Can't wait! Without a doubt, this is an extraordinary collection. Based in the 3D world of physical elements, each story lifts us off the page into an ethereal realm that is profoundly rich with meaning. @jenwithwords.bsky.social @https://bsky.app/profile/jenwithwords.bsky.social/post/3me4pqxg64k2u

I'd love to listen to Karen's social (in)justice poems ... I've just googled 3pm PST ... and learned, that is 12am (midnight) French time ... alas, the poetry part of my brain (any part of my brain, for that matter) won't function adequately during these 'witching hours' ... another time, I hope 🤞

Absolutely. Saw an article earlier, Renee’s wife is now encouraging people to start donating to others fundraisers such as for Keith Porter who was murdered by ICE on NYE. Please share. 💔 www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Neat! I may get back to doing open mic, in my kitchen, with the lights off (and mic on). :)

What is it? For those of us not on Facebook.

Really looking forward to #NotJustPretty hosted by @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social. The last one was absolutely inspiring, and this time I have an open mic slot alongside some exceptional talent.

What a way to start the day! #dance www.facebook.com/reel/1529344...

Get ready for the latest, greatest, & final zoom in the #NOTJUSTPRETTY series. 5 women share struggles/strengths of being creative in a world holding tightly onto classic stereotypes. Details: karenpiercegonzalez.substack.com/p/we-are-so-... #wakeup #womentalk #WeAreSoMuchMore

Thank you, Karen. 💜
