We join our community in mourning the Rev. Jesse Jackson and reflecting on his work for a more just future.

His empowering appearance on Sesame Street, where he encouraged children of all backgrounds and languages to declare "I Am Somebody," still resonates today.

This is within my very specific niche, but friends in America, take the time to write up a caretaking guide for your pets. Make sure more than one person has access to your house key (I have a spare with a couple neighbors) and let folk know who to contact in case anything happens to you.💕🐾
