Some days the world looks like this to me. I fight the current but I’m guilty too. Some days I just want to save all the children running through rye fields before they fall of the cliff they don’t see fastly approaching.

This city is full of resilient people. They never forget. But they also never give up. And they still forge ahead.

I’m wiped. I’m so wiped I can’t keep food down and I’m trying not to cry. Because I had to run an errand today. Just one. Even when I get it right I pay a price. I wrote about this on the blog (link in bio), titled “My poor brain.”

Sometimes I forget about the autism because I’ve managed to carve out a life for myself that limits exposure to stress and triggers. And some days, like today, I am so overwhelmed that it’s all I can do to come home without losing my composure in public. The Salt Lake City police shot Linden Cameron last Friday. He’s 13 and he was having a meltdown. They shot him in the back as he ran away.

I have to document this stuff because I do have the privilege of being able to speak when so many of us don’t. Our lives are on the line in ways most people never even contemplate. I just want to help. Even if it looks stupid or insignificant. Maybe someone will understand. Maybe someone will learn something they didn’t know and have compassion. We walk among you.

Ok, why post this video of me singing in the sprin

Ok, why post this video of me singing in the spring musical in 1996? It’s bad acting and singing on my part. Not incredibly flattering. But, and this is a strong but, it’s important. @coopstah (Michael) wrote it...at 16. Celia Concannon, my drama teacher and extremely close friend/mentor/surrogate mother, helped conceive it and bring it to life. And I spent my days and nights in that theater, hiding from teachers, gossiping, drinking Jamocha shakes from Arby’s, listening to the Beatles and exploring the world in a safe environment. Drama kids grow up. And when they do, they have a loooooot of self-esteem. Thanks to all the drama teachers who create safe spaces for misfits and weirdos to thrive in.

It’s Sunday and time to be thankful. I’m thankful for baby Vene...and also my bone structure, which was and is 🔥.

I kind of need this today. 14-year old me with 9-year old Andrea and 7-year old Margot.

I started collecting hearts in Oaxaca. My sister sent me a Mexican heart with milagros:

Milagros (also known as an ex-voto or dijes or promesas) are religious folk charms that are traditionally used for healing purposes and as votive offerings in Mexico, the southern United States, other areas of Latin America, and parts of the Iberian peninsula. They are frequently attached to altars, shrines, and sacred objects found in places of worship, and they are often purchased in churches and cathedrals, or from street vendors.

Milagros come in a variety of shapes and dimensions and are fabricated from many different materials, depending on local customs. For example, they might be nearly flat or fully three-dimensional; and they can be constructed from gold, silver, tin, lead, wood, bone, or wax. In Spanish, the word milagro literally means miracle or surprise.
