Blessed be Minneapolis.

Absolute Wonder Woman is a fantastic take on the character. Glad I finally took the time to read this series.

Love to the dreamers but support to the makers.

Getting sent a Dry January challenge as someone who doesn’t drink is wild. Talk about losing at character select.

May the new year find you blessed personally and professionally.

I feel joy for those that got a room on-site. I feel sadness for those that couldn't. Frustrating balance.
