Excellent writing as always but can we also make some noise for the photography?

Hasan cares deeply, like most autistic people.

Lovely writing, Lolo. I really enjoyed the streams with you. Y’all are silly together.

Bravo, beautifully done. Great job, both of you, but Lolo the way you ended it was so raw and illuminating, it brought tears to my eyes. Gripped my heart in its informidable hold with that we should take the challenges we face collectively in stride, for there is work to be done and any changes we make have a ripple effect that can and will change things for the better.

I don't know why I was expecting something more personal/emotional or feelings focused but this was lovely to read regardless! ❤️ Plenty of similar articles out there about Hasan and his work but I like that this stands out since it's through the eyes of a friend. Btw Hasan is the reason I discovered you (and many other wonderful people), and my favorite part of this piece was the part about "waiting" (which reminded me of the stream intro song lol). Well, time to stop waiting and find some courage I guess.

The brand is Bucket Squad, but I don’t think those exact shorts are still available unfortunately.

Great piece! I think you have to be sooo incredibly steadfast and morally/ideologically clear to wake up and argue for a better world on a daily basis, for hours on end. Thanks for digging into the “dumbass” branding cuz I’m not buying it either lol. Endlessly impressed by Hasan and thankful for his voice
