Some local businesses are giving out free coffee or encouraging activities at their store without the obligation of spending. Worthwhile to go and support small businesses on blackout day (without spending)

Not even a big deal esp since it’s not life-threatening!!! But the hair loss I’m experiencing bc of this tumor is sending my self esteem down the drain (along with clumps of my hair). I spent years growing it out, but looks like I’m going to try out shorter styles for the time being 🙂↕️

It’s clear as day: I will only be buying locally, second-hand, or directly from brands of choice. Probably better for my wallet anyway if I’m only buying what I need and not overspending at you-know-where 💁🏽♀️

Or well, mostly book-shaped! These are advance reader copies, which I wasn’t expecting to get! These copies are missing some of the polish of the final book, but it is a story in full & I am overjoyed to have it in this form 🥰

I cannot overemphasize the importance of COMMUNITY ✨
Creating Community, finding joy with others, laughing & commiserating together.
I had several meetings with colleagues today and while we had no answers, we just shared space.
Now I’m going to happy hour with my closest friend b/c Community ✨

I’ve been in the DMV for 2 yrs and still feel like I just got here. Thankfully, I’m moving to an area that seems more community-centered and I’m looking forward to becoming more involved 🙌🏽

It’s been about a month since I adopted and brought home an absolute menace to society. Zora Jones loves hair ties, communicates with aliens (???) in the night, attacks any and everything, steps all over me, and watches my every waking moment. I’ve not known a moment of peace…and yet I love her 😭🖤
