Okay! Finished @authorandie.bsky.social ‘s The Mermaids Wrath and - WOW! What a wonderful, engaging novel! Andie, your characters have depth, your action scenes are engaging, the love scenes… 🫣. And through it all runs the messaging of how much damage we’re causing the oceans & hope for the future!

This year I signed up for the Pride & Remembrance Run 🌈🌈. I can’t attend in person, but big thanks to my friends who were able to make it out to our 5k replacement!
All the more important as the people full of hate continue to be given loudspeakers and platforms to spew their vitriol.

Emotional music makes it easier to remember, but whether we remember details depends on how strong that emotion is. 🧪 #scicomm www.forbes.com/sites/evaams...
Memory Is Shaped By The Music We Listen To
Music therapy can be used in memory recall, but which music works best? A new study found that our emotional response to music affects what we remember.

It's easy to think it's a problem of the past & the gays should just get over it. But did you know that here in Canada last year, 77% of 2SLGBTQ+ youth were physically or verbally bullied, and that 27% thought it might be better to take their life because they think no one in the world loves them?
