I would be the cat though.

I AM on the second day and I would buy all the chocolate, steaks, kettle chips, and tent dresses the world could offer me at 40% off.

I would have killed it in ankle pageantry. I’ve gained a lot of weight thanks to my medications (but it’s better than unmitigated crazy, so...) but no matter what the rest of my body looks like, I have some dainty ankles.

I’m just repeatedly shuddering over here. UGH. Erase it from my brain.

I wonder where all that money is going, because ABA services are questionably effective but the only services besides speech and OT that are covered by insurance, and I know three families (soon to be four when I join them) that have to sue the school district to provide the basic support services for our autistic…

Yoko Ono... that was some peak Ono and I hope you all imagined your dolphin in Lisa Frank style. May all your dolphins be as colorful and joyful as your third grade binder.
