1. Spent the night with my sister on Friday. We went to a lovely choral concert and the next day to a cat themed art show.
2. The former pastor of my church came back as a special speaker and offered some good insight into coping with…all this.
3. I took some old towels and a blanket to the animal shelter and learned they have a pet food bank.
4. I got a much needed haircut.
5. Two interesting Black History Month presentations. #5joysfriday

julieclair What lovely joys. Isn‘t Robert Smalls‘ story amazing? I live near Beaufort, SC, and he is a much-admired local hero for sure. 3d
Susanita @julieclair That‘s cool! The presentation was by a storyteller who dressed like him and looked fabulous. 3d

A quick read touching on Texas history that you may not know surrounding Indigenous and enslaved people. The author reminds us how important it is to know our history, and that you can both love and criticize something at the same time. This is an ongoing and important lesson to remember in these frightening times.

Suet624 Beautiful photo. Where is this? 3w

Suet624 I wonder if I‘ll ever be able to set foot in Texas. 🥴 3w
JenniferEgnor @Suet624 I‘ve got some friends there, but no desire to go. Too hot, and I just can‘t stand the thought of the way things are there. The PNW and the NE are more me. 3w
Suet624 @JenniferEgnor same here. 3w

In the wake of US election results, in the midst of other local activism planning, I‘m finding some small comfort in looking through my shelves to find books which will inspire me to keep going, keep fighting. These are books I‘m going to move up my TBR for the near future. I‘m sure I‘ll add to the stack as I look through my library more. Are there any books y‘all are thinking about these days?

TheBookHippie A bit of what we did in the 1980s is helpful 4mo
