To all the artists creating in these times: thank you. It’s not easy to make beauty, truth, or meaning when the world feels chaotic. Whether it helps you breathe or comforts others, your work matters.

Art doesn’t need to fix the world to be meaningful, sometimes it just needs to exist.

The rainbow pride flag bookstack pendants are sold out!

I do plan on making more of these in the future - but I'm currently out of stars so I don't know when that will be (or if they'll be different). There are at least a couple in stock for every other flag! 🏳️‍🌈

Whenever neurotypical people like RFK talk about autistic people a lot I get worried. They see us as a problem to be solved, & not because they want to *help us* but because they are *tired of dealing with us*. They want to "fix" us so we won't be a "drain" on them or society.

Happy Nonbinary Parent's Day to those who celebrate! 💜

More eugenicist rhetoric.
Now it's your fault if you get sick?

On functioning labels, support needs, and why I mean all autistic people all the time: it is never rhetorically useful to respond to eugenicists setting conditions on personhood by proving that you meet the conditions. It was never about the conditions, and they will continue to move the goalposts.

Yes, many #autistic people can do the things that RFK Jr. says we can't do. But it's important to acknowledge that some autistic people can't do some or all of those things, and our worth and right to exist are not determined by what we can or can't do.

A person's worth is not determined by whether they pay taxes or use a toilet unassisted.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.
