We all have to wait for our "invitations". That's how it works, here in the Lower Mainland anyhow.

Vaccines don't cause autism. What does? Mostly genes.
The number of people diagnosed with autism as screening has improved and the definition of autism has been expanded.

Scientists say most brain changes that contribute to autistic traits occur before birth.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Even better (for blood sugar especially) when made with Spaghetti Squash. I'm a veg-head that likes vegetables. I like adding things like grated zucchini and minced fresh herbs as well.

Back to Babylon - Viggo Mortensen
Accept & forget difference... that separates & leaves
us longing or repelled. Why briefly return... to play in broken places, to collect infant shards, coins, fossils,
or the familiar empty canisters & casings that glint
in blackened dust?
