#Repost @glennondoyle with @make_repost Thank you for fighting for us so brilliantly, relentlessly, creatively, and fiercely - and for so long. Rest, Warrior.... Tonight, we mourn. Tomorrow, we fight.

Reading a great book is not enough. Talking about the book is not enough. Developing empathy is not enough, unless it drives you to action. VOTE and try to have an impact on others, then the book you read will have made a difference. #voteforchange #vote2020 #makeadifference #silenceiscomplicity

I AM A SURVIVOR! This is National Suicide Prevention Week and if my lack of shame or fear of stigma saves just one life then it is worth it. If you or anyone you know is considering suicide, please call the Suicide Prevention Hotline at (800) 273-8255. It is available 24/7 and is confidential.
