I don't study Tourette's, but I'm a fan of those who do.
I've been trying to build a #Tourette syndrome starter pack, but lots of folks I would want to add I haven't yet found on Bluesky. Please share and/or sign up.

Like everyone, I'd love to see John Lithgow return in some capacity in Dexter Resurrection season 2, but my number 1 pick for Ripper would be Christian Camargo (Rudy).
It sounds like Detective Claudia will return, which makes me very happy.
