Exercising our 1st amendment right in the bitter cold to peacefully protest (with “a few” others) in Minneapolis. Proud to be a Minnesotan today.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

If I’m going on a five mile walk with a pocket full of dark choc Cadbury mini eggs, does it defeat the purpose? 😂

The events of the past 9 days add a whole 'nother layer of meaning to "doom scrolling."

How We Learn to Be Brave Audiobook on Libro.fm An inspirational guide to the key junctures in life that, if navigated with faith and discernment, pave the way for us to become our most courageous selves, by the bishop of the famed Episcopal Dioces...

The hard copy book is tough to get, but YES the audio version of Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde's "How We Learn to be Brave" IS AVAILABLE!! And it's read by Bishop Budde herself. (Bonus, getting the audiobook from @librofm.bsky.social benefits independent bookstores vs millionaires): bit.ly/42sdhIC

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Hallelujah!! So glad to see you here.

Going to try (again) to start a presence here and LEAVE the other platform. Cheers!

Ok: three days in to #NaNoWriMo and still on track. And embracing Lamott’s idea of a “shitty first draft.” Happy writing all!
