"Adrift in hollowed out artificial logs, we trailed our fingers in the chlorinated river, then stood, arms wide, daring the darkness to strike us."

Thanks especially to @robbiemaakestad.bsky.social for his keen edits, and to @roxanegay.bsky.social for pulling my work from the slush a decade ago!
I’m deeply proud to share my essay, “Knott’s Berry Farm, 1996.” Thanks so much to @therumpus.net for their continued support of my writing. This essay is 30 years in the making and a love letter to the time, to the age, to all the girls, and to that place, Knott’s 1996.

For shame, USA. We must do better! Our children deserve better.
“The agency enforces the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the law creating a free and appropriate education for children with disabilities, and funds special education services to the tune of around $15 billion.”
Terrifying. Nightmare on my Street.
Horrific.
Sing it!
Asking people if they took Tylenol when they were pregnant is not helpful. It is perpetuating a stigma against autistics.
If you are thinking about asking friends or relatives if they took Tylenol when they were pregnant, STOP. No one has to justify their TYLENOL use, and you are not helping.
Lovely!
This is so interesting to me and can be applied in so many ways. How is our moral health impacted when we ignore injustice around us, when we don’t speak out or speak up for others?
Yan Yan is my favorite!
lol. Read the flavor aloud to my 11yo and his one word reply: No.

White and blue text: "Know Your Rights when interacting with federal agents, local law enforcement, or military troops: If you get stopped, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, walk or drive away. If you’re questioned, you can say, “I want to remain silent.” In some cases, you may be required to provide your name, address, immigration status, and/or ID. If an official asks to search you or your belongings, you have the right to say no, but do not obstruct access. They may have authority to conduct the search anyway. If they begin searching you or your vehicle, say clearly: “I do not consent to a search.” You do not have to unlock your phone or give government officials your password without a warrant. For additional security, turn off biometric identification such as Face ID. If law enforcement officers arrest you, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say, or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries." Light blue ACLU logo.

White and blue text: "Know Your Rights when witnessing federal agents, local law enforcement, or military activity in public: You have the right to talk about and publicize truthful information that you obtain lawfully, including about what law enforcement officers are doing and where they are doing it. You have the right to tell people their legal rights. If you are a lawyer, make clear you are not giving legal advice. You have the right to photograph or film anything in plain view, including federal buildings and law enforcement. These officials can’t confiscate or demand to view your photographs or video without a warrant, nor can they delete data under any circumstances. However, they may order you to move a reasonable distance away. If you think a command is unlawful, it’s safest to follow the order, document the interaction, and challenge it later. You can ask for officers’ names and badge numbers, as well as who to call if there are follow-up questions." Light blue ACLU logo. Black background.
No matter what uniform they wear, federal agents and military troops on our streets are bound by the Constitution.
