I cannot be blamed when my furry #children have demanded my #attention so thoroughly. I must obey #cat law #catdad #love

It's still September, so it's still $u¡c¡d€ prevention month. Thank you for staying ❤️ I'm proud of you #love #worthy #help #community #life

Keep walking your path, especially when others try and pull you down. They are #miserable and you are #worthy of achieving your #goal and your #dream however works for you #love

#Reading is a vital #skill that keeps giving back. With reading, you #learn and #grow and can #help your #community become a #better place

#Haters are gonna hate, because misery loves company. That's entirely their prerogative. I'll just be over here doing what I've been doing the entire time #love #lgbt #life #brave

Then again, the cognitive #power needed to hold two seemingly conflicting #ideas seems beyond the capacity of many. I'm not calling out anyone specifically, mind you. But if you felt personally attacked, you may wanna look in the mirror ❤️ #dignity #respect #life

Day 40 of writing my #novel using #free #community resources every day until I reach my audience. I was privileged enough to write with @opensorceryy.co this weekend! #fantasy #writer

Whatever helps you feel better, I suppose. I'll be busy just existing while the thought of me doing so without shame lives rent #free in your head ❤️ #lgbt #life #love #peace

We all deserve #basic #respect and #dignity especially from those who claim to represent and #protect us in the offices we put then in #community

Please share this with family, friends, strangers, even enemies. #September is #suicideprevention month, and no one deserves to be in so much #pain that they feel the only way out is taking their own #life #love

Sometimes, all you #need is some #love and #sunshine to #learn and #grow

If you needed a #sign or #permission to not give up on yourself, here it is: you're worth every bead of sweat, every tear shed, and every drop of b|00d lost #worthy #goodenough #love

#Thank an #educator or a #caretaker because no student should go without #support and no support #system should be left to go it alone

Day 38 of writing my novel using #free #community resources every day until I reach my audience. I'm privileged to have parents who were voracious #readers who owned #books and read to me every night growing up. It's heartbreaking seeing high school seniors graduate functionally illiterate #writer

#Human decency and #respect are so much easier than being intentionally mean and miserable toward others. And though I may defend myself, I will never throw the first punch, and will happily engage in constructive #conversation with others #community #lgbt

Day 37 of writing my #novel using #free #community resources every day until I reach my audience #fantasy #writer

A beloved friend and fellow poet drew a pen sketch of me when I facilitated the poetry workshop I frequent every week! He is honestly a talented artist, and I'm humbled and honored to call him friend. Thank you, Tim!

Day 36 of writing my #novel using #free #community resources every day until I reach my audience. #fantasy #writer

#Welcome back to #school everyone! Time to learn how to roll with a whole #new crew of #students in yo-yo weather! Someone pray for my #sanity LOL

I literally collapsed upon entering my #home after #work and errands, taking the #bus after working in hot weather in a drained swamp in a building with no central a/c and over a thousand moving bodies... Yeah, I'm not great... #poor #heat

At the end of the day, as long as you're not actively harming others, their thoughts and #opinions don't really matter. #Misery loves company, and the #miserable will drag down anyone who dares be happy with themselves. Being #happy is an act of #rebellion

Day 35 of writing my #novel using #free #community resources every day until I reach my audience. #fantasy #writer

Glad we could have this talk ❤️ #bigotry #lgbt #education #educationalpurposes #hate
