Hello, BlueSky! Anyone else here writing #SFF or other speculative fiction? Fellow neurodivergent? New Yorkers? I'm all of the above and also a #lawyer by day. Whatever I write, I'm doing my best to make more of my protagonists disabled. Happy to talk!

This is a great lawsuit and such a great example of what attorneys general can do to make life better in small and large ways.
