I collect pins. I overthink things w/o apology.

Self-care is a good quote (or a long hard steupse).
Sinners yesterday and Met Galla red carpet tonight. I'm going down the rabbit hole of all things Sinners cast (Delroy!) and Ryan Coogler, and (dark raw) blues related. Gawd. youtu.be/jONprH45myw?...

Ah condo construction season. The steady thump of space shaking machinery that has me fearful that any moment a TRex is going to peek inside my apartment window.

There used to be a time when I had to play "You Won't Break My Soul" and "Hit 'Em Up' as I got ready for the work day. Nowadays I'm playing "Wait for the Moment" by Vulfpeck...*exhale*. Had a chance to see Antwaun Stanley perform it live in March and it beautiful.

Took a step back from the 9-5 but still occasionally peek at job boards. It’s wild how private schools charge top-tier tuition, expect grads to become execs & doctors… but offer frontline staff barely livable wages. This can't be life. #9to5Life #JobSearch #WorkCulture #PayPeopleWell #ThisCantBeLife

How (and where) do you wear your pins? I keep a couple on my bag, but most of mine stay posted up on bulletin boards around my workspace. Curious what that looks like for you.

Oh it's "indie bookstore day"? That was my life for ac couple of decades at Burkes Bookstore on St. Clair W, in Toronto. What's the term for business owner's kids/bookstore owner's kids?/storeowner's kids?

I’m more than my job title. I want to talk about what lights me up, not just what pays the bills. So hiiii - I’m going to start to talk more about the creative work that's not 9-5 related. If that’s your vibe, too, let’s connect over here.
