The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.

Huh. I both pay taxes and have written poetry. Guess my Autism is fake news.

Traveling? Measles is still spreading around the world and in Canada. Get vaccinated before you go to protect you and your loved ones.

If you return from travel with a rash and fever, speak to your health care provider. Learn more at: www.toronto.ca/community-pe...

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner.

With the tumultuous climate, especially in Nebraska and Iowa with anti-trans bills, our week is geared toward anti-bullying and trans sexual education. Bullying occurs within Native communities as lateral violence because we have internalized the colonial gender binary & replicate it onto our own.

Okay, so I could use some help bouncing back while I'm still waiting on some other payments, so if you could help a fella get ahead of some bills and replace the fan that just broke that would be rad right about now:

Yesterday is a day I'd rather forget.  Even with what I thought was proper paperwork,  I was denied entry in US.  So,  they put you in a holding room,  take your passport and phone,  and wait. In my case 4 hours,  sitting in a shitty room in Newark International Airport in New Jersey watching all the people being detained arguing their case...brutal.....
After. 2 hours,  was told I could either be held until an Immigrantion Judge could hear my case, ( could take days) or they put me on a flight back to Toronto.  I took the flight,   but they hold you for the last minute,  than I was escorted to my gate by 2 armed us customs dudes,  walked directly  to the plane door,  they give me an envelope with my passport and phone and I walk on the plane,   last one on,  and now people are giving me looks...ffs
At least they didn't have me in handcuffs 
Sucks,  but ironically,  the young US customs guy in charge of my file or whatever was a good person. He knew the red tape or bullshit was happening,  he was sympathetic and even understanding,   a good person.  As he was finger printing me,  finger by finger,  he actually was apologizing,  and when he found out I was a composer,  I did hear him tell his supervisor to treat me okay,  
But big regret not being with Amabile Choirs and Sherryl Sewepagaham and our songs this weekend.

I spent all last night dreaming I was making pasta only to wake up before I could take a single bite. Not even the fettuccine test run before I moved on to the pumpkin ravioli.

Cradling my cat (an orange girl named Honey) in my arms like a baby. She has her paws up as if to say, "rub my belly."
