I read about things like news, politics, and other stuff. No Maga, and No Fascism. No Hookups. #ProDemocracy #ProHumanRights #ProLgbtq+ #ProReproductiveFreedom #ProUnion #FuckTrump

Each day look for something to celebrate—a moment of kindness, a reason to smile, or the gift of a brand-new day. We never know when life may surprise us with something wonderful. So carry a little emergency confetti wherever you go & be ready to celebrate the joy that finds you. #Jaye’sMorningLight
