Research shows that people with both ADHD and autism have higher rates of chronic pain, fatigue, and immune-related issues.

Why? Because their nervous systems are constantly in overdrive, flooded with stress hormones and sensory input their body can't figure out.

Oh.

Oh, this makes sense.

STEM is better when it includes everyone.

With the International Day of Women and Girls in Science behind us this week, it’s a reminder that when women are pushed out, we don’t just lose talent, we lose solutions to the biggest challenges of our time.

I am watching the documentary of David Lynch called The Art of Life and have discovered that he and I share an experience.

He talks about smoking dope and going to see Bob Dylan, and being so unimpressed that he walked out.

I too smoked dope before a Bob Dylan concert and walked out, and my friends had to come find me later, lying on the grass looking at the stars.

So I don't know what your connection to David Lynch is, but I'm feeling pretty cool right now.

Even if my writing never matters to anyone else, it matters to me. It is my heart, my soul, and my breath. Pick up a pen and breathe with me.

Art vs Artist 2025. I did a lot of work that I can’t show yet. But others that I could. I had hoped to be more productive, but I still kept things moving. Mom life is a busy life after all. Happy new year! Here’s to a beautiful 2026. #artvsartist #kidlitart #illustrator #happynewyear

Higher Ed retaliation is real.

The fact that so many survivors stay silent isn’t proof that it doesn’t happenβ€”it’s proof of how well universities suppress it.
