Thank you to the many hundreds of people who are circulating my statement about who is, and is not, my family into the public record: http://leslie-feinberg.tumblr.com/
Only two people—a Christian minister and someone close to him—are waging a public offensive to my statement. They called into…
“May the leg be with you!”

If you ever want to talk: My tumblr ask is always open.
If you live in Vancouver, or visit, this shop is worth a visit. My children have all surpassed my expectations of their abilities — even my four year old boy stitched something together last spring!
Her classes are inspirational, even a three year old with a small attention span is kept busy for most of the hour class designed especially for the youngest students.
And the art supplies and books are a collection that is second to none. 80% of our birthday presents through out the year are purchased at CollageCollage.
Welcome to Tumblr, Erin and Sarah! We can’t wait to see how you inspire us here …
MAKE classes are kept small so there’s lots of time for one on one with the instructor.
we love Bruno Munari.
you thought I didn’t really notice. But I did. I wanted to high-five you. Yesterday I had a pair of brothers in my store. One was maybe between 15-17. He was a wrestler at the local high school. Kind of tall, stocky and handsome. He had a younger brother, who was maybe about 10-12 years old. The…

I tell you what. Nobody has ever ripped my heart out and trompled upon it merely by writing a novel like Leslie Feinberg did. If you haven’t read it yet, Stone Butch Blues is a tale that will tear you to shreds. And educate you.

Tics, Grunts, And Life With Tourette’s
I have Tourette’s Syndrome. TS is a neurological disorder that becomes evident in early childhood or adolescence that is defined by multiple motor and vocal tics. The first symptoms are usually involuntary movements (tics) of the face, arms, and limbs. These tics are frequent, repetitive and rapid. The most common first symptom is a facial tic (eye blink, nose twitch, grimace), and is replaced or added to by other tics of the neck and limbs.
Some involuntary tics may be complicated – involving the entire body – such as kicking and stamping. When I have an involuntary complicated tic, it feels as if I have the urge to perform a motor activity. Other Tourette’s symptoms such as touching, repetitive thoughts and movements, and compulsions happen too.
Tourette’s also comes with verbal tics. These vocalizations include grunting, throat clearing, shouting and barking. The verbal tics may also be expressed with the involuntary use of obscene words or obscene gestures. Despite what you hear, this is uncommon.
