He’s always been a dreamer a young artist whose mind dances between bright worlds of creativity and the steady ground of daily life. But one thing we’ve learned on this journey is how vital it is to help him separate those beautiful fantasies from reality. For autistic individuals, the line between fantasy and...

Two weeks ago, I spoke at a crypto event for the first time in ages. I was nervous af, but apparently this did not impact the delivery as many people walked up to me sharing positive feedback. As a writer, I figured, while the recording isn't out in the open yet, I might as well try to write down the gist of it Initially, when I was nudged to submit a talk, the title I gave it was "Marx for Crypto Bros." I'd been called a Marxist by crypto people before, because I dared to question the indivi...

Bianca's maternal lineage is Portuguese — specifically the Azores. Sinfully though, she had never been. But that is changing right now.
