Hey CoSo #CoSobooks #CoSowriters and #authors! I'm getting ready to publish my book about being a homeless #punk kid in San Francisco!

I'm not the best at promoting my personal work, but if you want to check out the latest update, it's here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/violetblue/a-fish-has-no-word-for-water/posts/3672674

Editing in progress, and how "orphan Thanksgiving" -- thanks to the adult care circles that formed around us homeless kids -- expanded our chosen family.

For community members interested in #Covid19 prevention (plus survival tips and risk awareness), I posted a roundup of this week's #pandemic news and cool new mask stuff here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/pandemic-roundup-73841333

Our focus is staying safe, sane, and informed, inclusiveness and equality, *actually* protecting the immunocompromised, and surviving this mess!
