And not just autism.

so many people warned about exactly this for years and major papers preferred to publish scare pieces about trans girls playing sports

The cast of Autobiography, a play written by Mahesh Elkunchwar appear together on stage at the end of their opening performance. From left to right - Sarah Hashmi, Denzil Smith, Lillete Dubey, Suchitra Pillai.

One of the perks of living in a city with a thriving culture scene - got to watch childhood crush from Hip Hip Hurray, Suchitra Pillai, and the amazing Lillete Dubey (who hasn't got her due in movies) live! Even their voices are just so powerful to hear in person. Kinda awestruck!

this is actually insane data. every single politician like @govmurphy.bsky.social who opposes the congestion relief zone wants more people to get injured in car crashes

A series of sticky notes on the window that follows the path of the sun

The sun is in my eyes... I could just buy and install blinds, or I can use my design thinking and UX tools to solve the problem creatively

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and pecan topping. Turned out way better than I expected. 😅 #baking

This is an amazing study, but the implications are genuinely horrifying. Suggests we should be investing massively more effort and resources into quality-of-life for unresponsive patients. And that speaking regularly to a comatose person—often viewed as magical thinking—is in fact deeply humane.

BMRCL needs to take notes

Though America has the impressive achievement of falling literacy in every age group 🇺🇸👌

Please take a moment to ask why an industry that literally wrote the book(s) on managing and betting on risk have decided that the risk is unmanageable and can't be bet on
