Starting my 40th birthday at a board meeting for one of my favorite nonprofits in the city! And they brought me coffee and a donut!

This week I finished THE TESTAMENTS by Margaret Atwood.

5 stars on The Storygraph because it shows that even within oppressive systems, transformation, and resilience can spark hope.

What a time!

Thank your local Black person

Book 13 on the year. 108% of my goal. Over 4,100 pages!🥇

I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars out of 5. I felt like some parts of it fell flat, I kept thinking how much of a brat the daughter was, and the ending was kind of meh. But the big themes of the book, I loved.

I hate when people litter but let’s be sure to remember that geography, demographics, and infrastructure matter, most of y’all are really just anti Black.

www.nytimes.com/2025/08/10/u...

Show this to the next person who tells you that Wisconsin is a “climate haven.”

We’ve seen increased precipitation rates for decades, and this flooding is just a sign of what’s to come.

Now’s the time to prepare for the wetter, warmer, & more unpredictable weather.

feeling gratitude today for the friends who texted to check in, a relatively dry basement, electricity, my man for making breakfast, neighbors who saw me clearing storm drains & joined the effort, and a day off from washing dishes cause MMSD said aht, aht! water drop alert!

i went to walk my dog & clear my storm drain of litter & debris. then i cleared my neighbors, and the church drain across the street. i hear my neighbor say, “goodmorning!” she was outside with a grocery bag & gloves picking up litter in the yard.

all it takes is 1 person. be the 1.
