Elizabeth McClellan, an autistic poet, responds to RFK Jr.'s derogatory remarks about autism in Mother Jones.

"I am not only living evidence that someone can be autistic and a poet, I will challenge RFK Jr. to write a poem as good as me any day of the week, because I don’t think he can do it."

"What has he ever really done, other than have a last name?"

Finished this yesterday and not sure what to think. In the end it was quite sad but for sure Ursula seemed to be exploring the nature of consciousness and morality. So much depth in the 180 or so pages it’s crazy.

It's happening! My book about Mastodon and the fediverse is now entering the production phase!
