nightdog_barks: (Jane Addams in a red dress)
Second day of cold grey clouds and damp. Have been doing housely things, including folding laundry and putting a down blanket and quilt on the bed. Also I was reading about Jane Addams, for reasons, and wow, she was an AMAZING person. Besides the whole "founding Hull House" thing in Chicago, she fought for the rights of the oppressed and spearheaded a peace movement during the First World War that got her vilified by the NY Times (heh). She was also the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. So, wow. That's her in my icon.

Working on the last tweaks to the big Riververse story coming up, so readers should see it sometime this week. :-)
