So cool to be a (teensy eensy weensy) part of the making of this @imanicoppola video. It’s available today wherever you get your music.

Thanks to the team at @intel for giving me the opportunity to share my personal story of #autism during #disabilityawarenessmonth2020!

Thank you to @dana.vandecoevering for bringing me to the table and giving me a platform to share my experience. I’m honored and grateful!

Just practicing editing stuff. Video and audio sped up (2x) and sound modulated so Regina doesn’t sound like a chipmunk.

Nothing scares me more than people witnessing my existence, except giving into the fear.

There’s a long-standing problem in the Latinx community that mental health is a shameful topic. You cannot power through depression and no one should pressure you to stay silent or face it on your own. @chingonabox you need to check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Translation of original text: “Sometimes I get depressed and then I remember I’m a badass and it goes away.”

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.

I went to see Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure tonight at an open air restaurant...in full Gucci inspired goth. I really miss dressing up.

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.
