Happy Pride, y’all 🌈
Writers on Substack are coming together to generate support for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), which is currently seeking funds for urgent humanitarian needs and long-term recovery efforts in Gaza.
More info on the fundraiser/organization and how to donate here:
I’ll be donating my projected June earnings from Substack to support the cause.

🤓 Good Reads
Check out some Substack posts that inspired me recently…
“In the end the cranes sway, untangled, in window light.
They catch sunbeams. They catch morning breeze.
They swirl and fly together, these brothers and sisters, watching a world pass by as they look on in their suspended beauty.
Watching the rest of us flaunt our ugly imperfections…
A grace they were never granted.”
“A new workout, a “clean” eating regime or a meditation practice can’t make a person healthy in an unhealthy environment. No amount of therapy or prayer will erase the chronic stress of a two-hour commute, lack of childcare, medical debt, or loneliness. Walkable cities and towns would do more for our physical and mental health than a thousand wellness books.
The fact is, happy and healthy people don't just happen.
They are created by the culture in which they reside.”
“In this season of my life, I'm choosing people who choose me, prioritizing those who value our connection, and making space for nourishing reciprocal relationships. This intentional shift reflects a deeper understanding of what it means to truly connect with others and the importance of being selective about the relationships we nurture.”
