Job leads welcome! Writing, editorial, layout, design, NYC area. Or, in desperation, I will teach composition at the college level again.

Well, as an employee of a non-profit that studies ways to lift people out of poverty, mostly for the government, I've just been laid off. Because our government does not give a flying fuck about poor people, or incarcerated people, or diversity, equity and inclusion.
Or anybody but themselves.

Happy holidays! I painted this last year, too late to make printed cards. Thought I'd surely get it printed this year, but in the chaos of caregiving--nothing doing. So I'm posting it right here, right now. Wishing all my friends, family and even total strangers all the best. Heaven help us all. ♥️
