The U.S. Senate may soon consider legislation (H.R. 28 and S.9) to exclude trans athletes, including K-12 students, from fully participating in sports. Athletics provide critical benefits especially for LGBTQ+ students who face higher risks of bullying.

"Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a better person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in."

β€œLife’s most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617:
Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel.
Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

SΓ€g Hej encourages simple, friendly exchanges to nurture stronger community bonds. In a time when isolation feels more common, these β€œthin connections,” or tunna band, play a critical role in improving mental health and creating a sense of belonging.

As we look ahead to 2025, we can’t help but smile and reflect on all the business celebrations of 2024.

From brand new businesses, anniversaries, and expansions, each ribbon we cut symbolized more than just a grand opening or milestone, it was a testament to the hard work, passion, and dedication!
