Dear Diary, Yes-I’m her emotional support dog-who chewed up her crayon. I needed a break. She eats, breathes, & obviously digests poems because tonight-she let one rip-what does she expect? For me to retrieve her poetic #fart? I think not. Help, Scout 🐾 #BraveWrite #vss365 #writing #poetry 🐶

Protests happen when they happen, if you can only show up on certain days show up on those days, if no protest is available on your dates then organize one, open your own spaces. Protests need to be daily, but not everyone is expected to show up daily. Do what you can when you can. Just show up.
