Hey friends. Just wanted to say that I'm sorry that everything is falling apart a little bit. Well, the internet says that everything is falling apart—offices are shutting down and events are getting cancelled and many people can't work and other people have to work and it's always getting worse. But also, I'm sitting in the empty corner of a fairly busy coffee shop and nice trans people are ...

It's spring here, so, there's that.

Hi friends,
I didn't write a newsletter this weekend because I was waiting until I got the (surprise!) bonus episode up. But it still always takes longer than I think it will to make a podcast, so the bonus episode isn't ready and neither is the newsletter. SO, for now, I just wanted to say hello and that I hope you're doing well. Also, here are some photos of Rhubarb. Look how b...

Friends! I hope you're hanging in there. This weekend can be a rough one in the United States for many reasons, including but not limited to awkward family interactions; reminders of familial rejection; and/or the fact that everyone is celebrating Indigenous genocide for some reason.
