We're calling on businesses across Iowa to commit to being a safe and affirming space for LGBTQ+ Iowans by signing our pledge. The community is watching—this is the moment to choose where you stand. Your support will be remembered. So will your silence.

Reading books written by people who don’t look like us builds empathy; empathy builds compassion; compassion makes us better humans and hopefully better allies. These are two of the books I plan to read during Black History Month. It is critical to hear and learn from voices that aren’t our own.

This sticker, that I can’t bear to stick to something because then it would be stuck, hangs out in my writing box and I see it every time I open the box. Thank you, @meerkatmira.bsky.social. It was in one of your earliest letters. 💜 The message feels important all the time. 🥹
