Letter writing is a lost art. There is something so intimate about dedicating part of your day to draft the perfect correspondence to someone,
Greetings and salutations friends! How is it June already? It felt like it was just January a few moments ago. I swear time isn't real sometimes. This month is a dual month: gay wrath and Indigenous history month, which makes for an angry, messy and hopeful time (I
Has it been raining a lot where you are?-It's been raining here more than it did last year and it's beautiful. We didn't get snow until what felt like late December, so everything was that post apocalyptic sepia and grey. Now it'
Tansi nitotemwak! It’s been awhile. Between trying to get over the forever plague my kids brought me and the Spring/Summer semester start, I haven’t been particularly good at keeping the Catch Up going. I’ve been trying to rest so that I can feel more human-ish soon.
