My friend Rev. Kelvin Sauls tuned me into the Winan family while at Hiwassee College. Their message of change is needed in times like these.
It’s Monday Again, Time For Monday Sized Coffee
The week is starting anew and it’s Monday through and through. May your coffee cup be ever full and let’s see what good we can do. Happy Monday or something like that.
Fandoms and Geek Community
Fandoms and geek communities are strong because those folks have a hard time finding acceptance and love elsewhere. People want a safe space to be who they are without fear or judgement.
Farewell Orphan Black – #cloneclub
The TV series Orphan Black ended its 5 year run and it was an amazing ride featuring four of many clones. These women were as unique and individual as you can find. The way they came into being and the story of their lives was one where they wanted the right to live their lives on their own terms without fear from the group who created them. Life can come in different forms and regardless of how these clones were brought into the world they also have the right to live and love who they wanted. Yes this is fiction but it tells a larger story and an important narrative. Super actress Tatiana Maslany played all the clones and she has reminded me of how the future is indeed female. Clone club forever.

Happy Left-Handers Day – #lefthandersday
This annual celebration is to honor people who have been born left-handed and also our way of raising awareness among the right-handed majority of the different talents and needs of the left-handed, particularly children.
So to all of us who are left-handed we can honestly say we are the only ones in our right minds. Have a great day fellow lefties. Keep Left!
Lots of great people are left-handed and we are here to have our say!
