As part of my ongoing, Sisyphean effort to educate the public and even other professionals about the problems of current diagnostic system I present this article. I don't agree with everything in it, but it is generally right on point.

My wife loved this poem enough to center our wedding ceremony around it 20-some years ago, and she decided this year to have someone draw up a nice copy of it. I made the #frame. It’s made from #sapelle which I love for its shimmery grain pattern and rich color. #woodworking

Which finish do you prefer? The left #bowl I finished with #shellac, while the right one I finished with #boiledlinseedoil. Try to ignore the different design. The shellac is glossy while the BLO is matte. Same wood. Thoughts? #woodworking

An unusual project for me—Penn State’s herbarium asked me to make a demonstration of how #fern leaves evolved over time as a #puzzle that kids can do. Never made a puzzle before, first time using a scroll saw! #woodworking

On Max and Prime now, it's not a Ghibli masterpiece, has some unfortunate script issues IMO, but it's very pretty and worth watching especially if you like cats. Maybe not the best for very young children.

Sorry, #MitchMcConnell, you don't get to be on the right side of history by only now, at the end of your career, turning against your party and being the sole "no" vote. You helped to create this mess. Now you've lost control of the monster you helped create.

The Laken Riley Act was opposed by Laken's parents and by ICE, because its mandates actually make Americans LESS safe. In addition, it will cost billions, and could deprive you of needed services. This law is about cruelty, not law enforcement or common sense. Also wouldn't have saved Laken.
