Picked up a hanging basket from Gardenworks that was crammed full of black petunias, dusty miller and more. Used it to fill our patio flower boxes and I’m completely in love with them now. #GardenSky

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”
We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

Spent the afternoon making ritual bath salt mixtures for a variety of purposes. It was nice to discover I had all the herbs and oils I needed on hand. The house is certainly aromatic now, though! #WitchSky

Today’s research involved old friends. I found out what colour my hometown theatre’s seats were in the ‘90s, (red), what hair gel I used (Dep), & what makeup (Bonnie Bell). I have my old street address, the neighbours’ names, the bathroom wallpaper pattern. I’ve got it all covered. #WritingCommunity
