Hi friends! Before I get into it, I want to share again a fundraiser I am taking part in for TGI Justice Project. Every year I make a donation to TGI Justice Project and they’re currently trying to raise $5K. I set up a site for my network to pull together $500. We are over halfway there! Thanks to the folks who have donated. We are $138 away from goal and have until the end of May. Please donate and share!

I finally started reading Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler. The story begins on Saturday, July 20, 2024 so I wanted to be sure to read it this year. I know it’s going to be a hard read so I’ve been trying to build up my fortitude.
