Friends of TFTL, this page will be shutting down soon as I am closing up my own personal FB page.

Here’s some good news: I have a new project with Desert Research Institute that will launch TOMORROW! Curiosity Lab by DRI is a new series of storytelling events across the state of Nevada that dives into the intersection of science, the arts, and the humanities.

I miss all of your faces ❤️❤️❤️
