My Lebanese grandpa & Irish Grandma often discussed how their worlds apart homelands have such similar sayings.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, peeps!

Interesting how if you wait a week or two, your DMs all end up being from deleted accounts, aka why I don’t reply to 99.99% of DMs

I donated to the #KidLit4Ceasefire Auction. Perhaps you will, too?
I heard that someone is organizing an auction for LA. Of course, I’ll donate to that, too, once it's announced.
Until then, we can’t forget that people have been suffering in Gaza for so long. airtable.com/appgMC1CTRup...
