For Discovery #SharkWeek Ev wants to share about hammerhead sharks: The position of their eyes gives hammerheads nearly 360-degree vision, allowing them to see above, below, and to the sides at the same time—though there is a small blind spot directly in front of their heads.

It’s Discovery #SharkWeek and Ev’s rocking is wearing a shirt from a prior year from Target. They haven’t made great choices lately, but they still have #disability inclusive ads. Fun shark fact: some sharks lose more than 30,000 teeth in a lifetime.

It’s Discovery #SharkWeek and Ev is wearing an old favorite from @LandsEnd. We were so excited when they included kids with #Downsyndrome in their catalog and hope to see more #inclusive ads! Fun fact: The Greenland shark may live >400 years!

Evan’s wearing this fun shirt we purchased during a visit to the Audubon Aquarium in New Orleans. #SharkWeek reminds me of all the wonderful conservation and research efforts that help us better understand Sharks! 🦈

#Advocacy didn’t come naturally to me. Now it’s second nature thanks to my son Evan, who has #Downsyndrome. Yesterday I spoke on a podcast on Advocacy 101. I hope you will listen! downsyndromecenter.libsyn.com

My son who has Down syndrome was helping with the laundry. He’s done it before, so I gave him space. About 20 minutes in, the washer sounded noisy. He’d thrown in the entire pod container. I retrieved it but the pods were dissolved. We’re going to have the cleanest clothes.

@nflbluesky.bsky.social it’s disappointing that you chose to remove #endracism from the end zones for the Super Bowl. Please honor the players who make up your league.

If you ever have a chance to go to a school and participate in a sendoff for #SpecialOlympics, do it! Witnessing a whole middle school cheer on my son was so moving! #inclusion

My son has #downsyndrome and is very dental phobic. Today he did incredibly well, sat in the chair, let them recline it. He let them scrape plaque. Our Dentist is Dr. Angel. She lives up to her name. She’s encouraging and patient, especially with the kids with greatest needs.

This guy is part of the Spartans league at @bowlerobowl.bsky.social in Limerick. He’s such a @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social fan that even his bowling ball is an Eagles ball!
