This is my son, Elijah. Instead of mailing him a care package while he serves, would you consider helping improve his ability to get around town? Any donation goes directly to him. #VanForUkrainianArmyVolunteer #PeaceForUkraine

Fantastic news!
So you could say I had some good news today…….
The LA Supreme Court has ruled in Amanda Jones' favor! Her defamation case can now be heard by the 1st Circuit Court - a major victory in her fight to hold the men who defamed her to account, and a great victory for #freadom in #Louisiana. #librarians #protectourlibrarians #saveourlibraries #winning

Going to the movies by yourself is one of life’s hidden pleasures. Just you and a large popcorn and some sour patch kids and all of your big goblin energy alone in the dark where nobody can see your shame. Priceless.

I'm too excited to take a daylight pic... I just received an ARC of Dr. Marie Pierre St. Ogne's new book, Eat Better, Sleep Better. I'm making the Chamomile Ginger Cordial recipe first. Should I have posted without the pic?
