Another senseless act. Another school shooting. At this point, is there anyone in America who doesn't personally know someone directly impacted by gun violence? Antioch ALONE has experienced a church shooting, the Waffle House shooting, and this in less than a decade.

            Getting diagnosed with fibromyalgia in your early 30s is β¨interesting.β¨ On the one hand, I have a name for some of the chronic pain I experience. On the other, when I say I have fibromyalgia, some medical professionals brush that off as "Oh, that won't kill you, so just deal with it." π

            Haven't used GoodReads in a long time, myself. There are a few alternatives, but I'm not sure they have a strong following. Reddit r/books appears to be fairly active for readers sharing what they've read and discussing. Book giveaways might be permitted if approved by the subreddit mods.
