Some recent festive attire for our whole family: @global_mamas onesie, dress, and tie purchased last year at the warehouse in Minneapolis.

#latergram My adult life in local coffee roasters First local coffee roaster: @bongojava @fidonashville Most recent local coffee roaster: @blackhandcoffee Most significant ones in between: @roastcoffeeandtea (my go-to during my transition from teaching assistant to adjunct while dabbling in singing background vocals to sea shanties at open mics) @gimmecoffee (I visited every cafe they had at the time, except the one on a college campus, but including the one down the hill from waterfalls in Ithaca as well as all those in Manhattan and Brooklyn) @squareonecoffee (where I made some of my best friends in Lancaster, PA) @lamplightercoffee (where they always made me decaf without hesitance as I emerged from pregnancy into motherhood) @blanchardscoffee (where I met my first coffee farmer in person and where I first learned that coffee, which comes from a cherry, can taste like wine depending on how it's processed)

Today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. #WearBlueDay Human trafficking is the use of fraud, force, or coercion to exploit a human being for profit. Statistics about the number of human trafficking victims are usually lower than the actual number of victims because not every case of human trafficking is reported. Yet, this crime is preventable. When people learn to recognize the tactics potential traffickers use, they can turn away from false promises and opportunities. I am grateful to be working for an organization that creates this kind of education. I am thankful for the businesses that treat everyone in their supply chains with dignity, whose wares I'm proud to wear today: @tonledesign #tonleactivist @upavimcrafts @tenthousandvillages
