I can sew children’s clothes like no tomorrow. I’d love to offer to people in need whose kiddos (up to size 12Y) need a little smile and boost.
I can’t do it financially, so I do ask for shipping. I do it through Square.

People love to say this when you tell them you’ve been discriminated against or mistreated for being disabled
Just because someone technically shouldn’t do something, doesn’t mean they won’t

My not so hot analysis is that these autism groups have legitimate divides about how to approach autism and autistic people. Some of these will never be solved by civil debate. But RFK Jr.’s conspiracy mongering drains resources from these groups’ major priorities.
It ain’t the first time RFK has prompted this kind of enemy of my enemy statement, but it’s good to see each time.
WOW! Autism Society of America, The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network, the Autism Science Foundation, the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network and Autism Speaks put out a statement denouncing the CDC changing its website on vaccines

As Esau Lopez was asphyxiated for the first 17 minutes of his life on Earth, the atmosphere in the room remained serene, even ecstatic. Acoustic music crooned from a speaker in a modest two-bedroom apartment in a suburb of Pennsylvania. “You are a queen,” murmured one of three friends in the room.
Only Esau’s mother, Gabrielle Lopez, felt something was wrong. She was pushing hard, but her son would not be born. “Can you help [him] out?” she asked, as Esau crowned. “Baby is coming,” the friend replied. Four minutes later, Lopez asked again, “Can you grab [him]?” Another friend murmured, “Baby is safe.” Six minutes passed. Again, Lopez asked, “Can you grab [him]?” Continue reading...

Mayor Wilson’s unwillingness to listen to experts (both those who have been doing this work for years and those who are or have been unhoused), and instead insisting on charging ahead with more short-term shelters without pathways to permanent housing, is going to have a very real body count.
Portland Housing Director Helmi Hisserich has resigned after being "asked to step down without notice that my work was unsatisfactory.”
Her resignation letter, shared with OPB, points to a divide between how the city addresses its housing and homelessness crises.
