Congratulations!!! So well deserved!

Dawn_GG @dawngg.bsky.social · 3d

Yes, I have butt cheeks, but I'm angled so that they aren't showing and my black dress is covering them.

It's on the outside of my thigh and just the tiny point at the bottom comes close to my knee - it was definitely spicy though!

Oh man, I got scammed (ish). It appears that the real Mark Hamill is not following me :( It must have been a fake account because I just saw "him" follow me again but when I clicked on it, it said the account was suspended. WAAAAHHHHHH

This one hits home for me. My son Levi has Down syndrome — he’s bright, funny, determined, and just lit up a billboard in Times Square during the NDSS Buddy Walk.

Please join me and speak up: our kids deserve better than uncertainty about their rights. 💙

Please take 5 minutes today to speak up.
Students with disabilities — and the families who fight beside them — deserve stability, support, and respect.
We can’t stay silent while this happens. 4/5

OSEP provides oversight + guidance for how states support students with disabilities. Without it, families face uncertainty about rights, services, and enforcement of the IDEA. This isn’t just a staffing cut — it’s a gutting of protections. 2/5

🚨 The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) just fired most of its staff.
As a parent of a child with Down syndrome, I’m furious — and terrified for the families, schools, and kids who rely on these programs every single day. 1/5

Two books that were both from last year but I read this year and absolutely could not put down - Some Desperate Glory by @emilytesh.net and To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose.
