SONG OF THE WEEK: I am Not Okay by Jellyroll This one actually started the Song of the Week idea because at the time it expressed what I felt. Life is life-ing even harder now than then, so this one’s appropriate. #musicsky

SONG OF THE WEEK: Back stabbers by The O’Jays A lot of people felt that they’ve been stabbed in the back by whatever powers that be trying to silence opinions they don’t like, steal inventions they’ve made, & vilify them when they are the villains. This is the sentiment of a lot of folks right now.

October 5-11, 2025 is banned books week! And as I think about the idiocy of banning books, I think about how many of those are by marginalized communities. Voices that are already in need of amplification continue to be silenced. Take action on Let Freedom Read Day Friday October 11. #BOOKSKY
