For the record, my ASD daughter has a college degree (with honors), is a polyglot, has a great job as an active, highly respected park ranger, is well-traveled, well-read, and lives a full, satisfying, and independent life. RFK Jr has NO business running HHS, where he makes sweeping BS statements.

There is no time for despair.
No place for self-pity.
No need for silence.
No room for fear.
We speak. We write. We do language.
That is how civilizations heal." - Toni Morrison

NaNoWriMo: partnered with vanity presses that prey on authors, had a child grooming scandal, accusations of being a hostile work environment and all volunteers quit or got fired, started heavily promoting AI and called people ableist for being anti-AI
Also NaNoWriMo: No one wants to give us money 😔

Which is why everyone should have ALREADY unplugged and gotten rid of their Alexa devices! Listen, I used to love my Alexa for a variety of reasons. But there’s no convenience it offers that’s worth the invasion of privacy in this current world. Get rid of ‘em!

Democrats in the Senate need to understand: We have to see you fight. We have to see you willing to take a risk. Yes, it's fucked if the government shuts down. But it's fucked if it stays open with no way to restrict the bullshit being done. You need to inspire us in the base, so fight, goddamnit.
