The NYC buy nothing groups on FB might be a good place for Bluestockings to try to get books from!

Anytime I’m discussing current horrors and future possibilities with others I bring up your quote that “hope is a discipline,” thank you for your words

The gift that helps to re-fuel, re-align, take a deep breath to get grounded, and carry on.

Sending mega love, safety and endurance your way.

Thank you for these words of wisdom and clarity. My job is not despair and impotent rage, it is to see others in their fullness and reflect possibilities in my creative work.

Thank you so much, I teach a community college course on Justice, Equity and Diversity and I am going to have them read this. So many of my students kept looking for answers and I've already quoted you a lot to them, but I think this really responds to some of what they are looking for. Thank you so much for your work and your beautiful words.

thanks for teaching and for sharing this with your students. I hope that it helps them to perhaps feel less weighed down in this moment.

You're a radiant being.

Maybe we all are, I don't know.

But I definitely see your light and it guides me.

I cannot thank you enough.
