I talked in another blog about the fact that so many, too many, of us have had their dreams denied by systems they had nothing to do with putting in place and with barriers neither they nor their families helped to build.The world was against them because of their skin color, religion, sexuality, income level,… Continue reading Dreams Without Dreamers

In which I talk about all the weirdo stuff I get up to.
