The people who support book bans also harass the librarians who support literacy. Nearly 7,000 books were banned from school libraries during the 2024-2025 school year!

Stop book bans

We must not let them decide what we can read. Because if they decide our books, they decide our words, our thoughts, our lives. - from Literati Bookstore

Look for the people who smile at you, and comfort those who need your calm support. Wag at others without judgement. Back away from anyone with a big stick.

And I’m sorry for the tragic loss of your mother. How sweet that she sewed for you, though, and that sewing now gives you peace.

Nice! I'm glad you had someone to pass your Singer machine along to!

My sewing story began with my grandmother & continues with my granddaughter. Even as JoAnn Fabrics closes its doors, the tradition of sewing lives on in families, communities, and a new generation of makers.

“Being a poet is like standing in the closet dancing, and I’m dancing faster and faster, and every once in awhile someone opens the door and says, ‘oh that’s nice,’ and closes the door again. But I just keep dancing.” - fellow poet & friend, Margo LaGattuta (1942-2011)
