Just another autistic queer adoptee activist writing and making art. They/he. Building a community healing practice, slowly, intentionally. You can find more of my creative work at kaeldstrom.carrd.co Substack: substack.com/@kaeldstrom
Support that requires self-erasure is not support, it's managed survival.
You can't force alignment in places that already regard you as "other".
But you can align yourself with something deeper and truer to your needs.

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

A very dark and foreboding landscape abstract with black granular watercolor in drip patterns and red almost blood like marks below. Not exactly calming but mysterious.

Street art inspired paper collage
Today, everything felt hard, but I stuck to my 5 minute commitment. If it was feeling “yuck” today for you-you’re not alone. Thank you for still choosing to show up & yes, staying in bed counts!🥰 #collage #art #mixedmedia #collageart #abstract #abstractart #sketchbook #artoftheday #blueskyart

Fun fact! We could be using the $75 billion allocated for ICE on literally anything else! Like essential services that help people exist! It’s almost as if these issues + our priorities have a lot of overlap!
Also people definitely can’t afford things if they get shot in the face!

Autistic unmasking isn’t “letting everything out.”
It’s the slow & challenging work of stopping self-erasure.
Unmasking means learning which environments cost us our health and which ones allow us to stay.
If unmasking looks messy, that’s because the mask was holding everything together.

I see what is happening in Minneapolis. I hear what Trump and the administration is saying. It’s pretty obvious what is happening here.

Update on Venezuela:
The Senate killed the war powers resolution. Two Republicans who voted YES last week - Hawley and Young - flipped after Trump personally pressured them.
But 50 senators still voted to check his power. And the House votes next week.
