Happiest of birthdays to you, dear Kimm! So glad you’re in the world. 🩵 🦋

Happy Easter to you as well, Kimm! 💐

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Happy New Year to you and yours, dear Kimm! 💕

As the new year approaches, I’ve been looking back at old pictures. 10 years ago, at age 33, I had a buzzcut and a baby face!
