I am so heartbroken 💔 After months of biopsies & 2 surgies, Po’boy was diagnosed with a soft tissue sarcoma. As a stage 4 cancer patient myself, I do not have the means to pay for his radiation treatment. He has been my constant companion.

More than 25% of agency staff are veterans themselves.

I guess I should start posting here. I haven’t because it feels intimidating for some reason. Like everything I post needs to be something important and not just my random thoughts.

I'm in Pasadena, smelling the #EatonFire. I activated the group text for a disaster group that planned together last year, checking in, seeing if anyone needs help. One person has been evacuated and needed help. We all felt better for doing something. Helping neighbors is the most powerful response.

This photo of a man on a mountain of bison skulls has circulated for years. Biologist Victor Scheffer said it best: “Nature needs millions of years to create a species; man needs only a few dozen to destroy one.”

12 people. $2 trillion.
Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024.
Our problem isn’t an issue of resources.
