverse it, he'd have to disappoint all those families and reinstate all that debt.
You have immunity.
Just do it.

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.
