Hi! I'm a sub for GSACRD & I enjoy chatting politics, social justice issues, animal rescue, fiction & poetry, the best coffee houses, photography, tattoos, antiques/thrifting and the farmers market. Mortgage rates and inflation will also do for conversation but adoptable puppies is preferable if you ask me. I'm a volunteer for an animal rescue & a volunteer photographer when the opportunity presents itself. Married for 10 years, my husband and I have a 3 yr old son.
