I’m not sure. Metaphorically, there’s nothing in my drawers (🙃😬😂) Hard for me to understand what it would be like to experience having an internal sense of gender, let alone construct a metaphor to fit it.
IRL, I have, um…. More chaos drawers than I want to count…

#kidlitart the class is called Writing From (and For) the Heart. It’s less a craft-based class and more a creative reset, reconnecting with your inspiration, sparking new ideas type class.

…Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

JB Pritzker:
“As Dr. King once said, the arc of the moral Universe is long, but it bends toward justice. Humbly, I would add, it doesn't bend on its own. History tells us we often have to apply force needed to make sure that the arc gets where it needs to go. This is one of those times.”
