Odin passed away earlier today.

I sat by him the whole time and we were surrounded by our entire family.

I’m completely crushed. He meant everything to me and I am in no way ready for life without him.
I was listening to a Blu Cantrell radio station on Spotify and the Pokémon theme song was on there?? 😭

It’s always the same old tired excuses to hate on Black artists

“I couldn’t understand him”

I literally have an auditory processing disorder and I understood Kendrick perfectly fine

ABA “therapy” prioritizes the needs and comforts of those around an Autistic person instead of prioritizing the needs and comforts of the Autistic person

Trying to force a nonspeaking autistic person to communicate with speech causes so much harm. AAC devices are genuinely such a wonderful way of giving nonspeaking people a tool to communicate. It’s so much healthier to accommodate a disability rather than pretend it doesn’t exist.

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

There needs to be an organized widespread response to this. A functioning opposition party would be leading the charge.
Pay. Attention. To. This AND CALL YOUR REPS.

I’m old enough to remember when RATM said, “Fvck you, I won’t do what you tell me.”

Let’s do that…

As a new resident of Maricopa County, I’m looking for advocacy groups to join and donate my time and energy to. If you have suggestions, please send them my way!

Moderate and conservative voters simply do not reward Democrats for straddling the center or for their rightward lurches.

We have been trying this for decades; it does not work and actively harms communities this party claims to represent.

There’s an apocalyptic firestorm in LA right now and the cable news networks can only talk about dumb shit that Trump said.

I have mixed emotions putting former school board member in my bio, but at the moment I feel mostly relief

Tuesday marked my final meeting as a member of the AJUSD Governing Board. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the students, staff, parents, and community members who supported me over the past four years.

I am incredibly proud of everything we’ve accomplished together.
