Sometimes you find yourself in a place where you have an excess of trapped emotion. My answer to this problem is Hathaway. Reduces me to snot and tears every time. Nothing like a bloody good cry. #LesMisérables #IDreamedADream
Dragons are real. And they live in the ocean.
Blue Glaucus or “the blue dragon” is a brightly colored nudibranch that incorporates toxic chemicals & stinging cells from prey into its skin as a defense against predation.

Was just doing research for a book I #amwriting and discovered that in the U.S., over 1600 #books were banned in school libraries in 2022 -- as compared to just 175 being "challenged" in 2015 (books that are challenged are rarely banned, according to the American Library Association, so the numbers of banned books that year were much lower).
In 2022, 41% of books were banned for LBGT content. 40% had BIPOC characters.

The year started with a dream where I was given the word pranayama. Didn’t know what it was so did some snooping on waking. So that’s a new activity to get into. Thanks The Universe.
