My March ’22 Top Reads
A few days late, but still excited to share!

I am then going to the Stonewall Inn. I am going to hoist a drink for my heroes and heroines who fought for me. They showed the world that I do exist and it is my right to exist. I may even use the ladies’ room somewhere that day.
It seems like the right thing to do.

And here’s looking forward to April!
