"Birth and death were easy. It was life that was hard."

"Jitterbug Perfume" was a watershed book for me and remains a favorite. RIP to one who made life a little less hard!

If anyone has leads on a job in the non-profit (progressive, non-religion affiliated) sector that you think I may be a fit for, please hit me up! Hoping for M-F day hours and over $20/hour but could be flexible for the right fit. Cheers!

You know what I really hate about people who buy from breeders? (Aside from all the reasons?)
They make me have to fight myself.
Under my breath: You disgust me.
Out loud: Can I pet the puppy?!

On this day, I probably shouldn't have listened to Hamilton on the drive home. It's hard to drive through tears.

But I'm choosing to remember a beautiful time not that long ago when we had a President who would support and help create art and beauty.
