Your ears aren’t deceiving you—AI has allowed me to make a new model of my voice like it was before my PSP. I hope this helps show creative ways we can empower people facing the kinds of health and accessibility challenges I have and demonstrate our abilities don’t define us.

Yes indeed.

Oddly and sadly enough, I was reading just the other day about the same disease that afflicts Linda Ronstadt has now struck Democratic US Representative Jennifer Wexton of Virginia.

So saddened about #JenniferWexton and her terminal diagnosis. Rep. Wexton is someone who has stood up for her beliefs and her constituents and who represents the spirit of the citizen legislator. Congress, and this country, will be lesser without her. May her remaining days be filled with happiness for as long as possible.

Critical Report
What a tragedy, for Virginia and for the U.S. as a whole, as well as, obviously, for #JenniferWexton. Wexton is terminally ill and not able to run for reelection to #Congress. Gift access to reporting at https://wapo.st/3Lu8lcR. I fervently hope an excellent #Democrat steps up to run in #LoudonCounty. Carrying Wexton’s mission forward is imperative for America.
Rep. Jennifer Wexton will not seek reelection as diagnosis changes

Wexton (D-Va.), hoped to continue serving in Congress and fight what doctors thought was Parkinson’s disease. She will no longer seek reelection in 2024.
