I am happy to see Rosie pushing back to poke at the consciences of her peers. Societal norms are devolving into “me first”!

Where has all the empathy gone? (Pete Seeger remix)

No man [or woman] is an island
No man [or woman] stands alone…
We need one another
So I will defend…

Too germy, too long
Entrapped by expectations
Too loud, too bright, too...

the world is upside down, the appropriate response to deafening silence in the wake of mass-disabling of our children is to scream at the top of your lungs. That's what Violet was doing on Tuesday. That's not anxiety, that's humanity.

As an artist, Rosie reflects upon how society responds to people with disabling conditions. The program that accompanies her current exhibition is so well conceived. Please share it!

Colin, your poem that accompanies Rosie's artwork made me cry. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing! ❤️

Impressive! The poster are so moving. What a wonderful way to provide agency for youth who are riding the roller coaster of unpredictable symptoms popping up uninvited.

If only there was an “Undo” command for innate immune system reprogramming.
