That’s where we come in.

The photos of women on the National Cryptologic Museum’s Hall of Honor have been covered up with brown paper. This is part of the president’s executive order against DEI. Just in case you needed a reminder that ALL WOMEN are also under attack under this Republican administration.

Happy New Year!
“The horizon leans forward,
Offering you space to place new steps of change.”
― Maya Angelou

Everyone is asking about "What are the best things of the year?" or "Who is the best person of 2024?"

The winner is you.
If you did anything this year worthy of merit
If you made something that someone enjoyed
If you did something that taught someone something valuable
You won 2024.

Merry Christmas and Peace to All!
