Sending hugs in these turbulent times.

And hey! New news!

It's Genius Teatime!

On May 25 Mandi, Rebecca, and Jay guide us through navigating government systems for neurodivergent and disabled kids.

Saturday 3:30-4:30 PM PST on Zoom, suggested donations $10-35, no one turned away for lack of funds. You'll benefit our speakers, Apraxia Kids, and the Opulent Mobility accessibility fund.

Check out my Substack for videos and edited transcripts of Julia Cordero-Lamb and Kate Conklin's GT talks. There are more to come! There is a paywall, but get in touch if it causes hardship.

Collaborations, fantastic folks, and action ideas:

I so appreciate the folks who hire me for their mends, alts and custom gear AND I am excited for upcoming mending collabs! Thanks to Shelley Powsner of Repair Cafe Pasadena and Amy Bauer.

Just finished a leadership cohort for artists with disabilities and I am stoked. We have so many plans for the future! Check out upcoming events from two members: DJ Kurs of Deaf West and Ifunanya Nweke of Jazz Hands for Autism.

ArtsEarth is awesome. Post your art events on their site for free!

Democracy.io and 5 Calls lets you contact your reps with ease. And I now answer all the political emails with suggestions on how to better use our tax dollars.

Let's study war no more.
