News
Epilepsy coverage worth your time, and here's our take.
We link to the reporting other outlets are doing - the good, the overdue, and occasionally the terrible - and we write our own when something needs saying.

Our Take
This is where we argue. Everything here is our position, not our reporting — held to the same standard for facts, but making a case rather than laying out what happened. We write about the news when it deserves a response, about rights when they're being ignored, about living well when the advice on offer is useless, about resources when they're harder to find than they should be, and about where the money goes when the answer isn't good enough.
