"In some ways itβs like feeling like youβre an alien all your life and finding out you actually are. Like Superman, you have weird strengths (you can fly?! and see through things!) and weird weaknesses (augh, Kryptonite!) and you donβt know why."

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated. I can't express how it feels to be held in such love and support. Literally, since I'm getting compression tights with some of the money. :)

Hi friends! Some new diagnoses have given me a better idea what's going on health-wise, but also confirmed that I can't go back to work yet. I set up this fundraiser if anyone would like to help. Please only give if you can spare it--your presence in my life is already a gift! gofund.me/abd68fdf6

Friends, this wonderful human is going through a lot of the same things I have in the last few years, but with not enough resources. If youβre able, could you drop her a few dollars? Even $5 or $10 makes a difference. I would be so grateful.

Finished book 90 in 2025 (125/1000). My third read by @jfkantrowitz.bsky.social and a lovely way to finish Christmas Adam. She has such a way with words.
