🐶 Hi! Hi! Hi! 🐶

There are like EVENTS and stuff that are coming up!

Come see me IRL, over IG or ETC!

I know I am often a bit of a hermit so honestly here are some of the (mostly) ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR: MAKING AMENDS IN AN UNAPOLOGETIC WORLD gigs that I’ll be gigging in th next lil’ while.

Come and get it while it’s piping hot.

Here (below), I’m talking about the impetus for the book—starting to realize that the laws of repentance could be applied in a broader way—and from there, I started to try to apply it to institutional harm, systemic harm, national harm.
