Autistic. Neurodivergent. Curious. Perpetual Learner. Love animals. Background in wildlife rescue/volunteer work. I believe we all deserve to be heard and feel valid. 🫶🏻
I didn’t write this to cause harm—I wrote it because harm was done. I stayed silent to protect my daughter. But she’s grown now, and the truth deserves to be heard. This is for the children who were made to feel invisible. I’m telling it now.

Got thoughts? I do—too many. So I started The Salty Sage, a Substack where I share sharp (and sarcastic) takes on politics, weird nature facts, and neurospicy musings. Think of it as Bigfoot’s favorite reading material—if he had WiFi.

Just a 40-something-year-old Xennial going to college, trying to figure out my role in the resistance. Lots of free time on my hands. Lots of talents to offer. Use me, resistance! I have pent up energy.

There have been a lot of plane crashes in the news lately, but the statistics show that it’s not an unusually high number in 2025. When there is a commercial plane crash, we are attuned to other crashes, so it appears that there’s a pattern when there’s not. Data from the NTSB, link in comments.

In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."
![The serious concerns over how the Order will detrimentally impact transgender
youth cannot be overstated. One Washingtonian, as her parents describe her, was a bright and
gentle soul who loved playing musical instruments, trying new things, and playing Magic the
Gathering. She was excited to learn Japanese and the impact of gender-affirming care was
immediately clear to her family. Her parents described that “her joy was clear with every new
milestone in her transition. She was so happy to get to the next step, to get closer to presenting
in a way that was true to herself.” But the day before the presidential election, she shared,
“[t]omorrow I get to find out if I’m illegal.” After the election, she asked her parents if they
could move to Canada because she was fearful of new restrictions on transgender youth and
worried about losing access to gender-affirming care. In January 2025, she took her life. After
the Order issued, her parents expressed that the outlook for transgender futures looks scary and
shared fears of what ending gender-affirming care would have meant for their daughter’s access
to therapy, puberty-delaying medication, hormones, and hope of surgery. Her parents have
expressed fear for the many lives who depend on gender-affirming care and that what happened
to their daughter does not happen to any other children.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mlmouohgzbjofidukcp4pxf2/bafkreich7jyv3lnkmd5r234itpdhtvavgblc46ai6d47tb4i7oxgfga2ym@jpeg)
