You ever consider branching out to other autistic arts?
Yours is a wonderful service to autistics. Humans in general.
We're strong in visual arts, spoken word, performance...
Oh yeah. Comedy too.
Perhaps I could volunteer if that would sway you, my friend.

They say autistic people don't make friends. Don't feel grief.
My friend Billy died alone in a polar vortex. Years later, he still laughs in my autistic heart.

A spoken word piece about family wounds, estrangement & choosing to live unapologetically.
From Elvis dying on Mount Marcy to stalking Death Valley stars—this is what shameless looks like when you stop trying to be the son they ordered.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Starving civilians is a war crime. Whether in Gaza or through SNAP cuts.

Geneva Conventions call it collective punishment. Trump's targeting programs where autistics are overrepresented.
