They’re trying to silence us. They are trying to erase us. They are targeting our children. They are criminalizing our medical care.
So what do we do about it? Get loud, get proud, and keep showing up as our gorgeous, beautiful selves.

Oh yay! A beach ball launched itself from the pickup truck ahead of me. It giggled & soared into the next lane. I passed it as it bounced back the way they had come.
Oh no! My side mirror showed its fun-filled freedom curtly crushed under the wheel of a semi-truck. I could almost hear the pop. 😩

~48,000 #ACA exchange enrollees are at risk
~39,000 Medicaid expansion* enrollees are at risk
*(aka "AHCCCS" or "Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System" which is perhaps the most awkward name for a Medicaid program I've seen)

Sorry, no time to respond to RFK, Jr.’s misguided priorities & damaging rhetoric—I’m too busy fighting for the Medicaid services & educational access that allow my 25-yr-old autistic son & others like him (1 / 2)

Should add that while RFK Jr. is talking about how autism destroys families, the Trump administration sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the father of an #ActuallyAutistic child to El Salvador and says without evidence that he's a member of MS-13.

If you’re in AZ, families like mine who rely on Medicaid waiver services could use your help. Click to read the Weekly and contact your reps please.
Harming vulnerable families over political games and budget cuts. Bad ideas headed for a vote (because of course they are). Time to write veto requests for a heap of garbage bills, friends!

The restorative relief I feel after having two quiet, creative flow hours to work on personal writing is worth it even if I never get this piece done enough to publish.
I’ll remind myself of this next week when my brain tells me how much time I’ve “wasted.”
