I find it remarkable that on the day Netflix released a blockbuster (and expensive) set of episodes everyone is talking about a tiny show from Canada, which most people watched illegally, that cost a tiny % of that Netflix show.

This period of year is a reminder of the importance of having friends & family who understand us
Do you need support from your loved ones but don't know how to get them to listen?

Do they want to support you but don't have the tools?

My workshop for the families and allies of autistic adults is a 5-week space that will guide them in allyship.

Integrity is not sticking to one’s beliefs; integrity is fidelity to seeking the truth.

Ghost is a giant Pacific octopus, a species that lives just three to five years.

Ghost is also dying, and her last act will be privately tending to her unfertilized eggs that will never hatch.

Anytime I hear 17 different versions of a story involving Person X, I always assume that Person X has tried out a variety of lies on different people. Is that wrong?

I wonder if anyone has ever looked into what happens when elected leaders with authoritarian tendencies create massive law enforcement divisions accountable only to them that are comparably funded to the military but specifically designed to be used domestically.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

A habit I started many years ago that I would heartily recommend to anyone is this: any time I buy a novel or nonfiction book at a book store, I ask the staff to recommend a poetry book to also buy, preferably by a member of a marginalized community. I can’t tell you how much it’s enriched my life.
