The past few months have been batshit crazy though and as someone who tries to lead with love, I’m finding it real hard to love these days, especially those I disagree with. Someone said, if they can hate arbitrarily then I can love arbitrarily but I don’t think I can anymore

I’ve been mostly off social media for a little over a year. I’ve used Bluesky from time to time to shout into the void, but it’s mostly because my mom doesn’t know about it. I have felt it’s impacted (in a good way) my mental health but I do miss sometimes being snarky in public

Teen Winter Service Project - we created care kits! Tree House Teens teamed up to package bags w/ gloves, socks, a snack or two, & hygiene products to distribute throughout the winter in our Giving Library and Traveling Tree House bookmobile.

Just a small selection of the awesome brand new books we've received as part of our Holiday Book drive so far. You can still support our drive AND local Black owned bookstores this holiday season by purchasing books off our wishlists. Help us spread the joy of a new book to our community!

🚐 Have you ever found yourself driving in Philly behind our Bookmobile, the Traveling Tree House? Wonder how we get all the books to fill the van?
From you!
Check out our Holiday Book Drive & help us get books into homes this season!

I actually really enjoyed last night’s @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social game. It was fast paced & had lots of intrigue that you normally don’t get from a lot of 3 & outs. Also fun watching the defense play like that. Saquon was one lucky arm tackle & one missed trip penalty from having 2 huge runs.

Heard the NFL was going to randomly drug test Nick Sirianni after tonight’s Eagles game

Didn’t think I’d hear @pablo.show on @thisamericanlife.org before @minakimes.bsky.social - I think this means I lose @npr.org BINGO.

Pablo’s story was awesome/crazy/incredible tho
