- I’ve posted my latest story to Medium. It’s free to view. Give it a read, and if you find any value in it, hit the clap button. It a small thing that really makes my day.
- Wild to see my name in @theguardian.com this morning. I started a petition to stop the creation of an autism registry. 50,000 people joined me. We changed the conversation. #autism
- It’s live: Believing in Matt Foley and Other Questionable Career Moves A story about finding motion when standing still felt safer. If it hits, I’d love a repost or a comment. Let’s keep talking about what survival actually looks like. #autism Read it here:

- “I don’t want admiration for masking. I want a world where I don’t have to." Masks are heavy. I finally wrote about the decades spent learning scripts, the burnout, and the dream of authentic acceptance as an autistic person. Maybe you'll see yourself in it. #autism medium.com/@RyanReadsan...
- Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deported illegally. The Supreme Court ordered his return. Both governments refused. No updates. No photos. No proof of life. Is he dead? Or are they hiding the conditions he was sent to? We need answers. We need coverage. We need accountability.
- I’ve been in the longest reading slump of my life. It’s like my brain decided to just nope out of everything for the past two months.
- In a reading slump? Only Batman can save you now. #BookSky📚💙
- Thrifted a U.S. history book from 1928. The very last paragraph lists America’s biggest challenges. Nearly 100 years later, we’re still waiting for ‘future citizens’ to solve the exact same problems. What are we even doing?
- Every time I visit my local library, I’m reminded that freedom is hard to gain and easy to lose. When public access to information is restricted, it’s time to make your voice heard. 📚💙
- So… when do we all get free credit monitoring? 💀
- I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

- That’s amazing! I may just do that!
- I still can’t believe how this blew up! My son still asks to check Kevin’s stats every day. I’m shocked that this is still making the rounds. It has restored my faith in humanity when I wasn’t sure I had much left. You are all the very best of people! Thank you!
- Hit the thrift stores, filled my shelves, and only spent $19. Turns out, secondhand book shopping is the ultimate budget-friendly thrill. Read about my adventure here👇 #BookSky📚💙

- I don’t know, man. With our collective genius, we could have cured cancer. Hose water took that from us.

- I’ve never read a more apt description.
- From a friend’s post. Long but worth the read. Wise and important words from sociologist Jennifer Walter about what is happening in our country right now and what to do about it. "As a sociologist, I need to tell you: Your overwhelm is the goal.
- Sound like it’s time to implement some cross-functional collaboration.
- This past week has been such a long year!

- It’s sad. My parents are 75 and 72, and are still working part time just to barely get by. It shouldn’t be this way.

- This is “Shock Doctrine”. It will devastate institutions like education, healthcare, and research, leaving them underfunded and vulnerable. Wealthy corporations will step in to dictate societal priorities. public systems will collapse while privatization and corporate control take over.
- They’ll call it ‘fiscal responsibility’
- I’ve created a little anti-fascist group for bookworms and nerds like myself. The EWOKS: Educated Warriors Organizing for Kindness and Safety We’ll read banned books and work to make things better in our communities The link to join my Discord server is in my Bio.

- I’m so new to Discord, I actually had to use ChatGPT to walk me through setting it up. I’m starting to get the gist of it, but I’m thinking a book club on Fable will be easier for all of us 😅 Sometimes I can’t keep up with my own ambitions!
- My dream is to write a book that gets banned due to all the empathy and critical thinking it inspires.
- Posting this as a backup to Discord. I think a book club on Fable might be an easier option for many. I haven’t made the club public yet, but you can still join at the link👇. I’ll put some books up to vote on tomorrow (1/28). Aiming for 2/1 to start.
