I’m a dad first, but also a son, a brother, and a curious soul. Photography and writing are how I process the world, and how I share it. I think deeply, speak honestly, and advocate fiercely for neurodiversity.
Can we stop the "is Bo Nix the franschise QB" nonsense now? He is, and he deserves it.

I used to think Bass Pro Shop and Buc-ees were the most American stores. I give you...Scheel's.

Good play by the ref on that Green Bay touchdown. That call on Moss was BS, gave GB a free 1st down.

I bought a cold brew coffee maker a couple weeks ago. It's amazing. I don't drink hot coffee, and cold brew is more appealing to me.
Using Fire Dept Coffee, Shellback Espresso. It's nicely smooth, but bold. It slaps you in the face then kisses your cheek. Good stuff.

My focus in 2026 will be:
- Promoting the beauty of Colorado through my photography at Far Afield Media
- Promoting neurodivergent awareness and acceptance through work that I'm in the planning stages

My son never had a real birthday party. He never had any real friends until he joined an adult day program at 19. We tried our best to give him good birthdays, but no one ever showed up for his birthday but family.
I saw the exclusion of special needs children up close. That's one reason I fight.

IDEA just turned 50. Here’s to wishing the Act as many years as this nation needs to get its shit together in giving disabled people a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment possible. From the TPGA newsletter, by @ejwillingham.bsky.social:

Language is important. George Carlin taught me to pay attention to the language we use when communicate. So her I go.
I don't "have" Autism. I'm Autistic, or I'm an Autistic person. Autism isn't something I carry around, it's something I am.
I don't gatekeep the language, you be you and I'll be me.

I used to criticize the use of the phrase "creating space." I thought it was just therapy-speak. But the work I'm embarking on has changed that. I fully believe in the necessity for creating space, safe space, for neurodivergent thinking. At home, in the workplace, in life in general it's necessary.

It's my firm belief and the hill I'd die on that if you put a group of neurodivergents in a room, they'd solve the world's problems. The establishment wouldn't like the solutions because they're out-of-the-box and would require an uncomforable amount of change, but things would be solved.

Society should take care when they expect neurodivergents to conform and mask ourselves. They may not like the mask we choose...

This changes the accepted narrative of neurodiversity. Our strength as human society comes from the diversity of the people within it. Our experiences and how we process them give us such varied perspectives. How we intake, process, and submit information varies in such wonderful ways.

Part of unmasking and the acceptance of your true self is the rejection of those voices in your head that tell you you're going to fail.

I wanted to be a writer, and all I heard was how hard it was to succeed.

I don't want to "cure" Autism. I want to cure ableism. I want to demolish a system that treats us like second-class citizens.
I want a society that's willing to let us exist on our own plane, in our own time.
I want Autistic people to feel comfortable speaking up and speaking out without fear.

Netflix agrees to buy WBD and all the Snyderbros are out of the woodwork saying the Snyderverse is returning.
Sure, with Ben Affleck who said he wouldn't return as Batman, Ezra Miller and all their baggage, Gal Gadot whose Wonder Woman 1984 was a disaster, and Henry Cavill in between movies.

When I was younger, I used to describe my mind as being a Ferrari engine that needed to be in at least 3rd gear or I mighy as well be asleep. Even then, I was describing having ADHD without understanding it.
