Support for Teachers: A Letter to Those Ready to Educate Greatness
American teachers are being pulled in every direction—undervalued, overburdened, and politicized.

If you’re ready to resist, reflect, and rebuild—we need you in the room. The future of education depends on it.

Autism and the World That’s Coming
Autism isn’t a flaw to be fixed. It’s a different way of seeing, sensing, and surviving in a world that’s shifting fast.

That’s how it feels to unmask and grow past the version of yourself the world accepts. This post is for anyone ready to stop performing and start remembering who they really are. Because maybe you’re not too much. Maybe you’re just becoming.
