Durham turned out for the #NoKings protest! I couldn’t get a shot that showed the crowd but we were thousands strong. Peaceful and positive. No cops except the ones blocking traffic for us. Love my city!

I think my Goodreads Year in Books is a much better reflection of me than my Spotify Wrapped. I'm actually at 46 books for the year and hope to get to 50 by the end of the year!

Got my cat a bird feeder, which she and I are both enjoying very much.
