Tip: if someone tells you they're autistic, your first replies shouldn't be "I never would have guessed, you seem so good at social contact!" or "So what's your hypothesis as to why there are so many more autistic people now, please explain!" Instead, think about "Thanks for trusting me!" or "Ok!"

I am so sorry to say that Walker Storz, a person with severe ME, has passed away. Walker was an essayist, a poet, a musician, and someone I chatted with many times via email. A beautiful essay he wrote in 2022: www.todaysamericancatholic.org/2022/05/mere... May his memory be a blessing.

If you’re overwhelmed by everything going on, finding a way to help will genuinely make you feel better. You’ll feel less powerless. You’ll build community with other people who care about the things you care about. You’ll realize there are a lot of reasons to be hopeful things can change.

I think the thing a lot of people are like just refusing to grasp is the point was always that the US cutting off aid would cause mass death. That under developing these countries, creating a network of soft power and dependence was always the liberal agenda. That it was set up this way.
