I used to be an author until I got sick.
Now I’m learning how to paint and sing.
Love art, puppies and acts of kindness.
Looking for the goodness that resides in most of us.
No crypto, no porn, no DMs

I won’t post often. I mainly repost animal, science, archaeology and anthropology posts.
The world is a dark place right now.
Bringing a little light into it might help someone 💜
