You know what's weird? To choose to hang out in ICUs instead of hanging out with your adorable toddlers. Just saying.

Here is a list of the articles I have saved from Facebook:

Sausage Egg Roll in a Bowl--recipe shared by Amanda

Thread asking for the following recommendations : What are books you know and love that feature a badass woman, trans or gender-nonconforming lead - especially of color, including folks of multiple abilities? This could be fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels, poetry...multiple languages encouraged! Multiple reading levels encouraged! I am building out the adult library for the folks I work with, who have all experienced gender-based trauma (sexual and intimate partner assault, trafficking, economic abuse), so please keep this in mind 


Looking at this list I feel:
-inspired
-supported
-overwhelmed
-grateful
-surprised by the content

Last month's saves are more political. This month's are more marriage/child focused. That feels in line with where my head and heart are.
