My BFF of 16 years was diagnosed with ALS. It's known as the bankruptcy disease because of the massive costs involved for care. Would you please consider donating and/or sharing? (Don't get me started on how awful it is to have to crowdfund for healthcare in this country.) gofund.me/ff63aac1

Imagining Spotify (with its AI DJ) as a loving entity gave me a laugh, so thanks for that, friend! 😜
Does Spotify lovingly protect parents from baby songs making their way into Wrapped? The Happy Song! Train songs! Clap your hands! All on repeat all year long! And not a mention! Forever grateful.

This is my kind of rage project.
When men rage, they blow and shoot things up and start wars.
When women rage, we create.
We knit, do embroidery and cross stitch. We create new things ... while we figure out how to fix the broken things.
Behold rage project #1

I've felt myself wanting to do less social media these days and prefer to connect via text or call, but wanted to grab my handle here anyway. Let's see what happens.
