Autistic people are not broken. They are not burdens. They are artists, athletes, workers, friends, partners, and taxpayers. They live full lives. And yes, they write poems. They go on dates. They contribute to their communities every single day. Autistic people deserve dignity and respect,

So stay steady. Don’t lose faith in the Constitution. Americans have always found a way to fix things—even when our government tries to ignore the very laws it swears to uphold.
Remember: when tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Today marks 11 and a half years of walking 10K or more steps every single day — no misses. I’m a big fan of the benefits of moving, especially outdoors.

My favorite thing about early AM flights out of SJC? Two bookstores in this airport. And at least the one closest to my gate opens early (5AM). 👏🏻
DFW (where I’m headed) doesn’t have a single bookstore. It’s a book desert.

When we Christians interpret the Bible with an unforgiving literalism towards our fellow citizens, yet interpret it with graciousness towards our preferred politicians, that’s when we can be certain we are just using it to leverage our own power and privilege rather than to actually love others.

Yay! We had lunch at Blue Bayou. Monte Cristo sandwich and a Mint Julep. Plus the lanterns overhead are lovely.
