I’ve seen denser crowds on a Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.

Won’t he be surprised when he reads:

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
I love my whole autistic self.
RFK, fuck you.

8/8

To him I could never be anything.
Along the flowers,
A weed, most pale.

Deeply feeling,
Pattern seeking,
My quick, clever mind, a cautionary tale,

Look out, he warns,
kids like me
will never write a poem.

But somehow
I managed to scratch this one out
and I can’t wait to show him.

According to his
worm eaten brain,
this is an epidemic!

But the fix is in!
He’s on the job,
With methods strictly nonacademic.

In record time
He’ll find a cause
For what makes me myself.

Behold: the Vaccine!
His chosen scapegoat
in the name of health.

6/8

(As if his administration
Wasn’t deliberately doing
that
very
thing.)

5/8

Here’s the full poem: There’s a man
at the helm of our health
Over in DC.

No white coat.
No medical oath.
Yet he controls you, and he controls me.

He says I am preventable,
a problem,
a “disease”.

He claims that what
I share with my children,
“destroys families.”

4/8

Share your work and tag it #iwroteapoem If you want to go the extra mile, mail it to him. I think he would be really curious to see our work, you know, for research purposes.

Are you autistic, too? I invite you to write a poem for RFK. If you're new to poetry try a variation on roses and violets. Or if you're writing about RFK himself, you might want to explore the limerick. There are so many ways to write a poem, just like how there are so many ways to be autistic.

2/8

RFK's most recent offensive ableist statements felt like a call to action. He said an autistic child will never write a poem, among other things. Well, I wrote this one for him last night.

These are all elements of basic human rights, and trans kids deserve to be respected, honored, and cherished just as much as any othe kids, today and every day. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️ 🧵 3/3

Let trans kids play sports.
Let them use their preferred bathroom. Let them be their authentic and beautiful selves, with the pronouns that they feel fit them. After all, they know themselves best. And in the end, let them just BE. 🧵 2/3

Happy #transdayofvisibility! It's a good day to speak out to protect and uplift trans kids (and grown ups, too)! These people deserve so much love and support, and we can all do our part to cultivate a future that is more inclusive and welcoming for them. 🧵 1/3

If Elon wants to go to Mars so much then he should just go ahead and go. One way please.

It’s very easy to tell them how shameful it is to pull up the ladder on those who fought beside you for your place.

This was the only kind of news update I wanted today. Thank you.

When you send in your sketches at 11:55 on the deadline day. Technically still on time! 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃😅

Testing the Flashes app with this drawing my daughter did to teach me “how to draw a horse better.” Horses have always been a struggle for me, so this horse lives at my desk now.

Two more of baby. Baby is unbothered by bedtime, but my baby hates it.

My 2yo adores a hyper-realistic baby doll that I’ve had since I was a baby. It always creeped me out a little, but she has bonded with “baby,” and now I kind of love baby, too. Some facts about baby:
1) Baby is always naked.
2) The proper way to carry Baby is upside down.
3) Baby is durable.

LIVE IN THE MOMENT This moment is bad

It’s genetics. Solved it for ya, RFK!

3 panels from a longer kate beaton comic 1. (and so in america) a man bursts into the oval office, potus reacts "Mr. President! we took it too far!" 2. other man looks out window worried "the canadians heard us makign fun of them, and got all fucked up on hockey" 3. a bunch of angry canadians wearing plaid and holding hockey sticks

multiple news outlets reporting on the anthem-booing at the hockey games last night really does feel like this kate beaton bit lmao

Happy that the fudge worked out! Honestly things have been hard since the inauguration. My family is directly affected by recent EOs, and it hangs like a cloud over us. Nice to focus on something else today. HCD always makes me thoughtful, especially this year. Thanks for following along, folks! 🖤
