Ask for feedback online on your creative projects. Really, do it!

It’s easier to know if you are going the right directions, if ideas work or not.

Feedback isn’t personal criticism. It is personal development - and not all feedback has to be followed to a Tee

My son is autistic, largely nonverbal. He reads a lot, is smitten with all things Lego. He excels in school. He finds his ways to communicate.

There’s nothing wrong with autism. The rhetoric drives me mad.

It’s on us to make the world easier for neurodiverse folks, not to push them to conform.

Neo Cab is back on the App Store!

We had to re-submit as a brand new game & unfortunately lost all of our reviews. If you've already enjoyed Neo Cab, please consider leaving a new review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you haven't played Neo Cab yet, now's a great time to check it out - the first chapter is free!

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying β€œhow do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled β€œINFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming β€œall that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying β€œHere you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. πŸ–ŠοΈπŸ¦‘

There's NOTHING in this existence that it's more important to be than yourself. Fully, without reservation or restraint, just exactly who you are. Denying trans folks that opportunity is denying their basic humanity.

A number of anthropomorphic animals, drawn in the distinct style of Scott Benson, march together under a banner that reads: NOT ME. US.

I can’t wear this shirt anymoreβ€”it started falling apart after years in heavy rotationβ€”but recent days have reminded me that this message, this spirit never went away. This is still a winning idea. This is still how we build a better future. (One or two of you, I suspect, will recognize the artist.)
