The U.S. Senate may soon consider legislation (H.R. 28 and S.9) to exclude trans athletes, including K-12 students, from fully participating in sports. Athletics provide critical benefits especially for LGBTQ+ students who face higher risks of bullying.

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617:
Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel.
Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

Plenty of blue skies for everyone. Glad to have you here with us @edgewaterchamber.bsky.social
Thought we'd be the first chamber on Bluesky but of course @avillechamber.bsky.social is already here.

Awkward.

Säg Hej encourages simple, friendly exchanges to nurture stronger community bonds. In a time when isolation feels more common, these “thin connections,” or tunna band, play a critical role in improving mental health and creating a sense of belonging.

As we look ahead to 2025, we can’t help but smile and reflect on all the business celebrations of 2024.

From brand new businesses, anniversaries, and expansions, each ribbon we cut symbolized more than just a grand opening or milestone, it was a testament to the hard work, passion, and dedication!
