Important PSA for parents of white boys. If you don’t want you sons radicalized do these 5 things.

as disability pride month draws to a close, I feel compelled to share this again. this year has been marked by intense hardship and tenfold appointments. it feels unconscionable to take on more commission work with an outstanding queue; so reminder this tipjar exists. anything helps, genuinely.
throughout the last year, I have struggled immensely with my health and the resulting, continuous medical bills ; I have refused gifts and assistance, but many have asked how to help! I have finally, after being urged by friends, set up a small “helping hand” tip jar.
