As much as I object to much of Christianity at this point in my life (which isn’t meant to yuck on anyone’s yum, I just have had bad childhood experiences) I am looking for a bracelet with a cross on it for someone for the Capitalist Winter Holiday. Would much rather buy small than corporate!

This World AIDS Day, we mourn the hundreds of thousands of Americans lost to HIV/AIDS and stand with those living with the diagnosis today.
While the Trump Administration refuses to mark this day, California will never abandon our neighbors, friends, and loved ones affected.

Here we go! Cafe Advent, aka my December holiday coffee crawl, is in full effect. I went to Republik Coffee and had their Rocher mocha, a chocolate hazelnut delight, and a cardamom bun. Lovely staff, cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended.
