Peeps. I am being defiant about this whole end of Twitter thing. But. In the (likely) event I am being too naive, know I adore each & every one of you. My linktr.ee is in my bio so you know where else to find me. Please share where I can continue to follow you. 💗

Hey peeps, you may have noticed I’ve been quiet here. I hung on as long as I could, but have decided to vacate this app. Engagement is down & my feed is filled with bots & suggestions instead of posts from those I follow. You can find me on other social spaces. Link in bio. 💗

@presidencies89 I hope you enjoy my friend 💗

@CivicsPod I already started on my research ❤️❤️

So I’m posting this idea on here because I get more love and support from my podcast fam than I do my own family. I’m thinking about writing a book! I just had to get it out my brain!
