Thank you Laura, Claudia and @fictivedream.bsky.social for an amazing FFF25

If Sarah McBride was a Republican rather than a Democrat would Nancy Mace be banging on about toilets quite so much? Rhetorical.

Me too

Feeling empty after a loss is a natural response, reflecting deep emotional bonds. Unexpected surges of emotion may overwhelm us, but instead of suppressing these feelings, it's vital to understand them. Personally, I find great joy in movement. So, if you're able, move your body and move for joy.
