I'm giving up on a black out card for #bookbingonw2023 because I'm heading on vacation and will only be reading novels aimed at angsty teens for the duration. (But I think I still did ok.) Thanks @SeaArtsLectures@SPLBuzz for the summer adventure!
My semi-annual reminder to support @prisonbookprog @btbphilly @B2PSeattle @prisonerlitprogram @insidebooksatx and/or @BtBsNYC among others in their efforts to get books to incarcerated people. And obviously keep fighting for abolition! https://t.co/ap8hHsRPak

Thanks @KenmoreWA, KCD staff and volunteers for a successful tree giveaway! 600+ native trees will be added to yards and businesses across Kenmore increasing urban tree canopy-providing more shade, cleaner air, happier people, and reduced stormwater runoff https://t.co/JOkOeShyej
Maybe not headline worthy but the city did just pass a new tree ordinance, hire a new SDOT commish (one of the 9 agencies that oversees city trees), and work w/ME to maintain fruit trees! https://t.co/cwpL06F87H
