Thanks, Dennett. Virtual connections are critical, especially these days with covid. I'm so sorry to hear about your book shop closing. It reminds me of a feminist book shop in Detroit that went out of business a couple of years ago for similar economic reasons. The neighborhood was coming up, rents were rising, book sales were down due to Amazon, and that's spelled the end of that, including of the tables out on the sidewalk where people used to like to sit around and chat.

By the way, in own story in response to this prompt, I wrote about an interview with an LGBTQ youth advocate who has some great ideas for getting involved with kids who need help.
