I finished GOD'S JUNK DRAWER by @peterclines.bsky.social
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A group of smart people whisked away to a fantastical world. It's got robots, aliens, AND DINOSAURS! The sense of wonder oozes out the pages, like those Spielberg movies that made my jaw drop when I was young. Comes out 11/11. Go get it.

OK, then how about we reform maternity leave and health care so nursing mothers CAN nurse their babies. Oh, and also, adopted and NICU babies need formula. Not all mothers can successfully nurse. This guy is an ignorant buffoon. He's unqualified and needs to be removed before can he cause MORE harm.

In China, dragons are traditionally thought to be associated with water and weather. I made this journal with that aspect in mind.

This is NOT okay. As a former Holy Cross student, I denounce this and will let Vincent Rougeau know what I think about it. Holy Cross is clearly not a safe space.
My fellow Worcesterites, Holy Cross University has allowed an ICE agent, Ryan Vasquez, to attend their upcoming career day in a recruiting capacity. Tell their president what you think of this.
