A little photo dump/life update. Typos are our tech overlord’s fault…when did the keyboard get so funcky?

The death of a mom is a life changing event. My life has changed. In honor of my mother, I am ensuring it is changing for the better. I am recommitting to the beautiful things we have in common: creativity, a sense of social justice. Indeed, in her final days, my mom made it clear she has never been prouder of me than when I used my writing ability to stop our corrupt former landlady, Maureen Merrill, from re-joining Windsor Town Council.

I am closing down my other commitments so I can focus my life’s work on writing. Not YouTube, or any other form of social media. How embarrassing that I confused the two.

If “If Grapes Could Talk” lives on, it will be as a podcast where I read my writing and interview sources.

But that can’t happen until I close a few other doors and windows…and settle my mom’s estate.

So until then,

Don’t let the bullies win.

Screenshots of the Press Democrat coverage of the sentencing that occurred yesterday after Sylvia Bracamonte’s killer pled not guilty by reason of insanity.

This is not an endorsement of The Press Democrat, but no other outlet is covering the story at this time. At least, not to my knowledge. And breaking news is not my strength.

Still, I wanted to share something about how this non-trial ended, so here it is.

Please hold space in your hearts for those closest to Sylvia, who will have to carry the weight of this injustice for the rest of their lives.

The updates I have for you about the court cases relevant to the violent death of Sylvia Bracamonte are not positive. The murder trial is delayed, again. The civil lawsuits filed by her family are in jeopardy. Now, more than ever, we must remember Sylvia’s history of advocacy and activism and show up for her the way she would show up for us 💜
