Writer editor singer songer. I'm just another part of you.
Our minds are hanging out together, laughing at us behind our backs, only *pretending* they are lost. I, too, looked at the photo linked to your post and thought, "Wow, that Leonard Nimoy's a dope-ass singer!"

I can’t force white people to offer black people kindness. Even if it’s as small as seeing their pain and acknowledging it whether you can alleviate it or not. It is a form of empathic violence many of us are conditioned to perpetuate in order to allow the systems we live in to function.

I have six photos of my mother in the room where I write. It's not the same as having her there.

The deaths of those we love thin our interactive souls.

Lauren, I also am in this club. Also with a feline kidney disease sufferer in my care. Here is my sympathy; feel it?

There's a way to make Bluesky remind you! I pinned instructions to the top of my profile. Very handy!
